Steve Spurrier used the Fun ‘n’ Gun offense to build Florida into a national power. Now, though, he says teams are going overboard in the passing game.
Spurrier said teams today often rely too much on passing during a podcast posted by the Florida athletic department.
Spurrier, who led the Gators from 1990-2001 and South Carolina from 2004-15, was asked what’s changed the most since the start of his coaching career. After mentioning the rise of the shotgun and spread formations and zone-read plays, Spurrier offered an opinion that might surprise more than a few SEC fans.
