I wouldn’t run the option like the academies don’t think anyone thinks that. I wouldn’t even run like Osborn did with almost a 3rd of the offense being the option. I would run the option a little more like solich as a speed option but I would only run it 10-15% of the time. I think rhule had a nice balance of when he uses it. Run it just enough to make teams have to prepare for it and run it just well enough we can even run it to the short side of the field. I would still revolve my offense around the power running game, and I would make up the difference of running the option less by passing more than we did back in the day and I would sprinkle in some trick plays. Until we get better in the passing game we will have to run it more. We don’t have to be an option team to have it be part of our identity, but I was reading an article it was talking about the old school is the now new school. A lot of the coaches and teams don’t even know how to prepare for the option as well as they use to and it was very difficult even when we did run it all the time and they would prepare for it every year they had to play us. Plus kids these days aren’t as disciplined as they were 30 years ago. Not advocating we should do what we did 30 years ago but it could be a part of what we do, but we will see what Rhule does with it. Right now it looks like it’s what’s working. We have basically a walk on backup qb, our top two running backs out, young wr and no downfield threat and a very shaky offensive line especially on the left side yet he is still managing to put out on the field a reasonable offense. Running the option has been a big part of that far under HH it has been our best play, I’m actually pretty impressed with what Rhule is doing considering what he has to work with. There’s a lot of potential here and we can certainly build on it
