Just heard an interview with that coach a few weeks ago- was never mentioned, so

It will only happen if the owner (NFL) or AD (college) tells the coach that...

How about this: 2 qbs on the field at the same time.

I’ve been saying this for a long time

Wouldn't two "double threats" be a quadruple threat?--But why limit the QB to

Goliath

Can’t 1 QB just turn his head?

ballen

11/23/17 10:29pm

He is also sprinting to that side, making him a running threat as well

Little Britches

11/23/17 11:09pm

Ok, that makes more sense. You could run swing passes that ghrn always have the

I'm sure there's reasons it hasn't been done. Probably won't work.

I'm sure Edison tried more then one option

I had this exact thought today after my hook and ladder worked to perfection!

Are you talking about the hook and ladder at Fire House subs?

Recruit BYU's entire rugby team

This has been a basic part of our Turkey Bowl offense for years. We scored on a

BeefNoodleSoup

This is the TYPE of thinking that will lead to success at BYU

CougarinOZ

11/24/17 6:45am

Ummmm...well, if we did we could call ourselves the BYU Globetrotters and the captains could perform at halftime...

Refugee

Ask Reggie Bush what he thinks of that idea

zerome4sooners

11/24/17 7:51am

Why not a wishbone option offense? It worked for years why would it not work now

4mack

11/24/17 8:28am

Faster, better athletes and coaches who can stop it

cajuncoug

Yep, now we are talking!

Next innovation: bring the cheerleaders into the game.

CharlottesvilleCoug

A&M beat you to the idea about 100 yrs ago

zerome4sooners

11/24/17 10:13am

How's that?

TailgateU

11/24/17 12:11pm

Well, I shouldn't say "cheerleaders", but fans. Thus the origin of "12th Man"

zerome4sooners

11/24/17 12:14pm

That tradition stems from E. King Gill, who was a former player but no longer on

TailgateU

11/24/17 12:28pm

Turnovers would go through the roof

Said the same thing about the forward pass: 3 things can happen, 2 are bad
