Vuren Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 yeah...i thought it was a dead type of football... Quote Link to comment
MCAT800 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 The only people that thought the option was dead was the BC supporters but they have suddenly morphed into BC haters or have disappeared. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I personally don't want to see it here again, but that has always been my feeling on it. I like the spread offense. I HATE the WCO.............. Quote Link to comment
Redman Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Option? Nobody runs the option anymore. Quote Link to comment
gratefulhusker Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Remember that our defense isn't the best at determining what offense works and what doesn't. I think that a good High School football team would test them right now. Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Option dead? No. But an older style offense based on the option isn't going to win you championships. Now, if you want to talk about a more modern spread option winning championships, you'd be able to make a good case. Quote Link to comment

I HATE the WCO.............. The option is run by teams that can't recruit talent, ie service academy's, if you have the prestige to recruit some talent the the option is unstopable, and can lead to some high scoring teams Quote Link to comment

Husker_x Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I cannot stand that drivel. You know, those self-righteous football pricks who after wiping their asses with silk deign to look down and you and spew that line. "The ahp-sion is entirely inconceivable, good sir. Noooo, I think we ought rrrun the sprrread." Any system can work, including the WCO. I LIKE the option for the reasons I've stated a hundred times. Ball control; progressive in-game effectiveness; gameplan of attrition. It has its drawbacks, there is no doubt, and mandates a very, very solid defense which can prevent quick strikes and big leads. However, as you all witnessed today, apparently there is life in the old boy yet! X Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Yeah, cuz A&M beating Nebraska this year with that type of option proves a lot. Oh wait...it just proves Nebraska sucks. Quote Link to comment

I HATE the WCO.............. Most spreads in college run the option There is a difference between just a plain option and one that has been changed to include more passing. The option we used to run was not good, but that could have been the coach as well. (Solich) Quote Link to comment
