[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 438119, member: 2175"] Well, one caution about this offense, and what Navy did to counter its effects: your A backs may be your best athletes, but in a true option and with the position used to run in plays, your best athlete may get five touches a game. Navy decided that was dumb, and they moved their best A back to QB and their offense took off ... much the same as GT's with lots and lots of QB keepers and kind of boring, but effective. A hard fact, but there it is. Outside of a couple of called plays for the A backs -- Orwin Smith's unchallenged rocket toss for instance, a play we have not been able to duplicate since, and I don't know why because for the life of me, Orwin Smith did not look that fast. He just was on that play. In other words, putting all the weapons on the field means leaving most of them shooting blanks. [/QUOTE]
