What to watch in Texas A&M football's spring game: Klein's scheme

Now, I'm not so foolish as to think that new offensive coordinator Collin Klein will completely tip his hand here in the end-of-spring exhibition game as regards his new playbook. However, I will be interested in seeing what all has been implemented so far.

The multiple nature of Klein's scheme is what has me and other Aggie fans so excited about its implementation in College Station. How much of that multiplicity will we see on Saturday? How many different formations will the team roll out? Will they stay more vanilla?

Some specific things I'm watching for (other than variability in formations): whether the Aggies use tempo (and, if so, how much do they do it), the amount and kind of screen calls we see, and the level of involvement by the tight end position.

If I had to guess, we don't see anything too fancy this weekend. However, I don't think it will be something that is completely unrecognizable compared to how the scheme will look come August. Insofar as it is different than the Jimbo Fisher offense we've seen over the past six years, this will definitely be a point of interest.
