Watson threw 70 passes in the game Clemson lost last year. It doesn’t matter who the QB is, that is too many. They lost because their defense had a bad day and Watson threw a few picks.CuntWaffle said:Bama is obviously the prime example. Over the past decade you barely remember who the Bammer QBs were, but you can name almost all their RBs off the top of your head.
Every once in awhile you get a QB like Deshaun Watson who is just has “it” that doesn’t mean you need to lean on the run game as much. Even then, Clemson had a stable of great running backs too.
So if you dont have a QB who can win then you just need to pound the ball on the ground and have a QB that doesn’t fuck that shit in the ass with a stout defense.
Passing non stop is not sustainable in college football where every game matters. QB’s have bad days, the weather gets cold, turnovers happen more when throwing the ball. More passing attempts means more hits on your QB.
Most pass heavy teams are soft on defense too.
The teams that run the ball best typically win the PAC 12. USC, Oregon, Stanford, and UW. On the national level, Alabama. Saban and Urban Meyer teams always run the ball well.
The game is still simple. Win up front and be the tougher, more physical team. A great QB like Watson or Mariota can sometimes mitigate that, but those guys are rare.
