I agree with Cauchmar. There's a catch-22..if a major D1 school USES a triple option offense, they'll lost recruits. The Triple option didn't prevent Nebraska from getting talent in the 90s, though.
I love watching unique offensive styles. I'm from Hawaii, so I love the Run N Shoot. I like watching the triple option and how it confuses other teams.
True but this defense will always b tough to stop when you think about it especially when they use a base alignment like the flexbone the offensive players do this week in week out summer spring drills all that is all around the option attack and unless it's a season opener or u go into early summer drills like Georgia did they can still just outplay you for the fact they been doing this longer and a week of prep for defense usually isn't enough
Now, that being said, when the academies use it, if the defense they face has elite athletes and is well-coached, this offense will die. I saw Navy run over ND last year because the ND defensive staff was lost, failed to adjust to Navy tweaking its offense, and conseqeuntly the players were lost. But against Army, ND adjusted after Army's first drive, and didn't give up another first down for 2+ quarters. But with elite athletes running it? Would be tough to stop.
@cauchamar Dude, thats a bold statement. I like the Triple Option but its a pain-in-the-ass to master and it isnt ran by elite teams because elite teams would stuff it.
As hard as it is to master, teams do master it eventually; but opponents who have one week to prepare for it never master defending it. I don't think elite teams would stuff it if it were run with elite athletes. I really don't. The whole point of the option is that it makes up for huge talent disparities. So imagine if the talent is equal and the opponent isn't familiar with defending it (as no one but the academies ever is). It slows opponents down. It makes them think. It de-elites them.
@cauchamar Dude, if you ran that with a Top-Tier team against a top-tier team it wouldnt be as effective as you think. I think the two best playbooks and formations are the triple-option wingback and The Spread. Both opposite extremes.
Because they don't feel (probably correctly) that they could recruit elite athletes if they ran it. Back in the day, and as recently as Osborne's later Nebraska teams, it was still possible to do so. But today's Tommie Fraziers and Eric Crouch's don't want to have great college careers and win a lot but have no shot at the NFL. Top athletes want to be pro-ready RBs and WRs. Top QBs want to throw. But IF. If you could do it, it would work. Google 1995 Nebraska.
@TheSunPeeledDown that's awesome. i would enjoy watcing our high school team a lot more if we ran that type of offense. ah, but we run the spread like so many other schools. i just don't like the spread
The play at 1:40 out of the flex is just bad defense. Other than that though, very nice execution. My favorite part about this though was how they came back to the FB towards the strong side and took advantage of how early the defense was reaction to the motion.
@norsemustang alot of coachs especially in college, cater towards boosters because they don't to lose funding and boosters want to see the spread and scoring, alot of fans in general don't like the pace of the triple option. in high school alot of schools aren't smart enough to run it and in the nfl most teams have great athletes but i totally agree with you, I love the triple option i wish it was used alot more
@mcrdexfan im a high school coach in chihuahua mexico and we are the only team in the state that runs the option, we play a 10 season game and our FB ran 1,014 yds(the midline works a lot), HB 949 yds and our QB 982 yds (He completed 4/6 for 48 yds in all season)
@RIP2zone VERY impressive statistics and they highlight what i love about the option, you dont need a quarterback who can throw or even great running backs or a line, you just need to be able to instile the basic triple option concepts and it will work
Georgia Tech's head coach came from Navy, who brought it back to national prominence. The Triple Option is, in a word, awesome. Its only weakness? It requires total selflessness from the players. Good luck in this culture, eh?
@maybrook1 Georgia Tech runs the triple option the best out of any college football team. Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of Air Force because they're right down the street from my house, but Georgia Tech runs the best triple option.
What the hell was the Free Safety doing?? If he runs the alley, the play is stopped for no gain!

If an elite team ever ran this, and kept getting enough elite recruits, it would never lose.
