The spread will not completely die out but given enough time defensive coaches will figure out ways to slow it down or neutralize it. LSU may have determined the right formula: ball control running game on offense, lighter faster DLs and LBs, athletic secondary on defense.

I think there is some truth to this. This is also the reason that I am cautiously optimistic about the offense that BB is building at Arkansas. As more SEC teams trend towards defending the spread, it will be difficult for them to retool and prepare for power football/ more smash-mouth offenses that see only a few times a year.

Those light, quick DLs will be crushed by road-grader OLs.
