I'd like to think that our players are plenty smart enough to be taught the option offense just as well as another player can be taught another offense.

It isn't exactly rocket science they are learning here.

The thing with the 3O is if someone blows their assignment by diving at ankles or some other ridiculous attempt at blocking, it is easy to blow up our plays. (Hell, any offense is easy to stop when that happens. ).

But in your example, if you put so much emphasis on taking away the dive, what are you going to do with the other two options? What about just a two step drop and a simple dump pass over your backs that are focusing on the dive? We used to rack up hundreds of yards rushing on teams who had that very same thought as you.

Now, if we could actually get back to engaging the defender and actually impeding his progression, like we used to in the years prior, we'll be like that well oiled machine we used to be.

I haven't had a chance to see all the plays this year, but with the few drives I have seen, it's the same bad technique we showed last year.
You are close . .nobody says we throw away the dive.What is clear is we are very hesitant with our wide stuff so it appears we are missing reads.will admit we are getting too complacent and need change when we play big uns..what is clear is this is a hard offense to follow when you don't run the offense in high school...the key is the read by QB plain and simple but certainly better blocking sure helps...
