I honesty think its the opposite. No deception vanilla O and D.

I don't care what anyone says. If you execute perfectly every time with no deception, no strategic scheme, you'll lose. How the game is played exemplifies that. They have different plays. If deception and scheme were not huge parts of the game, you'd run the same play perfectly executed over and over. ND's coaches rely on experience and talent. They bring very little to the table from a scheme and strategy stand point. At least, very little effective succesful strategy. I'd say their lack of aggression hinders the talent.
