I love this offense when it works it's literally unstoppable it can still work in today's football more teams need to use it I remember when Georgia Southern used it against Alabama yeah Nick Saban Alabama defense Georgia Southern rush for 315 yards in one game
Gumbel and Musberger both call the A back option pitch a “late pitch.” Is that something in the broadcaster style guide? They don’t really seem that late to me.
Send all the thanks to Georgia Southern University. We created this style of option football. We were the first college to run the option out of the Run & Shoot formation. BTW, we have 6 national championships (85,86,89,90,99 and 00) running this offense. GATA!
Our defensive coordinator left like a month before this game and we didn't have one at the time. You'd have to think we would've played better with a coach.
I realize this was posted 8 years ago but. at the 2:40 mark what happened there. Looks like it should have been a give? Backside DT looks like he had the FB though and Qb seemed to run backwards.
It's not a trap. You can tell by how the guard pulls. He skip pulls, instead of turning 90 degrees. He just got forced to block a guy behind the line, so it looked kind of similar to a trap. Also, ya, the QB is supposed to reverse pivot. It's supposed to look similar to the speed option play I think.
If they pull the playside guard to kick the first man outside the playside tackle, it's belly (or down, depending on which you prefer/which side it's going to/which back is getting the ball)
