Most folks associate anything besides a pro-style offense with the spread.

mark may and the bachelor should know better

spread is one thing

spread option is one thing (with 2-3 different types that can be sub-divided)

option is one thing

people need to get this straight. especially the experts

the only thing GT spreads out is the backfield

3 RBs + a mobile, non-throwing QB

"Spread" is fun to say, fwiw.

It reminds me of bread and butter, and cheese and crackers, among other things.

calling an ancient, option-based offense the spread is fricking ridiculous, especially from a so-called expert

If these guys are being paid for their analysis is it too much to ask that they know the difference between simple offensive concepts?

I think we should invent a new name. How about "South Coast Sloption."
