Two Plays From Last Night's Oregon Game Show You What Football Will Look Like In The Future

The New England Patriots are spearheading a philosophical shift in NFL offenses by using elements of the fast-paced no-huddle popularized by Oregon and coach Chip Kelley in the last few years.

They're running more plays, faster, and it's only a matter of time before it spreads throughout the entire league.

But to a college football fan, what the Pats run is so 2009. While Oregon still sticks to those same fast-paced principles, they've invented a host of new packages and incorporated a bunch of goofy plays that make the 2012 Pats look like the 1955 Packers by comparison.

Just take a look at these two plays from Oregon's 43-21 win over Arizona State last night.

After Oregon scored their first touchdown, this is how they lined up for the extra point. They line up like this on every extra point. If they don't like what they see, they audible and just kick it. But if something is open, they go for two.
