You see ESPN putting out these award candidate lists and I just think about the option offense we used to run under Coach Stallings in the early 90s. David Palmer taking a pitch and turning the corner against Florida in the 1992 SEC Championship Game, that was real football. Now everything is spread, RPO, five wide, nobody even knows what a fullback looks like anymore. We won a natty in 1992 with a quarterback who handed the ball off 40 times a game and threw maybe 15 passes. You watch these highlight reels today and it is all trick plays and gadget stuff, not a pure option pitch that makes the defense commit and then pays off. The wishbone and the veer, those schemes separated men from boys. I miss seeing our fullbacks lead through the hole and our quarterbacks reading the end man on the line of scrimmage. That was real football, not this backyard nonsense they call an offense now.
