Can Mountain Football improve by modernizing offense?

Stardust Wrote:Spread football has dominated the college scene for 10 years. It is now the primary offense for Pro teams. Every HS team that wins the title this year will be a spread offense. If you are a HS that does not run the spread, then you will NOT compete against good teams. Everyone will come back with their one exception, but the reality is that the game has changed and you can no longer win by lining up and running over people.

As times are changing I have to agree with you, those option run teams are dying in the football ranks, HS, College, and Professional. However to say "you can no longer win by lining up and running over people" is a pretty stupid statement, in any level. Look at the college ranks; Georgia Tech, Navy, Air Force, Carson Newman, and Georgia Southern all run some sort of "power" based running offense, and run it really well. Many schools have utilized the option in modern sets, like Florida and Oregon. In the NFL you can see Tim Tebow and Cam Newton running triple option just about every week, so obviously you're wrong. As for high school, I do believe we have seen cases where mountain teams who run the bone in some sort of variation won it all. You can look at how Belfry beat teams like Ashland, Pikeville, Pike Central, and Henry Clay. I know you said "Everyone will come back with their one exception", well I gave you 10 examples who run power based offenses and win football championships.
