Take A Look At The Best Football Programs

Take a look at the best college football programs in the country right now. Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma, Wisconsin...each of these programs has a similar offensive philosophy. They play with a tight end and a fullback and will line up and come at you with a strong power running game. While they do incorporate the use of the shotgun or some spread offense concepts, their offensive schemes rely primarily on a power running game which utilizes a tight end (or tight ends) and a fullback. Among the current AP Top 10, only Oklahoma State, Clemson, and Oregon are truly spread teams. Arkansas is more a of a hybrid utilizing spread principles but doing so with a TE and a FB with emphasis on the run game. Even Boise State, from which you will see almost anything, plays primarily with the TE and the FB on the field.

However, the Badgers were very effective against Nebraska in a 48-17 victory earlier this season. Wisconsin racked up 231 rushing yards, led by Monte Ball's 30-carry, 151-yard performance. Currently ranked seventh in the country in rushing yards per game, Wisconsin relies heavily on a power running game. I believe we will begin to see teams get back to a style of offense that is similar to that of teams like the Badgers and Stanford, Oklahoma, etc. While these teams emphasize the power runs,The referee along with his two linesmen is the one who enforces most of the rules in football. The referee's tasks include keeping the time for the match in play, awarding free kicks and penalties when needed and dealing with anything requiring a ruling. The referee can also choose to allow play to proceed in case of a foul providing there is an advantage to be gained by the team which the foul has been committed on.

This is because when that team's bye week comes around you don't want to not have a team to play your opponent. Also, you do not want to have to drop big players on your team to pick up mediocre ones to sub in for those starters on their bye weeks. The next thing you need to do before you draft is to do some research on players and compile a list of the top ten players you want. This way no matter your pick in the draft you will at least know what your first pick is.On the other side of the spectrum of this do not disregard picking a player because they play for a team you hate, yeah it will not be fun to have to root for them in certain situations however, if for example you are a Chicago Bears fan and you have a chance at Aaron Rodgers you do not want to pass him up because he will consistently score you 30 points.
