    The PAC has always been a pro style offensive league. They have Oregon and Rich Rod run the spread which are gimmicks, but that's the league historically that NFL teams go to for quarterbacks in a pro style system. LSU, UGA, and Bama continue to do just the same given where the coaching trees of Les, Richt, and Nick stem from and now Bielema as well at Arky. We'll likely see McElwain also do the same in Florida. Historically the PAC produces very good QBs, RBs, and WRs that translate well to the pros due to the systems the league runs. The SEC usually is seen as a bad QB league with nothing but great defense and field goals that just runs and doesn't pass the ball. That's changing as is the entire landscape of college football given the proliferation of the spread in high school offenses and in CFB as well.

    The problem the PAC usually has is the depth on the defensive lines throughout the league. Hence SEC teams which are loaded along the DL and often the OL can wear those teams out. LSU has had trouble with Oregon State in Death Valley and then Washington and Arizona State on the road in the past decade but in each case wore those pro style teams down and took the games.

    Every conference is now changing though because the SEC has a ton of gimmick offenses when you look at Sumlin, Freeze, Malzahn, Moo U with Mullen and going back to Urban and Nutt..

    Every conference is littered with a variety of different offensive styles now. The SEC gimmicky offenses though have a ton of talent along the OL and DL though so Gus and Freeze can go run heavy with the spread and not just be a track team on turf like Oregon for example is..

    Chavis' defenses have always been small, fast, and very athletic which is why we have throttled aTm under Sumlin. He doesn't rely on the run and wearing teams down. He's much more Oregon in the SEC in College Station. Teams like Arkansas and Alabama are big plodding run teams usually and so they wore Chavis down. Gus and Dan both ran heavily on LSU, even though they were spread offenses wore LSU down. Dak Prescott ran the ball 22 times and Jonathan Robinson ran for 200 yards on LSU last year for example. Chavis struggled against the spread teams that are run-heavy with big guys up front.

    So Chavis is a good coordinator, but he'll have his struggles. He also benefits from having two terrors at pass rushers on the edge in Myles Garrett and Daeshon Hall. Those guys are monsters on the edge that Chavis hasn't had since Mingo and Sonic Sam as a tandem.

    Excellent analysis of the Third and Chavis Syndrome. I'm anxious to see how Steele and Orgeron's bigger LB's and DL's play in the end game stages of close SEC games.

    Every time I think of Milwaukee it makes me think of either Laverne and Shirley or Jeffrey Dahmer.

    I thought Dahmer was in the Pacific Northwest. Or was that Bundy.

    Was Bundy. And Gary Ridgeway, the Green River Killer. Dahmer worked in a chocolate factory in Milwaukee.

    Other shows set in Milwaukee were Happy Days and That 70's Show. Mork from Ork made his first appearance on Happy Days when he froze the Fonz with his finger but spinoff Mork and Mindy was set in Boulder, CO

    I remember Gary Ridgeway, I can still see his face. And BTK was from Kansas I think, and Pogo was from Chicago maybe? And then who was the Texas guy who claimed to kill all those people. Damn I can't remember his name.

    From John Chavis to serial killers. Nice transition.

    Never heard of Pogo but John Wayne Gacy was from Chicago. Texas guy was Henry Lucas. One time I was riding with a friend in Seabrook, TX where he lived. He pointed to a dilapidated old boathouse and said that's where Dean Coryl and Elmer Wayne Henley had dumped their 27 victims. Weird
