Remember that time we ran that play that scored a touchdown?

That was awesome.

I think the triple option is more effective when the QB and AB run their fakes at full speed. When the QB slows down and looks back at the play to the BB, it allows the secondary to converge on the BB instead of letting him get to the second level.

I would rather see the fake option get to the outside quickly and the QB to even fake a pitch.

If our opponent's defense is reduced to a guessing game, that's when we typically burn them for a TD.

Oh, how I long for those days to return.

Are you talking about a straight option play with the ab coming around the edge and the q.b. not faking it to the bb? Sounds interesting. But faking the bb is what usually pulls the defense inside, to open the outside. It would be easier to read two options than three. But as far as speed to the edge, makes sense.

Yes. If you go back and watch the film again, you'll see the QB and the AB both slow down to a trot and look back at the BB. If they had carried their fake to the outside at full speed, they could have taken a corner, a LB, and maybe even a safety with them.

Agree that this would be cool to see. Take this FWIW - in NCAA video game, Navy offense had a play called the "speed option" where playside AB and QB would go immediately to full speed. It's effectively an outside double option but as DCSS pointed out, it takes away a cheating secondary or linebacker(s).

You remember this?

Just did some watching of old games and it appears that Paul Johnson doesn't use a play sheet when he calls plays. Anyone notice this?

Would be awesome if one time he just straight up trolled the announcers by carrying a Waffle House menu out onto the field, and referring to it before calling plays.
