Tennessee to the triple option!

[GrizzlyVol]

I've always enjoyed watching the triple option and I've always wanted to see a team with alittle higher talent level run it, but I don't think I'd want to see us running it

 

[SayNoToJorts]

Check out the Jackets' last game vs Kirby and then tell me how that garbage offense works against top defenses. Triple option belongs in a museum

 

[Matt2496]

Never quit posting OD. I always need a good laugh every now and then.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Our big, nasty returning offensive live is perfect for some triple option. I'm in.

 

[utvolpj]

Probably been mentioned but the triple option is easily defeated by having all d-linemen at least a yard off the LOS. Football 101

 

[BearCat204]

Who the **** are these people

 

[Otis07]

why not the single wing then?????our offense already sticks outloud

 

[FlyFishnVol]

Tennessee would be wise to consider the triple option

This is one of the most idiotic suggestion known to UT Football, this is why GT is not in the SEC.........one is awhile they get a team that scares other DIV I teams.............but to suggest UT insert the Triple Option...........this is a pure example of how you 'can't fix stupid"

 

[pismonque]

I want the Quadruple Option.

 

[FLVOL_79]

For the triple option to even work don't you need a QB who is walking around with concrete shoes on?

 

[utvolpj]

this is why GT is not in the SEC

No they're not in the sec because a long time ago they got upset people took their football more seriously than school. They were charter members but chose to leave

 

[Bennessee01]

The triple option, with this OL, sounds like a plan. Is Tommy Frazier in the house?

 

[Armorvol]

Tennessee would be wise to consider the triple option

You have to be able to block the line of scrimmage and have a mobile quarterback....duh!

 

[photovol]

Would be the true death of our program

How much more dead can you get when you lose 5 out of 7 to Vanderbilt, that's what I thought

 

[Waxhaw Vol]

We should put in the "statue of liberty" play as well

 

[RDU VOL#14]

No it wouldn't...Oklahoma and Alabama and Texas and Nebraska all won national titles using the triple option or wishbone...Alabama won like 4 or 5 of them using it...If it is run right it is almost unstoppable...Not quite as a exciting as seeing a 5 wide set but it gets the job done...Top RB's would flock to UT to play in it because they would be getting the ball all the time or at least a good amount of the time...I personally love that offense as I am old school...I really like it more than the crap offense we are trying to run now for sure...but to each their own.

What years did those teams win the national title running the triple option? I think Nebraska was the last one that has won one during my lifetime. I’m 36.

Maybe Notre Dame In 88.

We would be destroyed in recruiting. When is the last time GT had a big time draft pick?

 

[livefaith]

Tennseee already runs the triple option - Handoff for a loss, get sacked, or throw an incomplete.

Wrong. That's not an option. It's a static process. :-D

 

[volfanjustin]

Yup. Basically, we'd be the Georgia Tech of the SEC...no thanks.

While there is no way I would want to go to that offense, being GA Tech of the SEC would be an upgrade from where we are now

 

[Waxhaw Vol]

While there is no way I would want to go to that offense, being GA Tech of the SEC would be an upgrade from where we are now

We're not even GA Tech of the ACC

 

[ATLVols]

A true triple option would be the worst decision we could make. You can actually run option concepts with the spread and technically, RPOs (Run Pass Options) are often “triple option”.

But we don’t want the Paul Johnson style Wing-T triple option.

 

[savannahfan]

Tennessee would be wise to consider the triple option

BS like this makes me remember the single wing..... In the "modern" game it would not work partly because the guys with experience were not out there. Defenses are for the most part just too good (players) to win game in game out with what are now considered "gimmick" offenses.

 

[savannahfan]

Hell let's go back to the single wing. Our opponents will never see it coming

I guess you meant "blue font"

 

[savannahfan]

It worked pretty well for Nebraska in the 90's. They sure took some of UT's most talented teams to the woodshed running that "gimmicky high school offense" that can't attract recruits.

Those teams could have won with any kind of offense.

 

[tbh]

True...I'm thinking in terms of ceiling though...but I totally agree.

 

[FlyFishnVol]

No they're not in the sec because a long time ago they got upset people took their football more seriously than school. They were charter members but chose to leave

Not is the SEC now..............better? I am sure they are second guessing that decision.
