We are in the minority now days...I don't think a modernized version of Osborne's Triple Option and Frost's Run n Gun Offense would work ....I know it would.
The problem with option offenses is you have got to rehearse all those plays over and over and over and over to first be positive you get a hat on a hat but next you have to have elite level running backs who can take the pounding but still be able to catch the ball with the skill of a good receiver. You have to have Full Back type guys to bull their way for that 3 yards for a first down. Running this type offense takes a very particular set of players...some of what we have now fit very nice... but we haven't recruited a fullback since Frost came home and we have all these highly regarded Offensive linemen why haven't they developed like we hope they would?
Hopefully that problem will fix itself now with the new hirings but it's still an unknown yet....people are gonna yank your chain saying there gonna hire this guy or that guy but untill it's a done deal only Frost knows who he is going to hire....one thing that's not being made enough of was Frost said in his bye week presser that the right guy will be someone with experience that HE TRUSTS.....and to me that says it's somebody he knows from college or the NFL.....and speaking of the NFL don't rule out a big name guy from the Show who Frost trusts and knows.....there are several guys out there who want to run the ball to set up the pass WHICH IS WHAT FROST SAID IN THE PRESS CONFERENCE, HE WANTS TO DO....mostly because in the Big 10 if you can't run the ball your dead meat for the grinder....but you have to be able to throw it also
You combine the precision PASSING with a dominant run game and that is recipe for Big 10 success !
