College football is another story. Defense in college is becoming a joke. There are always going to be college games that are more lopsided where the better team runs up a big score, but now it is not uncommon for two good teams to play each other and both score in the high 40's or 50's.
I don't think it is out of control, just think some of the ticky tack stuff could go away. Sometimes the pass interference and/or defensive holding seems a little over the top. Offense generates excitement for the great bulk of fans, and especially for new fans they are trying to attract. It's just the way it works.
