5 minutes ... that ought to do it.

This past summer, North Carolina spent about five minutes of each practice preparing for the spread-option offense. Linebacker Kevin Reddick said it helped, and UNC is ready for it.

“I feel like this is one of the harder offenses we’ll face this year,” he said. “I feel like we’re ready. The intensity in practice is way up. Just knowing what we have ahead of us, the guys already know what type of game it’s going to be, so we’re up for the challenge and ready to roll.”

You are getting dangerously close...

That's what she said?

In all seriousness though. UNC must be a pretty sweet place to go to school if 5 minutes a week is good study. They are still not gonna pass the exam.

What exactly were you expecting? They have 11 other damn games on their schedule. Were you expecting them to dedicate half their total practice time to it?

I think he is just making a joke, but yeah UNC might be the best D we play all year. I still hope we torch them especially off turnovers from their O!

If I'm understanding it correctly the meaning is they've had at least a week to prepare specifically for US, and they've spent a grand total of 5 minutes of that time practicing against our offense. Or rather, the triple option play that so many people associate with it. You don't think they could have found five more minutes somewhere?

It barely makes sense to practice against it at all if you're only going to run the play like four times. Unless they meant 5 minutes of game-time with somebody standing there holding a clock on each play, in which case they still only saw it like 10 times (unless our offense got alot of first downs to stop the clock in which case they REALLY needed to run it more). It just doesn't seem like there's any way that was enough practice.

EDIT: I am wrong, after re-reading, it is about the summer. I thought it was about this weeks preparations. Reading comprehension fail, ban, etc.

5 times 12 equals 60 minutes. Since they must have practiced for over 1 hour, that means they spent proportionately less time preparing for us than the rest of the schedule.

Most of the practice is not about defending a specific offensive scheme, but about how to beat blocks, cover, get off line, etc. Not to mention some 7on7.
