Most of the SEC is running spread now. It's pretty much a myth that it doesn't work in the SEC.

You guys use the term "spread" very loosely. Kelly ran the spread option at Oregon, and would likely run it again in college. The only team in the SEC that runs something similar is Auburn. UT, Ole Miss and State have QB run wrinkles, but use bigger lines and are more pass heavy. They aren't spread option teams. Bama isn't even close. They are more of a multiple single-back offense.

A&M ran it with Manziel and with KK at OC, but they aren't running as much spread option these days, except when Kyler Murray was playing. UF ran it when Meyer was there.

Auburn has been boom or bust with the spread option. UF was obviously great with Tebow, but it's tough to run a spread option in the SEC without a guy like him or Scam. They don't grow on trees.
