Ok, I'm all onboard the throw shade at App train, and I do my fair share of it.....however this was a damn impressive accomplishment, and SB Nation has done a big feature on all of 2007 as that was truly a turning point in all of college football. This game was one of the first events of a crazy year, and App fans rightly should be proud of it.

We do have a habit of derailing threads (and some deserve it) but I think this is one that should be left alone.

I do think it's interesting that App kind of led the way in the offensive evolution of what we see today. Oregon was maybe a bit more ahead of the curve (because Chip Kelly) and it showed just how far in how they just hammered Michigan the next week following the App formula. However, the offense they run today is much more grounded in extremely old school concepts than in the modern spread. App was hard to contain from 2005-2007 (although somewhat good years, 2008-2009 were not as good as the previous 3 years) with an extremely dynamic offense. Even what Satterfield tried to start with after taking over as HC resembled more of an Air Raid attack than the spread he used previously at App and FIU. I'm still confused by that.
