Scoring will explode this year


Sep 2, 2018, 12:07 AM

So the unintended consequence of the amended redshirt rule will be more lopsided scores each week.

The new redshirt rule change allows a player to still be eligible for a redshirt as long as they play no more than four games in that season.

Teams will now continue to run their offense even against outmatched opponents whereas in the past those teams would call more conservative games to run out the clock.

Coaches will sub in their true freshmen and get them real game situations and plays against “live bullets.”

As those freshmen (and true sophomores) get more practices, live in the gym/film room, and learn the playbook we will just see the scores get even worse- week 1 will be nothing compared to what is coming.

Another factor that will contribute to this increased scoring as well will be the likelyhood that these teams will be healthier and the players will be more motivated to make the most of the snaps they will now have less of.

So your "Motivated Freshman" theory means offensive skill players have more effect on game scores than defensive stars.

Personally, i think they do, too. Defensive effectiveness relies on overall team skill more than individual. The defense that got massacred in the Orange Bowl had 3 NFL players who underperformed while teamed up with a bunch of FCS-level talent under mediocre leadership.

So the proof of your theory would come when scores drop in October?

Or do you opine that coaches will play their redshirtable studs 1-2 games, then put those players in their hip pocket until needed further?
