Actually, a lot. Thanks to RPOs (run-pass options), teams frequently tag a few screens and a good bit the quick game on the backside of the called run. Some teams (this is more pro than college) utilize their dropback passing attack through 2 and 3 level RPO conceptsNow it seems like their are just a few offenses left, which sucks. How many plays are run from the zone read?
I think you underestimate the differences between the spread offenses and overestimate the differences between the spread and other offenses.Personally I have lost some interest in football because of the copycat mentality and nearly every team in college running the spread. I like the spread, but not when every team seems to be running it. I know their are variations, but to most fans they are subtle. I still enjoy watching the service academies and Georgia Tech just for some variety.
Of course, you're a MT fan. Watching Hawaii spread the Blue Raiders for 50+ tends to make MT fans long for defenseI miss defense.
This is such a misnomer. If you are running a pro-style offense and decide to run, guess where you are making the handoff? 3-5 yards in the backfield.I'll tell what hasn't changed. You win games when you get under center and run the football down someone's throat while bleeding clock and reducing their possession time. The spread is great some of the time but all of the time is a gimmick. Running out of the spread makes me angry. You're literally back 5 more yards than you should be. Arrrrgh.
The blocking schemes aren't different. Outside zone from under center is the same as outsize zone from shotgun.But the blocking schemes are different and it eliminates the possibility of a QB sneak on short yardage. I prefer to run out of the pistol. You're not as far back and you have a bit better field position to drop back and pass.
Agree to disagree. The bigger schools that are under center don't need the gimmick. They cram it down your throat and they win championships and are ranked. The spread hasn't won us anything but 7-8 games a year only to get crushed in bowl games. Here's your prize.
Technically, Alabama doesn't run a spread. They run a pro with spread concepts.Well first of all, the past couple of years we have put Little Stock under center in short yardage.
Second, I do believe there was a couple of bigger schools who have won recently (Bama and Clemson) who utilize the Spread "O".
Lastly, we haven't been loosing because of our lack of "O", it has been because a good Middle School team could run up and down the field on us in the past.
Now all that said, from discussion with a seasoned MT player (Sr. this year) our "D" looked light years better this spring.
I'm looking for a much better team come fall.
Go Blue!!!!

There are very few true pure "drop back passers" anymore. Most QBs have the ability to roll out and/or provide some threat in the run game.I don't know any more about offensive schemes that what I learned between 1993-2000, playing madden and EA College Football but how can we throw a Richie in at QB and run a crazy offense and run up 77 against FAU last year. Granted it was FAU but seems like we had the most success when we were playing backyard option "do whatever it takes" play.
I prefer Athlete QBs rather than Drop back passers for college.

The reason you don't see more "Wild-Richie" offense is that it's predictable over an extended period of time. Gadget play, sure. Emergency backup, yeah. Full-time offense, no.
I once put up 144 points in NCAA, but it doesn't mean I'm the OC-in-waitingWhen I was the best Madden coach, I would drop back 40 yards, throw a hail mary, and run up the score.
Agree!!!!!I miss 6 minute possessions, solid fundamentals and taking care of the football.
On average, CFB teams scored just under 30ppg in 2015 (the latest year I could find information) so CFB hasn't quite gotten to the 63-49 score (unless it's Big 12 ).I do miss the days when points were more at a premium and touchdowns mattered more. Touchdowns used to result in exhilaration. Now I feel like they are more of a relief because it feels like you have to score one every possession. I like 28-24 type games much more than 63-49 games. Games also used to be completed in 3 hours, but not anymore with the amount of points being scored.
