Actually, the option was used by very few teams by the late eighties and early nineties. Ut played in a pro-style multiple offense, not much different than the one they are playing in today. They ran the ball well and threw it downfield even better. See Chuck Webb, Reggie Cobb, Tony Thompson, Charlie Garner, Carl Pickens, Alvin Harper, Anthony Morgan, Anthony Miller
No, the spread isn't the king. It is a fad used by some younger coaches. People are figuring it out. The very best teams don't use it and won't use it and know how to defend it.
Damn good post. That's what I tell my friends. The spread option is just a fad, and pretty soon the pro-style offense and ground game will be king again.
