Option Vs "Easy Stunt"

CUI,

That would be one way of doing it, yes. My philosophy when I ran the ISV/OSV out of the Bone or the "I" either one was to run enough complimentary plays to keep them off balance and not able to get comfortable with what they were doing on defense that was making it hard for us. All my passes, well at least 95% of them, were play action off the option action, as I feel that any true option team should do.

I guess where we differ in our philosophy, coach, is I always figure why butt your head up against the wall just to prove you can do it, when with a varied play selection on your OC's part, it becomes much easier for you to accomplish your goal of winning the ball game. Please understand, I'm not saying that philosophy of "I'm going to find a way to run what I want to run" is wrong, I'm just saying I figured out a long time ago there is an easier way. Remember, coach, the lead load is a great play that compliments the OSV very well and some of these well versed DC's who face the option a lot, can be beaten with it.
