FOOTBALLS Fans: Will this be the year defenses finally make some headway into slowing down Th Spread

[CrimsonTider]

We have been going for quite some time where the no huddle 4 play spread offenses have been virtually unstoppable.

The 4 plays

1 read option to the RB
2 read option QB keep
3 WR quick out/ screen
4 fake the read option and throw deep to Wide open WR

Eventually the defenses will have to start slowing this down right or will this offense be successful forever?

tOSU just held Oregon to 20 points in the natti game, and thats with giving them 4 turnovers too

Truthfully I wouldn't be surprised if the spread catches on in the pros now that playing defense is a penalty

That's a one game sample and OSU was better than Oregon and bigger.

But you can't deny that these offenses have been dominating college football for a while

Chip has been successful running it in the pros

Slow them down as in what? Holding them to 28 points instead of 35?

To 14...7 render it ineffective

Is the only way we are going to see this offense hindered is through rule changes?

They'll never get that low. Even power I teams Avg 21 for the most part.

Well will we ever get to spread teams averaging 21?

The WR quick screen/out is the worst play in football history and it's a staple of the spread offenses

That play being run 10 times a game is hurting my viewing experience

Absolute truth.
I don't think 21 is possible either just because the tempo gives them so many possessions. Plus when spread teams face good defense they always top out about 24-28 points. So I think that'd be the most reasonable score range.

Defenses won't slow them down you imbecile. The rules change not allowing lineman to run down the field will and 10 secs for defensive substitutions will
