Mike Leach says SEC is "nothing special"

Nothing wrong with SEC offenses.

I really would like to see Leach line his OL up with 3 yard gaps against a DL like Alabama or LSU. Hell, he can't even win doing it in the PAC12.

Well, he's flaming a bit to get attention then. Put aside on the field successes, and delve into the culture of SEC football, and I think it is resoundingly special and beyond reproach. The only people that remotely take football as serious as the SEC are in the Big 10.

He's not wrong.

It was on par with 2 other conferences this year. If 3/5 are on par, then they aren't special.

He's right.
This is why I pull for SEC teams against OOC teams. Because of the many losses to these outside teams, the SEC is now just another major conference. All the other schools not named Alabama are just average, playing in an average conference. Now we'll see how your recruiting goes over the next couple of years.

Alabama is just an average offense too. They're not immune from that criticism.

Now, I will say this. I'd love to see those teams with the high powered offenses come and deal with SEC defenses week in and week out. Take Clemson for instance. Watson was incredible in the championship game. However, he took a beating. He would have taken a similar beating against a bunch of other SEC teams during a season. They barely beat a pretty bad Auburn team. That's what people like Leach fail to realize. Your QB would never be comfortable in the pocket. Watch PAC 12 games. The QBs have all day to throw.

I don't think you'd like that at all.

You're so full of shite your eyes are brown! Alabama has transcended the rest of the conference and are in a league of their own. The rest of you clowns need to do something about you own programs and stop your envy and jealousy of Alabama. Y'all are too stupid to realize that Alabama is actually carrying the conference from a prestiege standpoint.

WTF dude? What he said isn't wrong? Hell, there have Bammers even saying that Bamas offense isn't anything spectacular. Sorry your team isn't being praised like you think they should be every second of the day.

Don't know what you're laughing at. Bama changed to a modern offense and they are running rough shod over your league, uncontested. You'd want to see even better offenses on a weekly basis?

---

Because having the best defense in college football every year has nothing to do with their current run.

Right?

Clemson doesn't seem to think so.
