BYU was doing that to teams that they "should" beat anyway

Don't you think that Taysom and Williams running the option would have been more effective than whatever Air Force/Navy were running?

Comment made by Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo made me wonder.

I think Ty's offense will work great once the O-Line recruiting kicks in and he has the personnel to run it.

We are all waiting and hoping for the o-line recruiting

And we get some WR's who can make cuts and get open. Bronco went all in getting

I liked the fact that we were in position to win every game this year. Next

My high school coach used to say the Wing-T option is the equalizer

didn't work too well for Lehi HS

Yep in 2003 they had crazy good qb, receiver, TE, big line and ran the wrong

Wing T is a great HS offense

Tremendous pain when you haven't faced it before

WestLakes Sophomores tis year ran it as 7th,8th, and Freshman and DESTROYED

Coach Ken makes a good point. Certainly for the academies and possibly

TheLoneCougar

12/8/16 12:14pm

It would work at BYU, too

reddead

12/8/16 10:18pm

You think? The only issue that I could imagine is that BYU gets athletes that

TheLoneCougar

12/9/16 8:49am

My first thought is he's posturing for a different job

TheUfan

12/8/16 12:24pm

Ken just signed a new contract after his BYU interview. I don't think he is

TheLoneCougar

12/8/16 12:29pm

Wasn't he rumored to be in the running for a P5 coaching job?

I heard very small rumors about the Oregon job.

TheLoneCougar

12/8/16 12:55pm

GT has also has been to two NY6/BCS under Johnson and won one of them

Mark320

12/8/16 12:39pm

Even more impressive!

TheLoneCougar

12/8/16 12:55pm

Yeah, winning is sooooo boring.

CougarThug

12/8/16 12:32pm

I'd take 10-2 and "boring" every time.

Mark320

12/8/16 12:36pm

I'd rather be 8-4 with our current schedule than 10-2 with our MWC schedules.

(Private)

12/8/16 2:43pm

To clarify, yes, I'd rather be 10-2 with a "boring" offense with the kind of

Mark320

12/8/16 2:53pm

and I rather win by 9 instead of 2.....yeah right

BYU Grounds

12/8/16 3:09pm

From a SOS perspective, we've been playing MWC schedules. The lone exception is-

icecougar

12/9/16 1:56am

This year's schedule was awesome compared to MWC schedules. Not our fault

(Private)

12/10/16 11:16am

I have never found the option to be boring to watch. I actually like it.

Bgash

12/8/16 12:36pm

Agreed. May be a bit weird, but definitely not boring.

TheLoneCougar

12/8/16 12:56pm

I agree. I just don't think it would be remotely effective at BYU

cajuncoug

12/8/16 1:35pm

Little variety is what is boring.

NacoCoug

12/8/16 9:57pm

Me too. Navy is one of my favorite teams, in large part because of their scheme

reddead

12/8/16 10:19pm

You say that Georgia Tech has been average at best since Paul Johnson took over

12/8/16 4:25pm

The big thing we as BYU fans have to understand is the glory of the 1980's is

Mark320

12/8/16 12:58pm

not sure this is true. this passing attack isn't meant to "fool anyone"

MormonThug

12/8/16 1:47pm

It may be well suited for BYU when we play against G5 teams and some lower level

Mark320

12/8/16 2:22pm

True. BYU got the pass attack going strong in the mid-70's with Gifford...

k2coug

12/8/16 4:54pm

Good point, I agree. Likely a better system for what we can recruit.

Harrison0Yfan

12/8/16 1:30pm

I think Ken N. is on to something. This is what Vanderbilt should be running

jbcoug

12/8/16 1:40pm

Yeah I'd lump Vandy with BYU, Stanford, ND in regards to recruiting culture.

Mark320

12/8/16 1:47pm

Look at what a coach like Bronco can do to option offenses. You don't think

MormonThug

12/8/16 1:50pm

GT has done pretty well with some divisional titles and a NY6 victory to show

Mark320

BYU was doing that to teams that they "should" beat anyway

Georgia Tech 31 Virginia 17. He really showed them huh? Ga Tech has academic

CarolinaCoug

12/9/16 9:01am

It starts on the O-line. BYU needs to get a Stanford-type O-line to be successfu

12/8/16 2:47pm

Idk about OP & discontent re Ty's O. OL is key, & qb w great accuracy &

MatthiasG

12/8/16 3:00pm

the problem is that the pro style isn't like that. the pro style says, "we're better than you and we're going to prove

macaroni

12/8/16 3:05pm

Isn't it sort of both?

Bgash

12/8/16 3:19pm

No, I don't think so.

12/8/16 4:59pm

Very interesting breakdown of offenses, thanks.

Harrison0Yfan

12/8/16 6:02pm

The triple option is the original first generation spread.

jrj84105

12/8/16 4:18pm

Two things on this

ALC

12/8/16 5:40pm

We don't like the offense now because it doesn't match our personnel. Bad WR&QB

IronPotato

12/8/16 6:59pm

Except we haven't really seen the "pro style" O yet.
