I am wondering if you folks expect our new offence to incorporate the option, and if so, how often?
I would love to see Kodi Burns running the option with any of our current three running backs this year, and in the future, I would love to see him run it with
Eric Smith, Rodney Scott, and Phillip Pierre Louis (I know he isn't a traditional running back, but his vision and cut-back skills seemed perfect for the
option). Watching the high school highlight tapes of those three got my imagination going!
p.s. thanks for welcomin me ya bunch of crazies

Not only do I think we'll see some option, don't be surprised to see a little wishbone from time to time. CTF has hinted at this, and has stated we
will definitely not be an overly pass happy Texas Tech type team, or all run like WVU. I truly believe this will be a new evolution in offense, and will be
something for fans of all philosophies to enjoy. WDE TPT

I think we'll see it, just not very often. I don't think it'll be a staple.

Welcome to the board and post loud and often.
P.S. I wasn't jumping on your idea about tate at fullback I just think Tate projects as a very good RB. I expect he will suprise you guys this season with 12-15 TD's. Tate is proably my favorite RB. I think he has an NFL future. I also think that Tate is the most underatted player in the entire SEC. 903 yards vs 8-9 men in the box isn't bad IMO. |

some option would be good but I dont expect it to be a staple of our offense. I am looking for wrinkles like the Tebow jump pass in short yardage situation s
that are innovative and unexpected.

CTF is the master of the spread. I am sure he can run anything from that scheme. We have very smart players that should have no problem learning everything CTF
throws at them. Wooo-hoooo!!!!!

definately going to see alot of defenses saying "WHAT THE F**K" after they get totally gassed trying to chase down all our team speed that will be
scattered all across the field, then we bring on the power (that also just happens to have some speed also). ben tate wreaked havok, as has been mentioned,
against stacked defenses that were not completely exhausted. now, they have to go more one on one against him after chasing guys like lester, davis,
slaughter, dunn, billings, swinton, carr, some dude named fannin and burns. that is a lot to ask a defense to do. he is going to have a breakout season, and
IMHO, finish as a serious Heisman candidate. so i am on the Tate for Heisman bandwaggon.

I agree that Tate is a monster at tailback! I put him at fullback because I was referring to the wishbone formation, and I couldn't think of anyone else who would play there with carl stewart gone. Besides, fullbacks can still run the ball, and even catch some balls out of the backfield. Another thing, when it comes to the option, I feel that Lester (maybe fannin) have better vision and cut-back skills than Tate, which are key in running the option. I think Tate might be better out of the I-formation where he can get his momentum going north and south. |

If the spread does what it should and we blow everyone away, some people may start thinking that when CT retires, CF would be a good replacemnet.
