re: Spread Offense vs. Pro Style Offense

You only have so many scholarships and spread teams stack the offensive side with the best ones. Doesn't matter if it's Oregon, Okie State, TTU, Baylor, Houston or TAMU, it just works out that way.

It was said before in the thread, less talented teams use the spread to be competitive with more talented teams. But generally when a strong pro-style teams engages for sustained drives that advantage evaporates in the second half with a worn out inferior defense.

TAMU caught Alabama at a good time. They were worn out physically and emotionally from the game with LSU and didn't play well. Not to take anything away from A&M, those wins of Arky, Ole Miss, Miss. St., and Auburn were nice but all were flawed teams.

Sumlin will recruit well but the cupboard he inherited was not exactly bare. TAMU will continue to improve but defensive coordinators will also. We'll see.
