Very interesting. I love the lines: the option, particularly the triple, is a security blanket. It’s the great equalizer in college football which is why service academies love it. It may lower your ceiling as a program, but it dramatically raises your floor.
We've seen the impact of the offensive system change at Ga Tech. Schools with high academic requirements and/or little access to elite recruiting really should consider "zagging" and running something different. Spread option offense is one such example.
Trying to do the same thing as everyone else when you're outgunned is a recipe for frustration.
