So where has the idea gone????????????????????????
*Johnson wanted a passing attack added to the Flex Option ground attack.
The idea was to mesh the most potent ground attack, the T-Option, with at the time in the 80’s, was the RUN & SHOOT which would be added to base passing attack.
Background - Flex option & Passing attack.
In 1985 Johnson became Erk's Offensive Coordinator. The Flex option system and formation were installed as GSUs base offense. One of the selling points to ERK was its passing potential. The formation itself is basically a passing formation adapted to run the triple option, with A back motion, and supplemental running plays. PJ also had his basic T-Option passing attack along with a RUN & SHOOT passing attack.
RUN & SHOOT passing attack adapted to Spread Option.
Like the T-Option the RUN & SHOOT, is a flexible passing offense that adjusts "on the fly," as the receivers are free to adjust their routes as they are running them in response to the defensive coverage employed. The QB, also has to read and react to the defense's coverages in passing as he does in the t-option read.
The RUN & SHOOT was USED.
In 1984, 85 & 86, Tracy Ham was GSC’s QB that had the ability not only to run/ read the t-option, but a RUN & SHOOT passing attack along with the Flex’s standard passing routs.
***Recognition also goes to GSCs A, B, slots, wideout and LINE MEN, who meshed together and gave Tracy, the QB, the targets & protection he needed to execute the RUN & SHOOT and standard passing
EXAMPLE - RUN & SHOOT passing attack used in GSC’s 1985 NC. Victory.
*Go 4:00 min. into the 8 min. video. Furman 28 – GSC 6 in the middle of 3rd quarter. GSC’s defense holds, RUN & SHOOT surprises, and GSC drops 40 points on Furman to win the NC.
