re: What time do you consider "Modern College Football"

The modern era started with the advent of two platoon football in the early sixties. It is a completely different game now, played by different types of athletes. Few players from that era could compete now, they wouldn't be big enough. Conversely, most modern players couldn't go sixty minutes while carrying the weight they carry.

Thanks. Interesting post.

Seems also consistent with the eye test in terms of video archives from before just seem really "different" from now to a degree that, say, the Oklahoma/Nebraska 1 v 2 game from 1971 or so doesn't.
