You want to know what I miss more than anything watching these spring practice reports and portal shuffles? The option offense. I mean real option football. Not this RPO nonsense they run now where the quarterback reads one guy and throws a screen pass. I grew up watching the wishbone and the veer and I swear to you there was nothing prettier in college football than a perfectly executed triple option. You had a fullback who ran like he was mad at the ground and a quarterback who could pitch the ball six inches off the turf at full speed. The 1994 Rose Bowl team we had? We ran power football out of the I formation and we punished people. But the true option teams like Nebraska under Osborne or even what Georgia Tech was doing back then? That was art. You cannot tell me that watching a quarterback stick the ball in the belly of the fullback while reading the defensive end is not more exciting than watching some kid stand in the pocket and throw bubble screens for three yards. The option required discipline. It required timing. It required eleven guys executing perfectly or you looked like a fool. Now everything is five wide and throw it up and hope your athlete wins. Give me a good old fashioned option pitch where the quarterback and the trailing back have to be in perfect sync or you fumble the ball. That was real football. You cannot buy that chemistry in the transfer portal. You have to practice it for years. And that is exactly why nobody runs it anymore. Too hard. Too much work. Everyone wants the quick fix.
