It came to pass . . . and then what came next?

This post is in response to the following article from ESPN: Schools turning to technology for recruiting edge

One thing I love about college football is that it is not just about athletic ability; you have to be smart and creative to have a successful program. When LaVell Edwards took over BYU's football program in the 1970s, he inherited a program that had never been successful on the college football stage. Just 12 years later, Edwards led his team to an undefeated season and a national championship. Edward's success came from his creativity and ability to adapt to new situations and new schemes for recruiting and playing. College football is again going through a revolution. This revolution is not the switch to the passing game that LaVell led so long ago, but rather to the use and reliance on technology. Those who lead out with new innovative technologies will find themselves ahead as college football continues to change.
