Good article on containing the triple-option offense

Relates to Clemson when they go up against Georgia Tech, but Paul Johnson's triple-option attack and Troy Calhoun's are similar. I am almost through with it and feel a lot more educated about this once well-known, now somewhat unique offense.

I can't believe how negative this post is Doogie.

KIDDING.

Keep up the good work.

"-Get the LBs into the running lanes: The DTs cannot be knocked backwards and the LBs must fill the lanes and be free to move."

The Linebackers and Defensive Tackles appear to be the strength of the Gopher Defense, so I hope this is true.

QB will be the issue with the DE's needing to contain him. Should be fun to watch.

Good article. It all starts with blowing up the dive play. After that, it's all about discipline and using the sideline.

Reading that article reminds me how much I love the option.
