beanman Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 man, I miss the option... Agree. Fun to watch. Can you imagine the 2014 blackshirts trying to stop that sh#t? It'd be ugly. I wish we were running it... I do too. But it won't happen so stop torturing yourself. A guy can hope... Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 guess I'm gonna have a couple handfuls of sh#t... 1 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Would love to see us use it as our base with a few wrinkles. Would like to have seen another year or two with Frank to see the possible evolutions. Knowing it's coming and you can't stop it. Miss St. looked like they wanted to be anywhere, but on the receiving end of that option attack. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 That QB made plays that very few are capable of. He is special and fits that offense. Really no different than saying, Peyton Manning can do it, so we should run that offense. That QB made plays that very few are capable of. He is special and fits that offense. Really no different than saying, Peyton Manning can do it, so we should run that offense. He was incredibly quick. Dare I say Martinez quick as he hit the seem. Looked to easily be the fastest guy on the field..... Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 From 2010-2013 GT went 6-7, 8-5, 7-7, 7-6. That's not winning alot of games every year. Doubt he would've even made it to this year had he done that here. Quote Link to comment
You Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 man, I miss the option... Agree. Fun to watch. Can you imagine the 2014 blackshirts trying to stop that sh#t? It'd be ugly. I wish we were running it... Me too, but I wouldn't want to run that kind of offense with the defense we have. Our defense would have to be a little bit better for me to feel comfortable running the triple option. Quote Link to comment

I think his point is that between years 3 and 6 he lost 25 games in a 4 year period. Without looking at how they were lost, that alone is 9 more than Pelini levels. It's a lot. The option style and head coach remained in tact during that time and no one was firing shots at how great it was. They bounced back this past season and took it to an SEC team that wasn't your typical Alabama/LSU yearly powerhouse. It was an option team that came out of a long funk and beat an SEC representative on a night that was on TV. Most games GT plays, no one is really watching or paying attention. Just my interpretation Quote Link to comment

Well, if Riley's offense is a SW/TB clone, at least I have hockey... Quote Link to comment

Pro style does not mean West Coast. And Beck's offense was "...And the kitchen sink" though how much of that was Pelini we won't know until Beck calls his own games somewhere else for a few years.

Riley was 46-42 in the same time frame, .522 winning percentage. Give me Paul Johnson and the triple option. 1 Quote Link to comment
