I hate the Big 12

Throw a dumpoff pass, break a poor tackle attempt, and it’s all awesome cause omg big 12 offensive skills.

And Musburger is totally faking his excited voice.

Both are annoying

SEC teams are too busy trying to lay out the other guy that they miss the tackle, Big 12 just doesn’t like to tackle. The only real difference is that Big 12 throws the ball more.

This is very true

And I still believe a smart defensive coach like Saban could dominate in the Big 12.

define "tackle"

if you mean “hurl your body towards the legs of the man with the ball”, then yes, they “tackle”…
