Why dont we run the TRIPLE OPTION?

[BULLZ]

Honestly we have an extremely athletic qb in Flowers, an extremely athletic set of rbs (Mack and D'Ernest), 

 

A year and a half ago when GEOGIA SOUTHERN beat Florida they didnt complete ONE PASS (WHICH IS WHAT OUR OFFENSE LOOKS LIKE) but they beat Florida 26-20. I feel if we implemented some of their offense we could at least put points on the board right away. 

 

What do you think? Sounds practical and like it could work here and work well

I remember commenting on this when I saw Ga Tech battle FSU. With Flowers, Mack, Johnson and Swanson we'd have the skills I would think.

Tech has 20 running backs on their roster .... we have 7.

You need coaches and players that know how to run it. The triple option done poorly is a fiasco of fumbles and stuffed runs.

It's hard to recruit Florida for an offensive line required to run the triple option.  Taggart has been trying to recruit those offensive lineman for the last two years (for his run heavy scheme) and it just hasn't happened. You can run a WR at QB in the triple option, but it's all based off of 5 guys that can create great 'push'.

Heres the thing, what youre saying sounds right on paper but in reality you honestly think GEORGIA SOUTHERN a no name school had recruited better players for their line than FLORIDA?

Florida gets the best athletes in the country year in and year out. 

 

So no I dont buy that, POINT IS IF GEORGIA SOUTHERN CAN PUT TOGETHER THAT SYSTEM WE CAN TOO.

That was almost a year ago....... .....and besides im referencing the success had by georgia southern a school that gets no name recruits and their ability to run the system not Georgia Tech who can pull in top athletes. so its a different topic

Before you go all crazy caps on me, I'm trying to tell you that you aren't looking for the best athletes on the O-Line.  You are looking for 300+ lbs offensive line that can dominate the line of scrimmage.  In fact, they don't have to be quick and athletic, because they are literally just pushing forward.  Those offenses throw about 15 times a game, so they don't need the same pass protections skills.

 

Those offensive lineman, for one reason or another, generally reside north of florida or in the midwest region of the country.  You also would need to replace your entire offensive staff to the run that scheme.
