Re: Teams That Run The Option
So, are we talking about the Wishbone, the Oregon Veer, the Delaware Wing T, or just running a lead option and/or speed option (with or without the pulling guard). I've known even West Coast teams run lead (or a G) option or a speed option as just a play within the regular offense. Does that count as "running the option," or does one have to have option as the basis of the offense?

Most triple-option teams run the flexbone. I think some teams may run it out of multi-back pistol sets (a trend started by Sam Houston in 2011). I believe Air Force used to run it out of more conventional formations (I-Form, etc.), but I'm not sure they still do.

Re: RE: Re: Teams That Run The Option
I thought Air Force used a version of the flexbone too? Chip Kelly ran TO plays out of a 2 back set at Oregon. Not sure if it was before Sam Houston.Mvemjsunpx wrote:Does anybody run the wishbone anymore?SuperHornet wrote:So, are we talking about the Wishbone, the Oregon Veer, the Delaware Wing T, or just running a lead option and/or speed option (with or without the pulling guard).

Re: RE: Re: Teams That Run The Option
I think AFA does now, but I'm not sure they did when Fisher DeBerry was there (1984-06). This video (from 2009) shows them running a TO play out of a 2-WR Maryland-I of all things:UNI88 wrote:I thought Air Force used a version of the flexbone too?

As for Chip Kelly… perhaps the most clever/oddball offensive scheme I've seen was the one he ran at UNH where half the plays were based off the Statue of Liberty Play.

Re: Teams That Run The Option
Montana Sate runs the triple option the best of any school I have ever seen.

Air Force has a tendency to use varied sets, but their bread and butter is the flexbone just like everybody else
We have occasionally showed a wishbone formation but that is just a stunt to mess with opposing DCs- just like Air Force with the 3-back I formation
BTW has anybody mentioned Kennesaw State yet? They were the best option team in FCS last year

Re: Teams That Run The Option
Delaware's offense has been optional for the past eight seasons. So has the defense sometimes.

Re: Teams That Run The Option
We are the best at everything... But last year we did run the Wishbone/Flexbone ( did both at different times) quit a bit because our starting QB was suppose to be our starting LB... He ended up being All-Big SkyCID1990 wrote:This must be sarcasmSACCAT wrote:Montana Sate runs the triple option the best of any school I have ever seen.

Re: Teams That Run The Option
Just looked up the Flexbone. I hadn't seen it before. It's basically the old Double Wing Formation. So someone running the Flexbone is essentially using Wishbone principles instead of Single/Double Wing principles out of the same formation. Interesting....

Yes, it is simply a Wishbone with the halfbacks split out inside the TEs. It give the strong side runners a head start on the corner of the formation and allows for less motion predictability.
But in simplest terms, it is still the wishbone and the QB still has 3 running/pitching options.

Cats ran this play a lot throughout the season.... Sure not a true triple Option, more of a Zone readCID1990 wrote:Flexbone...

Re: Teams That Run The Option
Looks quite similar to the offense my juco offensive coordinator (later my HS head coach; which is odd given that he played for our cross-town rivals and supposedly burned his HS letter jacket in front of the team to "prove" his loyalty to the program) invented, which pretty much guaranteed that the defense was wrong. He would shift between this and the traditional wishbone, usually running out of the 'Bone and passing out of this, with a "usual" quarterback assigned to each. But they couldn't exactly key on THAT, either, because both QBs ran plays out of both sets. We may have run some option out of this Double Wing set, but we usually passed out of it. We probably had some short passes out of the 'Bone, too.CID1990 wrote:Flexbone... Broken Bone .... whatever the nameSuperHornet wrote:Just looked up the Flexbone. I hadn't seen it before.

I was stuck upstairs filming practice and games because our dumb AD forgot to inform me of the deadline for physicals that year and refused to let me go outside the school to get it done. What a jerk. Anyways, we won a bowl game that season, and I still wear the ring occasionally (on my pinky because I still have to get the stinking thing resized).
