i see what you mean. yeah, i agree that White was the first to bring a reliable (and lethal i might add) running threat to the QB position within the emerging spread offense, thus bringing out of retirement the forgotten triple option.here's a question to you and anyone else. i'm wondering if you have the same recollection as i do. it seems to me that i began hearing the "spread offense" as it related to Tiller's passing attack at Purdue and other schools (e.g. Hawaii, Nortwestern, and Ohio Valley mid majors). initially, i assumed it meant that offenses were spreading defenses out by virtue of employing 3+ WRs on every down. it seems to me though that guys like Rodriguez later added the component of wider splits between offensive linemen that eventually opened up the increasingly clogged running lanes. first of all, do you know if this is even true? and is this your recollection as well?i just seem to remember the term "spread offense" initially referring to teams who aired it out every down whereas now the term "spread offense" seems to have attached itself to predominately running offenses (WVU, Navy, Clemson).
