2011-2019 the flip
https://www.espn.com/college-football/st...ek-11-more

Interesting observation.

2011 LSU 9 Alabama 6
Baylor 50 TCU 48

2019 LSU 46 Alabama 41
Baylor 9 TCU 9 in regulation (final 29-23 3OT)

"...the Bears visited Fort Worth and found themselves down 9-6, of all scores, late in regulation. They tied the score with a late field goal, and the teams needed three overtime possessions each to cross 600 total yards. Whereas Griffin and TCU's Casey Pachall combined for 610 yards and a 189.3 passer rating in 2011, Baylor's Charlie Brewer and TCU's Max Duggan combined for 335 yards and a 97.3 rating Saturday.

LSU's Joe Burrow and Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa, meanwhile: 811 combined yards and a 178.8 passer rating. Burrow threw for 252 yards and three scores as the Tigers burst out to a 20-point halftime lead, and Tagovailoa went for 246 yards and three scores in the second as the Tide almost came all the way back.

The Baylor and TCU defenses, two of the best in the Big 12, were a step ahead of their opposing offenses for most of the afternoon in Fort Worth. The Alabama and LSU defenses, armed with both a track record and the fruits of blue-chip-heavy recruiting classes, could gain the upper hand for only a possession or two at a time.

This weekend was the perfect encapsulation, then, of the life cycle of the college football offense...."

"...Eight years ago, the top five scoring offenses belonged to Houston, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Baylor and Boise State. Now, they belong to Ohio State (average RecruitingNation recruiting class ranking over the past five years: 6.2), Oklahoma (12.0), Alabama (2.2), LSU (8.2) and Clemson (7.4). Building a conservative, defense-first team has become, to a large extent, an underdog tactic...."

Illustrates my argument that it is time for the G5 schools who made spread option their bread and butter to start looking for the next hot thing because the big boys are now embracing it or at least significant concepts and are prowling the recruiting trail for similar skills.

The triple option still works wonders for underdogs...

Throw in 61-58 in 2014 that cost TCU a national title and that Baylor-TCU rivalry is something else. State of Texas is rivalry heaven with Texas-A&M, Baylor-TCU, & Houston-SMU. Deepest state for strong programs.

It shouldn't though, as Notre Dame showed vs Navy yesterday, they obliterated the Navy option.

You just have to actually practice for it, which a lot of teams don't seem to do.
