Why show anything in preseason? They have plenty of opportunities in practice to prepare. They actually get more reps in Otas mini camp and training camp than they do in the preseason.
Agree with premise, however, nothing is quite like gameday. Andrenaline, Effort, and Energy are all amped. Players tire without the ramp up to 4 qtrs. Can't be replicated if you ask me. Aside from that, think that the NCAA has shown time and time again that coming into gameday without pre-season reps is unpredictable and sloppy. As far as showing your gameplan, that's a fair argument, however, in this day and age nobody would believe your showing anything even if you were. It's "vanilla". The additional problem is that players union is ruining practice. There's only so much you can do anymore. I can't pretend it's going to change, but I think we'd benefit if it did.
