I don’t think Rodriguez had anything to do with FSU but he was probably the first guy to use the no huddle spread as mainly a rushing offense. I’m pretty sure he’s credited with inventing the zone read play. And yes, he was running that offense in the 90’s at Glenville and Tulane. Also he was at...

Most teams played exclusively under center in the 80’s. Teams had shotgun packages but they were usually reserved for obvious passing situations. It was assumed that you were limiting your running game by not giving your back a running start before the handoff. In the 90’s when spread/air raid...

Roughing the passer and pass interference it’s existed in 2001. Like I said earlier, teams were already doing the stuff they do now on offense but it wasn’t popular yet. The big boys all started running spread offenses when the little guys started lighting up their defenses. Spreads didn’t take...

Erickson was definitely a spread pioneer. He was one of the first if not the first coach to replace a fullback with a third receiver at the P5 level. He didn’t use the shotgun as much as modern teams but I remember really loving those offenses as a kid because they actually threw the ball a lot...

I don’t think Rumph was as good in coverage as Buchanan but he was very physical in the run game.

So the point of the “discussion” is that 2021 Miami isn’t nearly as good as the greatest team of all time? Ok. Proceed with that discussion, chief

So the most talented team in 2021 might have two, possibly three guys who would have started for Miami in 2001. No surprises there. It’s the greatest team of all time.

How many 2021 Alabama players would start for 2001 Miami? Maybe one? Two of you want to split hairs? Also, I’m talking about position for position like LT for LT or WLB for WLB.

What team is the most talented team in college football in 2021? Alabama? Ohio State? Would anyone on either of those teams have started on Miami 2001? Also, offensively the game is completely different. Would I want Ken Dorsey running the zone read? Probably about as much as I’d want D’Eriq...
