One anomaly might be the ‘92 Bama team in the national championship vs Miami.

I mean...there were power run teams that relied on defense that continued to win national championships or at least compete for them during the 80s. Nebraska was still running their option offense out of the I-formation and the national champions of 1985 - the Oklahoma Sooners - had quite possibly the greatest wishbone QB in the history of the sport under center.

Gene Stallings wasn't necessarily a throw back as a good many teams in college football were still playing that brand of football.
