Re: Official Countdown Thread

I wonder if an option attack will play a smart part in next year's team with all of that speed at QB.  There is obviously an added risk for injury, but I think the upside of having that kind of mobility is there.  A QB draw is obviously a weapon we'll use, IMO.  Thoughts?

Trust me, the option is the best offense ever created- then again, I am biased

Depending on what sort of option scheme is used, it can be a high risk/ high reward sort of offense. If the option play is used frequently or nearly exclusively, you will turn the ball over. It's up to the offense to make sure they minimize that risk, and take care of business by putting points up (sounds like what most offenses should be doing :).

A very good option attack is a thing of beauty(as witnessed by NDSU from the late 60's-90's), but a mediocre option game is easy for a decent disciplined defense to shut down.

Georgia Southern and a few select other schools are able to pull it off because they recruit speed, but you also need that speed at positions besides the QB and RB's.

The option is a great offense when you have the athletes and personel to run it. However, when an option team (like Georgia Southern) runs into a defense that can stop the option, that option team runs out of ways to move the ball in a hurry. Much like what happened to GSU last year in the playoffs. That is why you are seeing the Nebraska's and NDSU's changing their attack to more of a pro style offense.

What I envision for the Jacks is the same type of offense we have used for the past 4-5 seasons with a complimentary helping of a speed option or an option out of our I formation, just as a change of pace. Granted, there are many risks that probably outweigh any of the benefits that we may gain from that sort of use (ie fumbles and injuries) but it's interesting to think about.

Re: Official Countdown Thread

I would not pencil in Andy as the starter just yet.
I look for Ryan Berry and Ryan Crawford to really push for that position. Ryan did run a little in high school. And all these QB's are good size at 6-3.

Does anyone know anything about Redshirt Freshman quarterback Reed Burckhardt ?
