if i'm being honest, then as it relates to the future of the UT football program, i'm not OVERLY concerned with the prospects for future NFL potential in the big 12 vs. the SEC. Right now, i know this much: the big 12 has some very good offenses. The SEC does not.
I'll grant you that the SEC top to to bottom is much better on D than the big 12.......but what i simply can't get past is how bad the majority of our league is on offense. Florida is the best offense in the SEC. followed by, what Georgia and Alabama? then what? the rest of the SEC is basically putrid on offense.
so while i don't think the big 12 would be putting up these 30 and 40+ point shoot outs if in the SEC cause the defenses are better.........there's really only one team, maybe two, that i can see offensively, that could out score some of those big 12 schools.
I mean really, we're talking about a league in the SEC where 9 of hte 12 teams struggle to get more than 1 freakin' touchdown per game. Point being, so maybe TTU, TX, OU, OSU etc....don't score 50+ points in some of these games....they only score 30.......cause of the defense being so good.......i bet they could still, even at that pace, out score most of these SEC teams this year.
Anyway, all that to say..........i don't think Leach's offense would work long term in the SEC.
