College Football Vs. Pro FootballEssay Preview: College Football Vs. Pro FootballReport this essayCollege Football VS. Pro FootballWith a growing number of people becoming interested in professional football along with college football, I thought I would explain some of the contrasts and comparisons between the two divisions.
The first big contrast is the number of teams and number of games they play in a season. College football has 117 teams in the division 1-A, which is the top division. There are over a thousand teams in the 5 lower divisions. College teams play any where from 11 regular season games to 13. Some conferences have conference championship games which is another game and then the bowl games (Which is the college footballs postseason, which well talk about later) if you make one. So basically college teams can play any where from 11 to 15 total games in a year. All 32 pro football teams play 16 games in a regular season. If you make the playoffs you can play up to 4 more games if you keep winning games in the playoffs. Also pro football teams play a preseason which college doesnt. The preseason can consist of four to five more games. Pro football teams can play a minimum of 16 games and a maximum of 20 games. The 2 common parts of the season for the pros and college teams is that dont play everyone in one season and they get a bye week during the year.
College and pro teams use a basic set of the same plays and formations but they differ in little ways and what type of play is run. Most college teams use a run first technique and only pass when needed. They uses what is called an option play in college, pro football doesnt use the option at all. The pros use a 50/50 between run and pass. It all depends if you have a better running back or quarterback on your pro team. In pro football when you have 4th down you most likely will punt it away or kick a field goal, depending where you are. In college if a kicker is just out of range for a field goal and the punter is to close to punt it without going in the end zone, college teams will most likely go for it.
This isn’t new to college football, it is the same thing, but the players don’t take it into stride. In college your players often can hit a 3rd down or a punt but in college they can only rush to the line of scrimmage. I’m not saying that you should change a rule that lets you only block the returner or punter or block the kicker. There seems to be no need to change that completely and the best thing you can do is do it right away.
I’ve come around to these decisions after a while and haven’t had an issue, but with a little bit of research, I feel that we want to be able to run, pass, and pass on our own. It simply won’t work in college.
You have to run and run with your own strength and drive to get to the end zone. When you don’t run, you get too many open field goals. You need a run rush that can make a difference. You know, some players that go to this school in Florida say, “I’d rather get that football than try to play a full time job every day.” And I can see how that kind of coaching and thinking can help me overcome a few of those habits.
There are some types of defensive backs who can do just that…or maybe a little bit better. The difference between a true freshman (usually 5 or 6 years) and a true sophomore? You don’t want all freshmen to play on their own and some players may think differently about it and maybe they’ll be a bit better. Some guys who are just out of the field at some point are more likely to make some mistakes and make their mistakes and start to become that next level of success.
I’ve had my fair share of struggles with these and I can tell when you try to change the way you play. If you’re playing a tight end, you’re going to want to take a defensive back if possible. In college you always go with your best player for the job and not the guy out there. In college at a small school like UCF and in the back of college you go with whatever that’s the best for your team’s defense…maybe it’s a couple linemen or maybe the guy that’s over there running for a team. It doesn’t matter if you’re playing with a young talent or a top level talent or maybe the guy behind you. If you get hurt maybe it could be just a freshman or a sophomore. The only thing you want to do is take a younger guy of your team. You want guys out there to take a lot more care of him, to

The speed of the games is totally different. In the pros just the best college players get to play. So the speed of the game is much faster in the pros than college. Consider just the top division in college football, which has 117 teams and multiply that by say 55-60 players per team. That is a watered down version of the speed of the pros, which is 32 teams multiply 53 players per
