Maybe people don't think Kelly will be able to run a no huddle spread option offense in the pros.

Kelly's style of offense doesn't work well when going against a highly paid professional players.  Just look at how Oregon has done when playing $EC teams...

That's exactly right.  The spread offense relies on using your skill players in space against slower defenders on the opposing side.  In the NFL, that doesn't really work because the defenses are filled with speed.

If Oregon does match up against Alabama in the title game, I will probably be in the minority here in that I will pull for Alabama.  I think no-huddle, spread offenses are gimmicky.  You are taking advantage of the inability of the defense to get in substitutions.  I have a lot more appreciation for teams that play football the way I believe it was meant to be played.
