I know most will probably side with whatever offense their favorite team happens to be running at the moment, but what style do you prefer, as a fan, from other teams. If you were going to sit and watcha game that you couldnt care less who won, would you prefer a high scoring game or a defensive battle?

just curious, as for me, I like watching defense over 56-52 games

High scoring is far more entertaining than a defensive struggle.

Obviously the goal is to have a balanced game.

I actually prefer games in the 20-30 point range, although whatever style leads to more wins I'll take.

Strong running game. I thought Florida's offense against Georgia this past year was beautiful.

I'll take a 7-6 win over a high scoring game any day of the week.

I like to see strong play from both sides of the ball

I prefer somewhere in the middle where both sides of the ball make a difference in the outcome.

I'm somewhere in the middle. 9-6 is boring, but 61-58 is just laughable.

I just want to win, regardless of whether the game is a 53-10 blowout, a 45-33 score fest, or even a 35-28 come from behind OT win.

Run first defensive teams

I get more pissed off when the other team scores than I am happy when Arkansas scores

I guess just like everyone else I'm going to side with the style of play my team is, but even though we lost the game I really enjoyed watching this past year's Iron Bowl. Tons of big plays and exciting moments.

If I wanted to watch teams trade scores like that on every drive, I'd watch basketball.

I've been an A&M fan my whole life. Second generation. Going to games since 2nd Grade. Recently we've had some years when we could score almost at will but couldn't stop anyone, as you all know. We've also had A LOT of years when we couldn't complete a forward pass but could shut down anyone.

I'm a Defense guy 100%. Some of the best games I've ever seen have included a 10-2 loss to Florida State and a 13-6 win vs. Arkansas. The best game I've EVER witnessed was a 9-6 "beatdown" of Nebraska.

Having a great defense is 99 times more fun, exciting, and "pridesome" than having a great offense.

I like 28-35 games for those that arent my team. A touchdown every 20 mins of watching (for a 3 hour game) is enjoyable to watch. Any more or any less gets boring.

For Arkansas a 3-0 or 70-0 can be enjoyable.

A contrast of styles is more enjoyable to me than a ground vs ground or a spread vs spread.
