During the OC search you were ADAMANT that the Oregon spread was the truth. That we should abandon our pro-style philosophy for something more "modern".

After watching what Ohio State was able to do with that juggernaut offense, do you still feel this way? Oregon has made it to two national titles in the past 4 years and been physically dominated both times. Ohio State's formula wasn't complicated. Control the LOS, pound the rock, and play good defense. Oregon never really had an answer all night.

You realize that was a spread offense that won the game, right?

And you realize that there's a difference in what Oregon runs and what Ohio State runs, right?

Did you watch the game? In what ways did those offenses resemble each other other than not lining up in the Power I?

The spread can be a lot of different things. Ohio State's features the downhill power game as it's primary action. That's why teams win with that.

Whatever kind of offense you run, you have to be able to run between the tackles based on brute force. It's how you move the ball consistently against good teams.

It's pretty amazing to me that Meyer ran the spread option quite a bit differently at Florida and still had a ton of success on offense. I hate that fricker but he can coach some foosball.

I think Meyer may be the best gameday coach in college football history. I hate that motherfricker, but you can't argue with his results. He's the kind of coach who could beat you with his system and players, then also take your system and players and beat his.

Ohio isnt a spread as much as a zone read with more of a QB threat than what we do. We run the same play they ran all night..

The formula for success is a superior combination of size and athleticism at every position including QB. We have seen the QB model with Tebow, Cam Newton, Mariota, Winston and now Cardale Jones. I want a more athletic QB at Georgia who has a cannon arm and can make critical first down yardage when needed.

I called it a spread option but you're probably right. All I know is when he has a little time to prepare for a game, he's almost unbeatable when he has a little bit of talent.

LOL at you thinking what OSU was doing even remotely resembles Georgia

It is the truth or did you not watch that team dismantle FSU. Just because they lost to a very good OSU team doesn't take away from their accomplishments. Oregon would beat the dog shite out of Georgia.

The dual threat quarterback and running out of the spread formation was a feature for OSU and Oregon. That is a different threat that UGA simply doesn't pose.

That GIF shows exactly what you quoted. Downhill running...with power. Are you saying it's different because there was a read option? Like Hutson ran with Chubb all season?

Georgia doesn't run that play, but Georgia runs the ball downhill just as effectively. How you do it is pretty insignificant as long as you do it.

The read option where the quarterback actually poses a threat to run the football and pass the football. Hutson only posed about a 1/4 of that threat.

Pretty boy, you obviously missed his read vs Mizzou where he tucked, exploded through a gaping hole, tripped on the 2 yard line and fumbled after breaking the plane without ever being touched. Cardale & marcus got nothing on Houston Manson.

You do realize that Ohio State is spread as well, right? UGA uses a lot of spread elements in their pro-style.
