[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 254642, member: 2957"] This what Lou Holtz had to say about the Triple Option and it's weakness in recruiting: "All of a sudden, you couldn't get the dominant quarterback because you weren't going to throw the football and get him ready for the NFL," Holtz said. "You couldn't get the dominant left tackle, because you weren't going to teach him to pass-block. You couldn't get the dominant running back, because he wasn't going to be featured enough. "Now, you can still win with the option even if you don't get those people, but if you're not getting those top recruits, the alumni start to think you're losing and you're not exciting enough," Holtz said. Sound familiar? Interestingly, I was looking at Willie Fritz from his time at Georgia Southern and his point was that he won 91% of his games when he got 1 more yard rushing than his opponent. Running well yourself and shutting down the run were critical. The TO struggles without a D. [/QUOTE]
