Back to the age-old question, would a spread offense work in the SEC?

Spread offenses don’t work. Look at Auburn.

All spread offenses are not created equal. Bama runs a spread offense now.

Just look back at how many spread teams have played SEC teams and the results to get your answer.

Bama definitely runs a spread

Auburn beat UGA and Bama last year.

It does raise a question though. With Stidham back (who was considered a very good QB last year) and Malzahn still overseeing the offense, why is Auburn's O struggling this year?

A very shitty one

Right or Left

This shows how dumb LSU fans can be.

Alabama has been running a spread since 2014, Auburn runs a spread, Florida runs a spread, Mississippi state, Ole Miss, Arkansas and Missouri all run a spread.

South Carolina, Texas A&M, Kentucky and Georgia all run variances of the spread with pro style concepts mixed in.

The spread works, what doesnt work in the SEC or at least not to the same extent as other conferences is the air raid style spread that Missouri runs.

But yes the spread works especially when coached by a coach who knows the concepts.

nope ,you win with defense , crossing the goal is all little kids know and a lot of grownup fans are the same way !

A spread offense is only as good as the OC making the play calls and the QB carrying out the orders effectively.

ETA: Unlike the NFL, most college teams are still a run first program. Once the teams that have stellar defense become pass first, they are going to reign for long time. I find a viable passing game opens the running game much more than the run game opens up the pass (see New Orleans Saints).
