Message: [QUOTE="SU94, post: 2617908, member: 202"] We were that running team in the 80s and around half of the 1990s. Things changed a bit thereafter. For the better in many ways, but not in terms of pace of offense. I miss those days, but as I say that, I am not being critical of JAB or the current staff. The college game as a whole has changed quite a bit. There used to be games, both squads scoring in the high 80s and low 90s, between good teams. Those are rare these days as defense has evolved and coaches have become overly controlling. SU and its zone is a bit of an exception at this time, but I don't think it is a coincidence that the top 5-6 programs are all high scoring programs: Nova, Duke, UNC, KU, UK. I think that MSU is another exception, as their program, to me at least, is predicated more on defense than offense (they have a healthy blend). [/QUOTE]
