I said that in many of my posts. What would you know about REAL SPREAD OPTION TEAMS? - DUH!

what would you know about college football? You didn't actually go to a real college but a cow-tipping school.

We are NOT a spread option offense. Repeating a lie often doesn't make it true.

We are a spread option QB is just under center. PJ has said many times that is only difference. You are soooo smart. LOL

When Paul Jonson installed the scheme at GSC in 1985, *(he called it the Spread Option,) with the QB under center, full back, 2 slots, 2 wide outs.
The idea being, unlike the compacted wishbone with 3 backs behind the QB. The 2 slots SPREAD the defense and was better for passing when needed for play action & a run and shoot package. When PJ returned to GSU everyone still called it the Spread Option.

If you look what PJ still runs the term that other coaches call it now is the *(Flex Option.)*

GSU now runs the *(Pistol Option)* where the QB is not under center & some call the Pistol a spread option.

So if you'ed like I'll call it the *Flex for you since you didn't know PJs history at GSC back in 1985 and if you look it up it is now known as the Flex Option.

Hows that, Rainbow Bright.
 
Rainbow, you keep on seeking Van & my attention with your ignorant posts.
You get put in your place, but you still come back for more.

What you are doing in this post is placing your own (psychological projection) on VAN.
Before we discuss this post anymore I'll let you look up the underlined meaning of the words above.

I look at football perhaps a little differently than this. There are two paths to the top. You can increase your investment in the portions of your game plan and program that statistically result in expected wins, things like recruiting and building depth and balanced play calling and versatile defense, then you can grind our your 9-11 expected wins per year once you're in the top flight of teams and wait for the magic to happen. Alternatively, you can win any individual game, even in the face of unreasonable disparity, by leveraging risky play and lining that up with good team chemistry. Teams almost universally punch above their weight with the second path, and move up in punching weight with the first.

I'm a fan of the option because it is on the second path. I don't want to wait decades to watch my team punch out the top of the bracket with recruiting and building the machine, because we might not ever be able to build it fast enough here to get there before the other guys build a bigger better machine. I do want to build it, and I'm ecstatic that we are doing that, but while we wait for the results, I want to go into every game knowing that there's a chance we will make huge plays and take down anyone. We've seen some top 5 and top 10 kills under CPJ that demonstrate it beautifully.

I was a fan of Roof's 2014 defense for the same reason. Towards the end of the season, it was opportunistic as hell. "The pick" is exactly the kind of play that negates the statistical advantage of the machine. "Cole Stoudt" is exactly the kind of thing a fan will be cheering every time his undermanned team is clowning a powerhouse. Unfortunately Roof lost the magic. Hopefully CNW can bring it back.

I think the bad seasons are not really indicative of a problem of the same nature as everyone likes to diagnose. Most of the time it's not "the O sucks" or "the D sucks" or even "we suck" as much as it is we took some risky shots and they didn't work out. Even last season we had wide open receivers ready for TDs and just couldn't connect to them. Even in our 3-9 season we beat undefeated contender FSU, the last hope of the ACC. And when we did it, it was 100% with havoc.

I think CPJ's system is very sound outside the havoc it creates, but it generates four or five risky plays per game that could each result in points, everything else notwithstanding. If we hit on them and play an otherwise decent game, it doesn't really matter who is lined up across from us, they are going to struggle. A defense that could match that could actually propel us to a championship if the ball bounced right. There are a lot of programs currently in our recruiting and budget caste of CFB that don't have a snowballs chance in hell of that, and we do.

When CPJ eventually retires and when someday tech abandons the option, this era will be looked back on in puzzlement. It'll be called zany and inconsistent and fluky, but really it's all a function of this. We really are taking shots at championships, and serious ones. You've just got to do it this way when you're where we are.

A better QB would be better, a better defense would be better, a better kicker would allow me to sleep at night. And CPJ isn't the only coach who can take risks and make things happen. Brohm out at Purdue is a good example of a guy doing the same thing a different way. You're going to see them look a lot like we have, record and surprise wise, if they can keep him that long. Mike Leach, too.

So I don't really care too much what the system is, as long as it's like that, and those three guys aren't the only ones doing this. It's just gotta roll the dice with a lot on the table to win it all, because the house belongs to someone else right now. I don't particularly care who the man at the helm is, as long as he's willing to double down and go for glory. I'm interested in watching exciting football and dreaming big, and not just about the distant future.
