SLU Triple Option?

[cajun_lannister]

........remember that the option offense necessitates assignment defense with particular defensive positions responsible for certain parts of the option scheme.....if these assignments are missed, dive, keep, and pitch results in big time success....like T-Bine mentioned, glad we got them with some video and practice time!!!

They will run a 2 qb system so that tells me all the QB will do is key off on playside DE

Our defense will need all of 2 possessions to figure out and shut down SLU. Not worried about them in the least. This will be a lopsided victory and we still won't know what kind of team we have. Tulsa will be the measuring stick.

We fare better against the run than the pass. QBs that can stand in the pocket and sling it have picked us apart in the past (at least last season.) See Idaho, Boise, App State games vs. G. Southern and TU. I'd take an option team out the gate over a pro style.

Did you watch the Ga So game last year? If you did you would know they did not run their typical tripple option, as they did in previous years under Fritz. They were using their 3rd team QB due to injury. Fritz had not been able to recruit the atheletes he needs to run the option in just one year, so neither of those are good examples. SLU has a 4.3 speed QB very suited for that O. You are also referencing last years D which had very good linebacker play to stop the run. LB is a huge ? mark on this D. This year our DBs will be the strong point so you'd think pass D will be better. Pass D is more about the rush that it is about coverage. You can not cover a receiver for ever. If D line play is not good they can run option or pass it don't matter we'll be in trouble either way.

We're not a classic triple option team like you see at Navy/Air Force/Army etc. We run a spread offense with a downhill style running attack, with some triple option principles mixed in. We threw it about 25 times per game last year.

So a Spread Option Offenses unless the QB lines up under center

We run some spread option, but we're more diverse than that. I don't think we've lined up under center since 2013, maybe a few times in 2014.

running a 2 QB system you will prolly see a simplfied verson of that for the first few games

Thanks our coach called it a triple option in his press confrence so I thought a la Army Navy.

Ga State lost to FCS Tenn State last night. It's not that uncommon for this sort of thing to happen. UL better be ready to play four full quarters of inspired football against SLU.
