[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 56662, member: 195"] I think 2014 will be a lot like 2008. [U]Return of the Midline Lead Option[/U]: I expect to see a lot more midline lead intermixed with triple option. Maybe my memory is faulty, but I don't think we ran as much midline with Tevin (though we used it well in 2011 vs Clemson). I noticed that we did run it some in the Spring game this year. The midline option is basically a double option where the QB will give to the B-Back on a dive straight up the middle (the center has to get his guy out of the way) unless the play-side DT moves to tackle the B-Back in which case the QB keeps and loops through the b-gap vacated by the DT crashing down. The "lead" refers to the A-back in motion cutting up through the b-gap as a lead blocker for the QB. This is what it looked like in 2010 vs VA when Joshua kept it: [MEDIA=youtube]6cBErjFKUbI[/MEDIA] This is what it looked like when he handed it off to Ant: [MEDIA=youtube]s3R4KRFOp84[/MEDIA] [U]Other stuff:[/U] Our Spring game also featured a few other QB keepers designed to get the QB into space. I also expect us to run more Speed Option to Laskey (just a hunch). I think Laskey and Thomas will each have over a thousand yards rushing in 2014. [/QUOTE]
