Will we see as many 2yd runs up the middle with GFGH this year?

It is a read option offense

Exactly. You MUST force the defense to defend the middle run.

Also in most option offenses the QB

If runs up the middle are getting stuffed, aren't they defending the middle run?

Not sure about that - we ran the read-option in HS

So your saying BYU gonna do what BYU gonna do and it’s up to you to stop us...

So it goes...

You seem to be describing classical triple option.

The principle is the same

A couple of points.

Very true

Our problems last year had very little to do with offense (other than the Stew

There were diminishing returns with the Taysom dominated offense

not really true at all

the problem is antsy feet

No doubt Taysom made big improvements last year in passing. he needs

Why does a 235 lb qb have antsy feet? Can that be fixed?

Run-DMT

8/2/15 8:59pm

Because he runs a 4.6 and he believes he can take it to the house on every play

You forgot the defense had to take the field.

GA_Coug

we weren't talking about the defense.

cougarmanguy

You had a two game offensive nadir last year

TH is so physically talented

GA_Coug

66.7% is a low completion percentage?

Your memory on 'incessantly running it up the middle' is faulty ... go check the

that's what I told him

ChinaFan

I think don't want Indy to actually research that... I remember some 2 yard runs

ChinaFan

You have to hurry as soon as possible to get to the quick kick!

No, but just as many fans will complain about it.
