Warrior General Games

The Greats lost and the Raiders lost to teams that prepared well and ran the gameplan that gave them the best chance of winning. That's not cheap. It's not an exploit. It's a matter of finding a defense that can stop it (and some defenses have been able to).

All this "well you guys ran the ball 70 times" is getting ridiculous. One of the most dominant teams in college football history, 1995 Nebraska, lined up and shoved the ball down everybody's throats while running five run plays constantly. Teams knew exactly what they were doing. Do you think that the coach opposite Osborne said in his press conference after the game "Gee, if the Cornhuskers hadn't been so cheap and decided to throw the ball, we would have won"? I seriously doubt it.

To the teams that complain about equal-leveled teams not being able to stop the run, go out and spend this offseason building your team's levels. YOU control how highly leveled your team is through recruiting.

To the teams that claim the play can't be stopped, I'll tell you that you're wrong. Go out and find a team that was able to stop it and find out their strategies. You don't have to reinvent the wheel.

I agree with you for the most part. I really haven't seen a team that can stop the strong I but to be honest I haven't looked very hard so i'm sure they are out their. The problem I see is you would basically have to base your defense around that one play, most likely exposing you big time to the passing game.

Nebraska was able to run down peoples throats because they overpowered opposing teams. In GLB teams are running down peoples throats not because they are stronger but because they are choosing a certain dominating play. Pretty much any playoff team could run the strong I with success. Nebraska was pretty much the only team that could run the ball how they did.

Once again I agree for the most part. Complaining about a team using a play that everyone has access to is pretty lame. I'm more upset with Bort for allowing one play to be so dominant. It makes games boring and passing irrelevant.
