Spread offense not all that.......

There are many different versions of the spread. Simply spreading the defense out and running the ball with your tailback and throwing timing patterns to your receivers will probably always be successfull (so will the pro-style). Running your QB all the time like Florida and WV do is for the birds. When Tebow gets a season ending injury next year Meyer will look like a Jack-Ass.

Teams figured out a long time ago that if you run your QB all the time you will get him killed. This is why I prefer a Pro-Set since you can do anything you want plus you feature a strong running game.

Florida didn't have a RB to complement Tebow. When they have one, Tebow will be running the option. IMO Florida's offense will be more dangerous, and he will take less hits.

IMO Florida's offense needs a QB in the mode of an option QB. Teams have had option QB's for decades, without the QB being injured every year.

I disagree. Meyer wants the ball in the QBs hands so the pass remains one of the options. They might hand it off a bit more, but not much.

From what I've read, the spread option offense is a run first offense. Basicly the option being run out of the spread formation to create more running room. Florida will still pass the ball, but I think Meyer prefers to run the ball.

I think the vast majority of coaches prefer the run, but occupying the safeties with the pass option keeps the run option available. Death to the triple option was the safeties coming up and effectively eliminating the option by having one player take the QB and the other take the pitch man. No longer was the end / OLB forced to decide. Same here. If the safety always has to fear the Caldwells and Harvins blowing by them, they aren't available to defend the pitch until it's several yards down the field.

The Spread O leaves your defense on the field too long and requires a very deep receiver chart.
You bust it with zone defense, crazy fast LBs, and stay-at-home discipline.
Chase Daniels wan't touched all season and never close to being injured. Great selection and quick to commit. Sound like anybody you know? #18 maybe?
I, too, would love to see UT go guns up.

Where are you getting this from? Meyer this year took the single wing and modernized it. Figuring out something doesn't mean you can stop it. I can figure out that a deer is standing in the middle of the road 100 feet away, but it doesn't mean I can avoid clocking it.

The NFL doesn't use it because their coaches are boring and unimaginative. I noticed how well Brad Smith of the Jets running a very basic double option from the shotgun worked against the Soviet Union, I mean Patriots, last week; most teams won't risk it because:
1) They think that mammoth size on the offensive line beats quickness and acceleration (lunacy), and
2) They think that throwing the GNP of Angola at a cross-country runner who can throw a football is a good idea

Every major innovation in football of the last 50 years has come from the college ranks, and normally it's something that's had to have had a period of widespread success before it's even considered. Pro coaches basically mimic each other; no one would consider a 3-4 defense until the USSR won a Super Bowl with it, and in one season 16 teams switched over (in spite of basic things like "suitable personnel").
