Indeed, very slow developing plays. I'm not a fan of exclusively running the zone read, even when it's run well. IMO, it's a simple quarterback option offense with the QB in shotgun, rather than under center. The shotgun formation limits plays you can run. My problem with MR's offense was the defense never had to defend the QB. But, it was better than what being run now. If the QB is a real running threat, such as Mariota was, it is dangerous. opposite side DL and OLBs cannot commit to the RB, they have to defend their half of the field. If the QB is never going to run, it is idiocy... it is a very poor and inefficient way to run play action! If the coaches are expecting Luton to make run/pass option reads... just WTF? all that will every happen is the defense will hedge to the play side, shut it down, and force a pass. the opposite side DE can always play QB, every time. It is just... poor strategy. poorly conceived idea. oregon's success was not contingent on the offensive system, but at the speed they played. oregon's offense would have been just as successful running a pro system with a QB run option. Their level of talent was far better than most in the PAC-12, but they failed against equally talented teams.

I don't mean to be contrarian but do we know that Luton is not a runner? I can half picture him running for his life once or twice and not looking horrible. Travis Wilson did not look like he could run but I know some fans down south said something like Ichabod F'n Crane is running away from our DB's again.

If he can he definitely needs to learn how to slide. Looked like someone tackling a giraffe on the one run I remember.
