Do you guys like watching this new style of College Football

[the_czar]

how many of these spread quarterbacks will ever amount to anything in the NFL where there are real players at every position on defense and the game gets exceptionally fast?

the arizona cardinals are the closest nfl team trying to play this "big 12" offense. this means no regard to timeouts, clock management or down and distance. they can whip up on their inferior opponents in their division, but washington, philly, both new york teams and carolina have all punished them. i know they did beat dallas, buffalo and miami (at home) but there is no guarantee they are going to the playoffs.

back to the ncaa, the game is quite inferior to the nfl so they have to add gimmicks. just like basketball. i am stunned why so many people like ncaa basketball and hate the nba. under that premise they should be in head over heals love with high school ball. until this season the ncaa 3 pointer was a joke. how many times have you had what seemed to be a sure under in a game only to see 25+ scored in the last 90 seconds because coaches play bomb and foul plus their timeout crap. then you hear some jackass announcer say even though his team is behind by 9 points with 7 seconds left he is still coaching. nba teams rarely do this. they know when they are going to lose and go home.

the greatest athletes are in the nba and nfl. every other league is bush league.

one day the sportsbooks will start hanging totals of 80+ on oklahoma and 50+ on their team total. these style points are just another reason that college is so inferior.

Sometimes I need to verify that I am reading football score final, not basetball.

The game is wide open; the attitude is (not conciously), "let them score, we'll out score them". The days of the "hard rocks" or the "chinese bandits" are long gone.

if youre a true football fan and actually played and understand the game.(assumming no money on over/under)...you like to watch good football. that means good offense and good defense. if youre a true football fan a whole bunch of tds can be just as boring as no tds. however one of my girls, if i watch game with her. she doesnt care about defense whatsoever, blitzes, or what offense team is running or if the guard is pulling. all these girls look for and wanna know 'is it a td, did they score td'....lmao. same soft gay guys think same way. we call them losers. we want to see the mans game, and the way it was originally supposed to be played. they want to see a litttle boys flag football type game. or a powder puff type game where girls play girls and boys are cheerleaders. and theres no defense or line of scrimmage. its just td after td whoever has ball last...the same is happening now with alot of these teams. and losers jack off at the sight of it...but real men dont. i agree dont like this spread bullshit. we wanna see physical hardnosed manly football.

Your English is an absolute disaster, but I laughed here.

I don't like this brand of football or "soft gay guys" either for that matter.

The spread offense was put in to negate the strength of the better teams and give the perennially weaker teams a fighting chance. I don't see anything wrong with playing wide gaps and spreading the ball around as opposed to trying to play 7 on 7 smash mouth football in which the weaker teams always lose. I see nothing wrong with a coach wanting to give his team a fighting a chance to try an level the playing field.

Welcome to the Pac-10/West Coast
(PS ask anyone at Florida what they think about Urban Meyer's style of offense.)
Also, save the smash mouth hard nosed stuff for the defense.
That's the formula for winning NC's.

Rule changes have ruined football for the people who liked the original game.
When DB's arent allowed to look wrong at receivers or touch them coming off the line, why not throw the ball every down. You couldn't pull this shit in the 70's and early 80's because the weak ass receivers would get smashed at the line, and if you didnt keep enough in the backfield to block for your QB he wasn't gonna make the 2nd QTR.
Thank Bill Walsh/ Don Shula for changing how holding is called and for pussifying the QB position. With the addition of stupid INT calls and no touch DB play, why not throw the ball every down.

I like defense so it killed me to watch the rules changes in the 80's. Once the rules changes were made in the pros it worked its way down to the college game. In the spread offense the QB should be PLANTED every time, he is a threat to run, right?

very true, nice post

Do you prefer the Notre Dame dropback offense?

If run correctly, yes. The only good game Saturday was the KU-Missouri gome IMO. We need balance between offense and defense and it is way out of whack now. Good defensive games are great to watch too. I believe the spread offense hurts the pros too, qb's are not as ready to play.
