You want to know why college football is better than pro football? I could probably go on for a few thousand words, but let’s keep things simple: watch Cal and Utah play football.
You couldn’t find a greater contrast of styles. Look at these extremes:
- Yards/play: Cal 7.4, Utah 4.6
- First downs: Utah 30, Cal 17 ; Total yards: Utah 442, Cal 362
- Time of possession: Utah 42:01, Cal 17:59
The first stat indicates a Cal blowout. The 2nd stat indicates a Utah blowout. The 3rd doesn’t have any correlation to winning or losing, but simply illustrates how very, very different these two teams like to play football.
