Flex Bone at Tech in 1999

[Coloradojacket]

Some people believe that under CRF we did not run the option or the flex bone. Well looky here.

Yeah, Fridge liked the trip. We ran it a lot in 1990, especially what he called the "freeze option". That's what we call a counter option, but run out of the I. Shawn Jones was really good at it.

I wanted us to go to it all the time, but with Hamiliton and Godsey and, especially, the unreal WRs we had in those days, that wouldn't have made much sense.

Watching that game just took me back to my sophomore year in college.

Dez White lined up as an A back in the wishbone running a post pattern. Good times!

Great to see Greg Gathers play again. One of the best DT's I've ever seen play for the White and Gold. And Nick Rodgers was a heckuva LB.

If only Peter Warrick had shoplifted at Dillard's before this game instead of a few weeks later, maybe Tech would have won.

We ran it and fridge will tell u he loved the options out of it so much he stole it from paul. Ask him.

Loved that O. Probably helped to have Joe running it but damn it was all over the place.

For those that love passing offenses and love the option, CRF's offense was a joy to watch. Man, he could light up that scoreboard.

In 1996, Tech and O'Leary and got an nasty lesson in facing the slotbone/Hambone offense when Navy came to town and defeated Tech 36-26. (I was there for it.) Navy's offensive coordinator was in his second year at Annapolis, having come from Hawaii. Yep, Paul Johnson. Navy went 9-3 that season. And afterwards, Paul Johnson was then off to Statesboro for his first head coaching gig.

That was the only game I've ever attended in Tallahassee. Joe was brilliant. So was Peter Warrick.

That 99 team with 2 stud DTs could have beaten anyone in the country and might have won em all. Some things never change. (No disrespect intended to the guys at DT, they gave their all)

We had Gathers at DT in '99.
On a side note, I attended my first and only game in Tally exactly 10 yrs later. Different outcome.
