Why do QBs struggle to transition from cfb to nfl?

1. The wide side of the field in the nfl isn't as wide as the cfb wide side

2. Result is that cfb passes are much more horizontal in nature than nfl passes

3. 30% of plays in cfb are rpo's. But nfl is much lower. Why? Because nfl only allows ol to go 1 years downfield. Cfb allows 3 yds downfield.

4. Nfl runs 32% of plays under center (uc). Cfb? Only 5%
