[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 105424, member: 265"] Just one thing: If I'm not mistaken, spread option teams don't run triple options very often at all. Most of their options are double options reading an unblocked DE. If he comes in, give the ball off to the RB. If he doesn't take it and run yourself. The outside stuff is usually a double option too, very like the speed option we run. Further, there's no midline option game in these Os. A true trip like we run some of the time is rare; you have to shift a WR to the backfield in motion, then read the DE (again) to determine if the RB gets it or you toss to the WR or keep. You can run toss sweeps that way too. It's a lot simpler game for QBs, iow, which explains why high schools are so apt to run it. (Those more knowledgable can correct this, of course.) None of this is very good prep for a team that is running our O at ramming speed. As others above have said, the plays take a lot longer to develop. I like our chances to be able to run on these people. We did it last year; we'll do it this year. The game is on the Ds shoulders, imho. [/QUOTE]
