FBall do you watch college football? The spread does not mean it's a pass first system. Nearly all spread teams are run first, Auburn, Oregon, Ohio State, UK and so on, all run first approaches. The spread provides better numbers in the box so that you are able to run the ball when you cannot simply line up in two TE's and smash mouth it. Secondly, Raceland did just win a title, a regional title and a final four appearance and once again, had a ton of success with the spread against Russell and other larger schools. My final point is that people have such a misconception about the spread, they think it means throw throw throw and gimmick gimmick gimmick.. That's not it; it's about giving your players a chance to compete every Friday even though teams may be bigger, stronger, and faster than you. You put athletes in space, you take advantage of numbers in the box, and you limit defensive substations while dictating tempo and wearing down your opponent. Good luck running it down Belfrys throats with two tights and a wing, not going to happen unless a Russell is just THAT good. Why do you think Uk hired Neal Brown?! Because they know they can't compete against superior talent with a pro style offense. Same goes in high school football.
