What qualifies as "bad football" in your opinion?

A good number of people seem to think a final score of 42-45 or something in that ballpark is good football and fun to watch, but to me that just means one side of the ball was basically absent for four quarters.
To me, a good example of great football would be South Carolina @ LSU in 2012. LSU would win 23-21.
That says to me that both teams found the endzone a handful of times, but the defenses also made some plays. And it's why that game is my all time favorite.
So I guess bad football would be both QBs going something like 4/25 for 80 yards or so while the running backs run into brick walls.
But then you have games where teams move insanely well between the 20s and then stall.
So what is bad football to you? And what do you consider to be great football?
And yes , I know right now any football is good football

Alabama’s non conference schedule is bad football

Alabama had FSU , USC, and Wisconsin (I think) recently. Not to mention they get the best OOC teams in the playoff anyways.
Dont make this a stupid troll thread.

Bad football would be routs against smaller teams, or too much offense.
Good ones would be like:
The 2018 LSU-Auburn game was a barn-burner (no pun intended :)
The 2014 LSU game vs #2 Ole Miss game had defense, a little offense, emotion, and suspense. It was in doubt until the end.
Other good ones: 2008-2012 LSU-Bama and 2014 LSU-Bama games were all in doubt until the end and had a little bit of everything - offense, defense, etc.
2018 LSU-A&M (that is UNTIL the game was not stopped on the last play of regulation when TWO infractions were not called: The A&M QB spiking the ball on 0:00 and illegal formation - BOTH on the SAME play)

2014 LSU vs OM was probably boring as frick to non-LSU or Ole miss fans though. I agree though. One of the best.

75+% of drives being under 5 plays, then punt

Speaking of A&M, 2012 LSU vs A&M was also good.
I think you guys were up 14-0 at one point. Leads are never really safe in this conference though. Just ask Auburn.

I have no problem with Defensive slug fest. Anyone who thought LSU's last win over Bama in T-Town, 9-6, was bad football, should change their allegiance to the Big 12.

To me it's not about score, it's not about punts, or any of that.
I personally think it all boils down to execution. What makes for bad football is when teams are just failing to execute rather than 1 team stopping another.
WR is wide open, it hits him in the hands and he drops it = bad football.
Same play, but the QB overthrows the ball by 10 yards = bad football.
Or the QB under throws the ball and it gets almost intercepted, but the DB also drops the easy ball = multiple cases of bad football on the same play.
On the flip side.
WR goes up for the ball, defender comes in and slaps it away. Same result, but that's good football.
And when both teams are executing, then it's really good football.

Turnover-laden games, peppered with too many penalties.

Nothing is more frustrating to watch when you realize whoever wins will be the team with ball last.

3-2. 3-2 is bad football.
