[QUOTE="nodawgs, post: 47432, member: 51"] Conventional wisdom used to be to slow play the option, which is how teams used to play us and did play the wishbone. DLine played laterally with a read and react scheme. After getting eaten up by the flexbone doing this, defenses have started attacking, and taking us out of rythymn. Randy Shannon is a perfect example. We drilled them when they slow played us in 08. They came out and attacked us and lived in our backfield in '09. Mickey Andrews tried to slow play the option old school style and we ate him up. Same with Willie Martinez. Syracuse tried to slow play us this year and we had our best game of the season. I just don't think CPJ has a good answer for teams that attack his offense. Yeah we can bust one here and there, but if a team is in our backfield early, it's going to be that way for the rest of the game. [/QUOTE]
