I like the idea of power football, because of contrary theory. If the other 11 teams are running the spread, defences will be geared to to stop the spread and I want to run the ball. If the other 11 teams were running the option, I would want to be in the spread for the same reason.
By the way, I'm vacationing in Michael Bishop's home town. No real point to that story, just thought I would mention it. Word is that his parents have a car thats all EMAWed up. I'll see if I can't find it.
