Described as Basketball on Grass, Brennan Marion’s Fast-Paced 'Go-Go' Offense Arrives at Colorado
Brennan Marion’s scheme helped UNLV average more than 35 points per game in 2024 and is aimed at reviving Colorado’s stagnant run attack.
- On Thursday, August 6, 2026, first-year Colorado offensive coordinator Brennan Marion began installing his Go-Go Offense to revitalize the team's run game. The scheme features unbalanced formations designed to highlight young quarterback Julian Lewis's talents.
- Marion, formerly of Sacramento State, literally wrote the 68-page guide titled Go-Go Offense. Longtime coach Gus Malzahn, who mentored Marion at Tulsa, wrote the book's introduction.
- Players describe the high-tempo system as backyard football, favoring freedom over rigid routes. The offense relies on orchestrated misdirection, with running backs lined up side-by-side to create confusion.
- The Buffaloes hope this innovation unlocks a run game that has lacked a 100-yard rusher since Alex Fontenot went for 108 on November 11, 2022. Running back DeKalon Taylor said the system 'takes me back to being a little kid.'
- Coach Deion Sanders praised Marion's ability to get playmakers the ball, though he avoids calling him a 'genius' to maintain accountability. The team aims to improve upon last season's 20.9 points per game average.
