Michigan's performance might have been a shocker, but LSU's game was all about the seven overtimes. Everything changes when you start a possession that close to the endzone and the offenses are pretty much in desperation mode. The game is not the same, and is certainly not fair to defenses.

I'm not saying it was a good defensive game, but it was highly skewed. The vast majority of college football stopped trying to play any real defense a long time ago. This article was written WAY too late.

They need to move to the professional model or at least push the starting line of scrimmage back to the forty yard line. The offense has all of the advantage as players tire because the offense KNOWS where it is going every play.
