Why 50 points A Game Is Now Mandatory!

First, any offensive scheme must be devised to take advantage of the list of "gifts" given to
offensive coordinators by the NCAA below. The old adage "Offense sells tickets and defense wins
championships." Might be changed to "Offense gets you in the championship and defense wins it!"

Since 2008, there have been a number of NCAA FBS rule changes that favor the offense over the defense,
including the targeting rule. NCAA also made horse-collar tackle illegal, and allowed the offense
to block the defense below the waist, which further benefits the spread offense attack. Major NCAA
FBS rule changes include:


2008 – Leading with the crown of the helmet (targeting) will be penalized 15 yards. Offense
2008 – All face-mask penalties are 15 yards, eliminating the 5-yard incidental face-mask penalty. Offense
2008 – All horse-collar tackles are now illegal and penalized 15 yards. Offense

2011 – If player commits an unsportsmanlike foul before the ball crosses the goal line, the score will be
nullified and the penalty will be assessed 15 yards from the spot of the foul. Defense

2012 – Touch-backs on kickoffs moved from the 20-yard line to the 25-yard line. Offense
2012 – Blocking below the waist is legal within the tackle box. Offense

2013 – FBS added the “Targeting” of a defenseless receiver as a 15-yard foul and ejection. Offense
2013 – Blocking below the waist from the front is now legal anywhere on the field. Offense


2014 – “Roughing the Passer” foul now includes defenders who hit the quarterback below the knees. Offense
(This list does not include all rules changes just the major rules.)

As you can see, 8 of the 9 major rules changes have added more pressure to the defensive coordinators and made
the offensive coordinators life a lot easier. These changes have had a major effect on all offensive stats and the two
stats that seem to point to more wins and higher rankings are Points Per Game (PPG) and Yards Per Game (YPG).

And when it comes down to which one of these two stats have correlated into more wins and higher rankings every year since 2009.
It's Points Per Game! Seems obvious. But, forgetting about Yards Per Game is to forget about ball control and resting the defense.
Not resting the defense leads to shootouts. Can anybody say Miami vs UCLA 1998.

We, Miami, ranked 62 in scoring offense with 29.2 PPG. While Oregon ranked second at 47.2 PPG and OSU was ranked fifth at 45.0 PPG.
Miami's YPG ranked 47th at 430.3. While Oregon ranked 3rd with 552.9 YPG and OSU was ranked 9th at 509.7 YPG.

The point is, with these rule changes, the college football game of today is all about scoring. The offense's have been told by the powers that be, "go score and go score some more!"

So, it's time for Miami to put the "pedal to the medal" and score and score some more!

No, I haven't forgotten about defense. My thought's on defense will come later.

What's confusing about your post is when you mention the importance of ball control and resting the defense, which is exactly why we currently operate at a snail's pace offensively (120th in the country in plays per game with our skill talent should be grounds for termination on its own).

But you also said how Oregon ranked second in points per game at 47.2 and 3rd in yards per game at 552.9. They don't place any emphasis whatsoever on ball control or resting their defense. They rank 115th in time of possession.

We need a no huddle, no mercy offense that operates at warp speed to showcase the skill talent found in our recruiting base and light up the scoreboard. This slow the game down, limit possessions BS we've been running to inflate Golden's defensive stats is an extremely underrated problem surrounding this program right now. Forget ball control and resting the defense. Attack, continue attacking, and then attack some more.

It should be obvious that the "score and score some more" mantra means score and score some more.

The problem I've found with this forum is most of the posers, oops. I mean posters (which is less than 2.5% of the total membership) have their heads so far up Golden's a$$ they can't think straight and they continue to show their ignorance. Even when someone basically agrees with them. I hope your not one.

But, to give you the fact that totally escapes you, for the last 4 years there hasn't been a better team in the country than Oregon converting on 3rd downand 4 yards or less. Or a better team stopping their opponent from converting on 3rd down and 4 yards or less. That's ball control.
