College Football 2010-2011

[Drago]

i know nothi ng abt college football but when i been in the states many people told me its better than nfl

Totally different atmosphere between the NFL and College ball. College also has many more varieties of offenses and defenses which I find more interesting to watch.

Well there's really no way to explain it to you without really trying to teach you which would take forever.

Just like in soccer where you can have different numbers of Strikers or Midfielders in Football you can have different numbers of Running Backs and Wide Receivers/Tight Ends. And using different formations you can utilize different strategies on offense. I will give you the 2 offenses that are farthest apart in terms of what their strategies are.


Flexbone - Triple Option:Flexbone is the FORMATION, the Triple Option is the strategy most used with this formation

-------------E-T-G-C-G-T-E----------
-----------W-------Q--------W-------
----------------------------------------
---------------------B-------------------

Here's a key for the letters:
E = Tight End
T = Tackle
G = Guard
C = Center
Q = Quarterback
W = Wingback/Running Back
B = Running Back/Fullback

So this offense has 3 running backs (the most you can have when using a quarterback...and not all offenses use the quarterback) and the strategy is run the ball, use the clock, and wear out the defense. I guess you could compare it to a Possesion/Counter Attack team in Soccer.

The best example of this today is Georgia Tech



Shotgun - Spread: Shotgun is the formation and the spread is the strategy.

------W---------T-G-C-G-T----------Z
---------X---Y--------------------------
-----------------------Q--B-------------

Key:
W, X, Y, Z = Wide Receivers
T = Tackle
G = Guard
C = Center
Q = Quarterback
B = Running Back

This offense can use up to 5 Wide Receivers and they can be positioned basically anywhere. The strategy of this offense is to throw the ball down field....I guess similar to a Long Ball style strategy in soccer.

The best example is Texas
