The Big Ten’s westward expansion could challenge the league’s reputation for smashmouth football. No Power Five conference relies more on defense and the running game than the Big Ten.
Granted, most of the schools leaving the Pac-12 will have different quarterbacks by the time they enter the Big Ten. Yet these schools still should provide a change of pace from typical Big Ten football because their styles are more in line with nationwide trends prioritizing offense.
Scott noted the four schools making the move also might have to adapt to the more run-oriented Big Ten, for years the league known for “three yards and a cloud of dust” on offense. Harrell doesn’t expect many schools to alter their approaches solely because of conference realignment.
