I forgot Air Force was in the SEC. I think you did this on purpose: you know what someone means, but you try to make it sound like you know something. But you don't. An option offense playing 8 games in the SEC every season hasn't been done in a long time.

For our sake, I'm glad we don't play option teams 8 times, because it sure didn't look like we had an answer for Air Force or made any adjustments during the course of the game.

Air Force gave us enough trouble with a basic option. Urban's style will be different. With the talent Florida has a receiver, you can bet that you will see more misdirection plays and passing than you will see fullback dives.

I always thought the greatest asset of the option was unfamiliarity?

If we did play 8 teams that used the option as their base offense then would we really struggle?

If you know you're schedule is 66% option teams. I'm pretty sure the defensive coaches would come up with a game plan and work on it religiously during practice.

When you play one team that flashes the option and you just throw something in practice for one week. I'm not saying Tennessee would be the best defense of an option but with a majority of practice time towards defending it and players becoming more and more familiar with it.

I would say no Tennessee would have no problem defending the option if they had 8 teams on the schedule that ran it. Unless Al Bundy was at Tailback and put down a 4 TD performance like he did at Polk High.

I dont think Ive ever seen Tennessee stop the option in my life. I still wake up in cold sweat after nightmares of David Palmer.

Thank goodness he wasn't running that two point conversion with Air Force. :ermm:

Wouldn't have mattered, that play wasn't an option and there about five Vols in position to make the tackle. Xavier Mitchell gets a lot of credit for that play, but if he had missed the tackled, Ryan Karl would still have made it. I think we had a safety in the area, as well.

I do not claim to be an expert, but my sense is that some of you are talking about the 'option' and you mean different things. The Air Force option is pure run option. Florida' spread option is a different animal altogether. The traditional option is 80 percent a choice between a qb keep, a sweep to the back, or a handoff off tackle. The spread option, however, offers many other choices involving passes and even half back passes.

you are definitely right in saying that florida's option and air force's are completely different

The "traditional option" you refer to is more commonly called the triple option which means the qb can keep the ball, hand off or pitch to a trailing running back or pass the ball usually while rolling out one way or the other.

I've always thought that "Option" referred to a running play where the QB had the option of keeping or pitching while the "Triple option" was always a running play and referred to an option with 3 reads by the QB on the same running play (FB dive, QB keep, Pitch). The difference between the two being that the triple option always starts with the QB putting the ball in the RB's belly first.

I don't think passing enters into the equation. There are Run/Pass options where the QB sprints out with the option to take off or throw it, but that's not really what I'd call "The Option". They do that in just about every offense.

That brings back bad memories of the Orange Bowl against Nebraska.

I guess we're both right. Depends on if the triple option is run from a veer or wishbone formation.

Using your logic, a win is a win is a win, no matter how ugly. Are you ready to take back your comments about Stoops' defense not impressing you? I mean, his D was good enough to beat us twice.

Hey, you should probably be the leading supporter of Urban Meyer and his offense. Considering all he did was win an SEC and national championship, I would think you would be the first to pour cold water on any post that says that Meyer's offense won't work in the SEC...

As we get closer to that Florida game, my blog will have a huge project that will display specifically which UT players will be key against a spread option.

The triple option, btw, is more of a stretch option, if the QB doesn't give the ball to the first option. The spread option gets up field much quicker than the triple.
