And all of them ran for at least 200 yards, if not closer to 300 yards, except for Penn St., who a) no one would say is not a physical team, and b) is probably the least "spread" of all of them.
I think what it mostly says is that forcing the D to defend against 11 players, including a great runner at QB and speedy outside pass threats is very difficult to stop, particularly for talented teams like Ohio St., Texas, even WVU. Most of them are very basic, they just make them choose which great athletes to defend or not.
What will slow all this going to the Pros is having multi-million dollar QBs taking shots the whole game. The NFL already can't keep their signal callers healthy for the entire season--including their athletic QBs (Vick, McNabb).

i totally agree with spreadattack. the spread formation & spread "concept" is to provide space for you players -- especially those with speed -- to create lanes & seams that are advantageous for the offense. the nfl will be much slower to this as the spread (like the option) is not as effective when you look at the overall speed at which ALL players move.

Mathematically, the odds are pretty great that they would be spread teams since I'd say 70% of D-1 teams are spread.
Every game looks exactly the same, just with different personnel. It's like watching the NFL where every team runs the same offense with variations.
If I see any more gun zone I'll puke. I'm not saying it's not a good offense. Obviously it is. But the great thing about college used to be that you could see a VARIETY of offenses from option, to power, to toss sweep, run and shoot, etc. It's all the same now.
