Even a school like Georgia I believe they were like 45% pass and 55% run and that's with a walk-on QB essentially. The significance there to me is if this was 1996 they would probably be more like 40% pass and 60% run or even 35/65.

The game and the thought process of coaches has been slowly shifting to where the only teams that are truly run heavy are the service academies and most teams are now pretty balanced. Other than the service academies the vast majority of the other "run heavy" teams are at like 39% pass and 61% run.

In the NFL the run pass ratio is 55% and 45% run and this year there were only 6 teams that fell below 50% and four of those 6 were at 48% or better. I think as you see more NFL coaches come to the SEC and college you are going to continue to see a gradual shift towards passing. The best thing I liked about hiring Leach is he showed that we could pass the ball here. If nothing else.
