SI article about the Option (and CPJ)

Awesome read, and it links to another great article on SmartFootball, complete with videos of some of our successful plays from last year and how they worked. Definitely needed this, I can't get the game off the brain.
 
"The Jackets have that speed"


Do they mean "THAT" speed?

Uh oh, our opponents are in trouble!
 
Is "that" > "SEC" ? I do not believe so, as nothing is faster than SEC speed -- (except for Terrelle Pryor Speed, of course). Always get confused by these speed terminologies.
 
Elvis would be alive today if he had stuck to normal amphetamines. But oh no, he had to try some of that SEC speed....
 
I say we stop getting high off of any praises we get and just focus...
 
He reads the unblocked defensive tackle to determine whether he should hand the ball to bowling ball-shaped B-back Jonathan Dwyer. The unblocked Bulldog stays home. Nesbitt fakes the handoff and sprints right. Dwyer is tackled by two defenders.

I thought the QB only reads the DT on the midline. On a TO, doesn't he read the DE?

I agree, but it's really up to the players and coaches to do that... not much stingtalkers can do on gameday but cheer!

Well, since there's little time between games, they probably will focus. Seems like they lost that before the LSU game.

Florida, winner of two of the past three national titles, uses several option principles, but the offense Gators coach Urban Meyer runs bears little resemblance to the one Johnson honed at Division I-AA power Georgia Southern and at Navy, where the service academy's size limits and strict academic requirements forced him to use a scheme that levels the playing field for less athletic teams.

Fail.

PJ likes to say that Urban Meyer runs the same thing we do, only out of a gun.

I've heard Urban Meyer say the same thing.

The article was a cool read...but I think I'll still take Urban and Paul as the authorities on what their offenses are/aren't.
 
Meyer's and Johnson's offenses are fundamentally the same. Just watch some UF highlights, and you will see a lot of the same things GT runs.
