[NU Sports] The curse of the spread offense

[Roy Lamberton]

When we first ran the spread, you'll remember that we did it no huddle, at a
breakneck pace that kept the big 10 monsters off guard. But they've adjusted and
RW [and his assistants] decided that the pace was killing a defense that was on
the field about 3/4 of the game.

Maureen is right, however, the Big 10 now throws a lot more. Give the credit to
RW and Tiller for doing that...
