Not bad, may want to change one thing though. You stated "NU rarely ran a true triple option."

 

In fact Nebraska NEVER ran the triple option. In Nebraska's offense the fullback was never a QB option, any time the fullback touched the ball it was a designed play for him to do so. The only time a Nebraska QB had more than the pitch/keep option in the 90's was on an option pass play.

Well, I was going from the link below. Maybe I will change it to "rarely if ever". Many people think (wrongly) that the QB being able to keep the ball, pitch to a trailing back, or dropping back to throw is the triple option.

He's saying that what appeared to be a triple-option, that is, the quarterback had three options (fullback, himself or runningback getting the ball), that in fact the play was either already designed to go to the fullback (one option), or it was designed to be a double option with the quarterback and runningback.

Another way of looking at is the QB never read both the tackle AND the end.
