I doubt any NFL team from the before around 75 could compete with the top 4-5 teams this year.
Player height, weight, speed, nutrition, conditioning etc are so far advanced now. I doubt any of those teams would know how to defend the HUNH spread offense.
Under modern college rules they can’t hold as easily, pass interference is more strict.
Even pro caliber 225-250 DL from that era can not last against the 300 lb’ers now. They would get pushed around very easily.
Their play calling is out of date and easily recognized.
Once you get to the late 70’s on I think you have good games until the mid 80’s when the lines started getting bulkier.
It would be fun to see some accurate computer simulations that can take into account all the things I mentioned earlier.
