Yes the sky is also blue.
Florida had 4000 passing yards and 2000 rush yards in their 1996 national championship. For gods sake Spurriers offense was given the name "AIR BALL".
This is not debatable that a true passing spread offense has ALREADY won a national championship. /end thread

Florida under spurrier ran the ball very well. Utilized the draw to gain tons of yards. They may have set up the run with the pass, but they were a very effective running team.

That is the most important stat to me. I would have guessed that Florida would have had more TOP.
