"I think this fad has led to schools that have great talent anyway kind of taking a semi easy-way out to win games."
OSU I am not quite sure how this would be taking the easy way out. The point of the game is to win. That is kind of like saying we can use a calculator to figure out a complex math problem, but that is the easy way out. We should just use pencil and paper like our forefathers did and never progress.

I think the problem with the spread in the SEC is you have to have a talented tough quarterback to run it. The reason it will never be used in the NFL is because no one wants to see there talented franchise quarterback get hurt running the ball.
It works better in college because..
A) The quarterback doesn't have to be an NFL quality passer because he's not going up against NFL quality defenses.
B) It's not as huge of a deal if your starting quarterback gets hurt because you've only invested four years in him in college, where as the pros, your investing a decade in him.
Guys that are as tough as a runner as Tebow is and talented enough as a QB as Tebow is don't come along that often. Sooner or later your gonna get a QB hurt running the spread the way Florida does.
And although Bama hasn't played Florida that often, I think what hurt us more than the spread when playing Florida and Utah was the hurry up offense.
