This new style of college football---where the QB stops before the play and looks at the sideline---
and looks for a play call.

Last night was annoying as shit because of it----both teams were guilty but OU took it to a whole new level. The whole offense would look over pretty much on every play.

Too me, it ruined the flow of the game.... plus: I think it actually hurt them because Florida would have time to get set.

I hope this isn't the new way for teams to call plays.

1. Naw, that's a legit style of play imo...
but what I could not stand was formation that looked like a pass and then having the quarterback run it again and again.

You know, the xbox style of play.

Tebow bless the Gators.

2. New style? Where have you been.....
since about 1995. Spurrier started that when Wuerfful was QB. About 1/3 of all college teams check with the sideline before running the play.

5. The Illini do this all the time. Drives me crazy. I wonder if defenses can "decipher"
the play calling from the sidelines after a while.

6. I assumed it originated in the Big 12 South
Since it was all over the place that month ABC was running Big 12 South games every Saturday night.
