Sorry, I disagree with the premise that the spread can't win. It wins at the highest level of football, period. Saints, GB, NE, and the Giants. They are all various forms of spread you out, pass it around offenses. None of them (yes, even the Giants) have had great ground games recently. And obviously you need to have a QB that can execute it. Can Manziel? Personally, I don't think so. Too short, no arm, and too dependent on his feet. If he can learn, then watch out. If he can't, then he needs to watch out.

That said, college is a bit different, and you need to be able to pound the ball when needed. Sumlin could learn from Stoops here with the belldozer package.

He'll have to learn to run more than he has, especially when the run is working. Why there were 60+ pass plays in this last game, I'll never understand.

Spread is not air raid.

1 interception hit Mike Evans in the hands and bounced off his shoulder pads...

1 interception was a miscommunication with a true freshman wide receiver...

1 interception was truly Johnny's fault...

Everyone that watched that game knows what is going on. There is nothing evil about the forward pass. Try it sometime.

Air raid is a version (variant) of the spread, therefore it falls under a spread style offense. When discussing these offenses, the term spread generally applies.
