Randy Edsall Says WVU's 108 Plays Not Good for College Football

West Virginia not only had 108 plays but ran 43 more plays than Maryland.

In addition to just being difficult to defend, I believe Edsall is trying to stave off recruiting advantages WVU has over Maryland when it comes to attracting players on offense.

Others, like the SEC when Mizzou & aTm joined, are finding out just how explosive Big 12 offenses are.

Whiner. Adapt or die.

Whe-hell....he'll fit riiight in in the big 10.



*edit: Just for clarification...he'll fit in both for the losing, and for the whining about getting away from 'traditional' football.

What's not good for college football is the garbage defense teams like Maryland play. Really coach? 108 plays are too many? How bout playing defense and forcing a punt?

The B1G is what's not good for college football.

Who in the Big Ten has complained about tempo?

Well, just after he left the big 10, but Beilema did. More of a tongue in cheek statement about their boring brand of football.

B-O-O-H-O-O. Don't like it? Try getting a stop on defense.

Maybe you should develop some depth, and be a bit more liberal with your substitutions, Randy.

They may be right if he is speaking about continual blows to the head. Idk if that is what he is speaking to however. The lineman get hit every play. 108 plays is quite a few. IDK if I agree that its 'bad' for the game, but its a concern they should probably look in to.

Even if they averaged 110 plays per game, which they won't, players take far more hits in practice. I'd guess he's not willing to reduce contact in practices. He just doesn't want to have to adapt to the new style of football.
