FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) Kliff Kingsbury did more than just draw a line around the fertile high school football fields of Texas when he called out Arkansas coach Bret Bielema last month.
The Texas Tech coach also fired a shot heard across the country by noting that Arkansas had lost consecutive games to teams using a spread offense after Bielema allegedly favored pro offenses over the spread during a summer convention.
It was a flashpoint in what has become nothing short of philosophical battleground over the evolution of offense in college football.
It's difficult to watch high school football and not buy into Kingsbury's assertion that 90 percent of Texas high schools - and far beyond - use some form of spread offense every week.
