Well said Brax. The read option does seem pretty over powered this year. I ran it a lot last year and it was required a lot more skill to run. It actually makes me wanna try switching to a pro style offense but I also enjoy running a teams real life style and Arizona is a spread heavy team. Rich Rod left me with some speed. One thing though is its not just read option. I think the D overall has been dumbed down. If you are great at running the short curl routes they are damn near unstoppable too. Slants, deep ins, deep outs, even just a basic I form power o run is tough to stop consistently if a guy runs it well. It seems like rather than just being able to sit in one defense and stop a guy you actually have to out guess them and I'm still struggling on deciding if its more or less realistic that way?
