Re: Wonk-ish football question re: triple optionTalked to friend the other day, former football coach for a number of years in SWC. Really respect his opinion. He said that the proliferation of these spread offenses in high school football and then into college is partly the result of the summer football camps and the seven on seven drills that high school players are participating in. Those events allow them to hone the skills that they go into college with. Having said that, the various teams, pro and college that are using more and more of the Wildcat, Wildhorse type formations are really using essentially some of the single wing concept.
Re: Wonk-ish football question re: triple optionthe summer camps are the best thing that ever happened to Texas High School Football. There was a day when Texas didn't produce many top passing QBs. Texas did not allow more than 2 players from the same team to attend the same camp in Football or Basketball for years. Now there are usually at a minimum 20-25 QBs from Texas starting at Division 1A programs. Its a direct result of the skills refined at 7 on 7 camps.

Re: Wonk-ish football question re: triple optionno doubt about it - good observation Stallion
Re: Wonk-ish football question re: triple option
From the link Stallion posted regarding the game: "It’s not as if SMU was doing anything unusual to stop the Navy offense. As suspected, the whole 4-man front, same-schemes-as-last-year crap was a total smokescreen. SMU came out with a 5-man front. On the first drive, they even looked a little bit like Air Force. Scheme-wise, anyway. The safeties played in a cover 2, with the playside safety stepping up in run support. At first, the pitch key also stepped into the backfield to cover the pitch.""
Re: Wonk-ish football question re: triple optionthe five man front consisting of our 3-4 with the OLBs walked up?
Re: Wonk-ish football question re: triple option
we varied it a lot. some of the time we brought Youri Yenga and Patrick Fleming up to the line as additional DEs and then sometimes had Rock Dennis on the line too...inside LBs also on the line sometimes but often backed off with one blitzing
