I think it has more to do with the simplicity. Even the most talent top programs only get a few hours a week a few weeks a year to install their offense. It is impossible to implement an offense as complicated as the NFL teams use.
That is why you get either the "spread option" or the "one-read-then-run" at almost every college. Even the teams that throw the ball almost every down don't use that many different plays.
Why does it not work in the NFL?
