triple option teams?

[majent]

so as an old wishbone fan i am getting the itch to watch as much option football as possible, but not just the RPO, i am talking Triple Option football !!

other than Army, Navy and Air Force, what other FCS teams run the triple option as their base offense?

how about the FBS schools? maybe i can catch some of those guys on TV too

as always, thank you fellas for helping me out as i just don't have time to do the research anymore !!

Georgia Tech, Tulane (nuanced), New Mexico come to mind right away

I miss the Wishbone too, majent.

The service academies and G Tech have so much success with it I'm surprised more teams, especially perennial cellar dwellers don't use it.

And it's still the best looking formation.

Duke is notoriously strong against the option btw.

Citadel and Kennesaw St

YEs! new mexico under davie, i totally forgot

and of the course The Citadel out of south carolina runs it.

i wonder if Georgia Southern still does ??

 

[majent]

nice to see. cheers!

thought ga southern went back to it

Not sure what the Duke D will look like now, Cavs.

Their D-coordinator moved to Oklahoma State.

Georgia Southern went back to it (New Mexico’s former OC) and New Mexico won’t run it as their base anymore, they will run Rich Rodriguez’s offense. Tulane’s iteration is the most progressive and interesting to watch, IMO, and Navy’s may be the most exciting as they have the most dynamic athlete steering their ship, Malcolm Perry. South Alabama is a team that has tossed around the idea of implementing some more option this fall and I wouldn’t be surprised to see a team like Virginia to try and incorporate some more progressive option tenets with Perkins at QB.
