I'm just curious if any of you other option coaches have had similar experiences:
As I have been watching game tape of our last season, I noticed that in many of the games, early on, our base option plays were often ineffective, and we ran a lot more iso, FB trap, and toss (as far as the running game goes). Later on, especially in the second half, our option really began to gain increasingly bigger and bigger chunks of yardage. We did have a game breaker at TB this year, which we haven't really had in the past, so I did try to give him the ball more. But we always came out running the option. If this is a common experience that I can anticipate, I'm wondering if I should alter my game plans accordingly. Of course, there were times where were able to just run option because we were simply better than the other team, but that's not often the case. Usually it's fairly close.
Thanks for any thoughts.
