Just a guess but I’m guessing the 2015 season. The year Bama and Clemson played in Arizona. I think it was 20-5.

UGA with Mac Jones or Trevor Lawrence would win one this year.

It’s more about QB play than which scheme you choose.

Same deal at LSU under Miles. If you had AJ McCarron instead of Jordan Jefferson you probably win 2-3 championships.

That game was a shootout. I think Bama mainly was pro style that year but had a good number of spread elements under Kiffin.

Any “pro style” at this point is going to include a lot of spread concepts

If pro-style means under center then probably 2013 FSU or 2015 Alabama.

If pro-style means non-RPO/tight ends/etc then that expands quite a bit.

I always understood pro style to be under center two backs in backfield, usually in I-formation though split I or split backfield also , one tight end two receivers

Disagree on scheme.

If you put Burrow under center last year with 2 RBs, no way he produces anything near the results we saw. And no Natty against a Spread/RPO opponent.

You need a QB who can throw and can read defenses, WRs who are ready to play, a solid RB who can catch, etc.

Spread/RPO, with the right coaches and players, is unstoppable.

Just keeping it real.

The NFL has adopted a lot of collegiate schemes because its hard to pay 5 good O-linemen. You rarely see any 5 step or 7 step drops. Everything is out guickly within 2 seconds.

The Titans still run a lot of pro sets, because you have to respect their play action. They like to run the ball to set up their passing game. Play action is really the only way they get explosive plays in the passing game.

I disagree because I don’t think offensive effectiveness is measured in points scored, but in yards per play.

A pro style offense with spread elements (see UGA or Bama this year) with the pieces LSU had last year could’ve been just as efficient from a yards per play standpoint as the spread attack you had.

Sark is running the new pro style attack in Tuscaloosa this year and the offense has been more consistent to date than what we had last year with Tua because the run game brings stability and fewer three and outs.

The cumulative effect of the game plan led to UGA abandoning the run game on offense and their defense who I think is best in the nation giving up by the 4th quarter because they were gassed and had no answers.

Bottom line with the right pieces both are effective when executed properly.

I agree. With how lax college officials are on calling illegal man downfield on passing plays, you really have to take advantage of the RPO to some extent in your offense or you are leaving yards and points on the table. It puts maximum pressure and confusion on the defense.

As much as I'm a fan of Mac Jones, his limitation in effectively being a threat to run is a big part of what puts him a notch below a guy like Trevor Lawrence. Lawrence's mobility and throwing ability combined with the favorable RPO rules really make it difficult to stop Clemson's offense.

Alabama can still run RPO but it's RB run focused, not QB run focused. That can still be effective but when you have QB run, RB run, and pass options ALL clicking in the RPO it's obviously the biggest advantage.

Scheme matters a lot.
