Just run the ball. It don't cost you anything. And it still wins games. That is what is amazing.

 

Yes, just running the ball can work as long as you are up on the score board. The problem occurs when a team has to make a come back. How do running teams come back late in the game? It is hard if the team has not practiced the passing game. Just ask Bowling Green in the state finals last year.

Having ran the spread, versus not or just from witnessing it being ran is irrelevant. It doesnt take a genious to watch two teams in a game, one haveing somebody like LexCath's former QB Justin Burke play a team w/ a much lesser QB and be able to tell why one team is better looking at the spread than the other.

 

LexCath is throwing the ball with a lot of success this year and Justin Burke is not the QB.

Going way out on a limb with that statement.

 

Clearly, anytime the ball is going to be passed, the better the QB, the better the pass. That's a given. However, if the spread offense is installed, repped, etc. properly, a less than stellar QB can be efficient in the offense if he is 1) coachable, 2) above average intelligence, and 3) a good leader and decision-maker. Arm strength/athleticism are way down the list.

David was average in size, strength, etc. What he did do was to play as he was coached. That's why he and O'Cath were successful. My point is, the qb in this type of system doesn't have to be superhuman, an average quarterback with average receivers and runningbacks behind an average line can run this offense and be successful.

 

I thought Woodward did a great job for Catholic all year. The Championship game was probably his worst performance. Anyway you are right an average QB that got better because he did what he was suppose to do.
