Coach Ken was no slouch, either!

I’m a longtime high school coach blessed to succeed and I love the triple! Multiple championships with it in our section in California…

1)Not to belittle in any way the talent of Oklahoma's team, but Stoops definitely held an advantage, not only knowing Leach's offense by heart, but also his psychology. He knew what Leach would likely do in any given scenario and took obvious advantage of it. Thus, Tech's offense was not given the chance to make up for the deficiencies in it's defense. Not to say Tech would have beaten an Oklahoma Team playing it's best football, but the game would have at least been more entertaining if that had not been the case. 2) How quickly the Pac 12 fell, since the possibility wasn't even concidered in this video.

Like others said, this was a crazy season since you had four teams in one division in the top 10 as well as three of the top four Heisman finalists. The Big 12 South was wild. One thing of note, Mike Leach took Texas down in 2002 before he did so in 2008.

Love this! Thank you for sharing. I really loved watching these teams!

My memory of the option was that for the option to be successful, you had to throw it 12-15 times per game. This kept the defense from lining up with 8-9 in the box and single covering any wide receivers. Johnson seemed to throw it less and less. You want to take advantage of the single covering of the wide receivers and throw it deep a few times against that single coverage. That’s the one thing I wish Johnson had done, thrown it a few more times. I always thought Johnson was a great coach. I hate that he got pushed out. I would have kept him around. Geoff Collins was a complete disaster.

It was nice to believe that we actually had, “A Shot”, with anyone we played. With him, we did.

The way football is changing ( going soft) deeply saddens me . These offenses are going to go away. I hate it.

as a GT alum it was always fun to watch cuz we were different. now they try to emulate everyone else, but just suck. johnson was smart, he knew he had an edge running the triple option because he lacked recruiting. whats crazy though is that good recievers came out at a time when GT ran the triple option (Thomas). no idea why they decided to go to a team that ran that lol

As a student of the game, the triple option is a great way to win football games with players who might never be recruited to play at the next level.

I ❤ watching triple-option football...it's a different, entertaining type of offense. You mention Georgia Tech, and folks have mentioned Nebraska in the 90s but there was a third Power 5 school that was known for the triple-option in the 90s...Syracuse. They had some pretty good teams, winning the Big East a couple of times with it. Donovan McNabb came out of that system and had a solid NFL career. The Orange blew up some pretty good teams with the triple-option, Miami being one of them. Once Syracuse moved away from the triple-option, they have generally not been as good since.

I loved watching my Dawgs win 2 of those rings ❤️🖤🐶

I'm excited for the 12 team playoff. I think it's inevitable we get some bad games. Sometimes there's a huge gap from the top 5 teams to the rest of the teams. But best case scenario the gap will shrink as every good player isn't trying to get on the same team bc you don't need to play for the usual top schools to be viable for a championship. So we could see even more parity (I think that's the word) then we have the last couple seasons. Another best case scenario is that the 12 team format brings in tons more money and eyes to college football. There are lots of college football fanbases who have teams that are good but not great. Iowa comes to mind. Those fans never really think they have a chance to just compete for a title. But with the new format they don't have to be undefeated they just have to have really solid seasons to get a chance. I think those type of fanbases are going to really support if their teams end up in the playoffs. Im most looking fwd to schools who would have never had a chance actually making the playoff and then making deep runs. They'll be highly entertaining to watch. Like the year tcu had. Conference title games are gonna be played like true championship games. I honestly can't wait. I think this is something college football needed 20 years ago. But it's finally here and I can't wait to see the blowouts and upsets and absolute craziness from the fans.

I never understood why the triple option couldn't integrate a run-pass option as well.

Nice video! Can’t wait for part 2

another banger. thanks fam.

Good content good video great narration. You got a voice for narration. Please do a coaching series you have the groundwork with Paul Johnson: start with the Bowdens and then Saban and other coaching trees like shottenheiners Shanahans and so on that would be money and probably grow the channel. This channel should blow up with the work that’s put in and quality content. Pay a few dollars to a pr firm and release some shorts on that new series and you can quit your day job !

You’ve got some good stuff keep it up

Man, I’m glad we have the CFP, but I wish we kept the BCS trophy

Penn state shoulda made it, by the end of the szn they were a powerhouse beatinf Michigan, Ohio state, and stomping Wisconsin for the B10 championship.

IDK I think it would be nice if all Conference Champions made the playoffs or maybe have the teams in the Top 25 go at it....?

Have to remember too that Auburn handed both Alabama and Georgia their only losses if the year. Then undefeated UCF beat Auburn in the Peach Bowl

D1 College football has been the antithesis of sports for generations. In no other sport can you get red hot for 9 or 10 games straight and not have a chance because of an early loss, much less go completely undefeated and not even have a chance to play for a title

I went to that orange bowl game. I'm an Iowa fan. Norm Parker's defense was amazing

I’m a retired teacher/coach. I have to tell you that you have really put great effort into these videos. Keep up the good work. 14:12

I actually played keyboard for "Paul Johnson and the Yellow Jackets"

This is a retarded hot take because the RPO is the triple option reinvented.

Great coach! Triple option ain’t dead, it’ll come around again. It’s weakness is winning from behind.

Harding University, playing in the D2 National Championship, runs this offense. They recruited my son to be QB, but he didn't want to only run the ball. He ended up excelling as a dual threat QB at the D3 level and never regretted it.

Never forget Tech taking a Dump on Mississippi state in the Orange bowl. I was there and the State fans really thought they’re were going to steam roll them.

Hi! Mizzou fan here. Review of the review time. We saw the same questions at QB and HC preseason. Glad we could all be wrong.

That flex bone is a beast offense

As a Virginia tech fan that watched a LOT of VT vs GT Thursday night games. Bud Foster could never figure out the triple option. He had to know it was coming. But every meeting GT would score 2 td’s off of the defense over committing to taking out the qb. And just a quick toss to the half back. And boom 75 yard TD.

Not going to lie I was happy when he retired. Nobody wanted to play the triple option.

The downside to the triple option is trying to make it into the NFL.

That 2014 match between Georgia Tech and at that time, first year FBS program Georgia Southern was legendary. 42-38 final.

I'm a Husker fan and the absolute worst team we had between 1970 and 2001 would slaughter the best teams we had from 2017-23 I wish Johnson was our coach

Just came here to say fuck this offense it’s a nightmare to defend and watching it was worse.

This video doesn't have much to do with the triple option.

some of these schools need to bring it back. they were actually competitive, now they go 3-9 every season

This offense is literally built for any team to run. My high school transitioned to the triple option my senior year of high school and we went from back to back losing seasons to going to the state championship and 2 running backs getting division one scholarships. For such a simple offense it was almost impossible for anybody to stop, even when they knew what was coming.

I fell asleep....what happened?

I used to hate playing Georgia tech,navy.. teams like that who run that offense

I want the option to come back to the power 5. As a Duke fan I’d love for our team to hire Jeff Monken or Troy Calhoun. Hell, even Ken Niumatalolo

Men's football is almost never played anymore. The Army-Navy game is the purest game around and it only happens once a year.

Some criticism for the beginning of the video: You use arbitrary date ranges to talk about conference parity. For the Pac 12 you start at 2016, while in the SEC you start at 2014. Then for the Big 10 you start at 2017, making the claim that OSU and Michigan have a duopoly on the conference, however if you used consistent date ranges, you'd find that Michigan State also had 2 conference titles, Penn State had 1, and OSU had an additional 1. It gets even worse when you talk about the Big 12, because you use the fact that KSU, Baylor and Oklahoma have won 1 each of the last 3 to make a point about the Big 12 having uniquely high parity, when again if you used consistent date ranges you'd find that Oklahoma had won the previous 6 conference titles in a row! I know this is a small and growing channel, and that you've put out better work since this video came out, but I think should strive for a higher degree of accuracy and integrity, instead of trying to paint a convenient narrative for your video. Anyways I just wanted to comment on that, overall I think your content is great and I only point this out because I want you to get better. 2008 is also my favorite CFB season, guns up!

Solid video man!

Harding University

Overall, I'm high on the PJ era at tech, but as time went on it was clear IMO that the more elite teams could still overpower tech (eg LSU, Iowa, maybe one or two others). I recall that in his first year or two, PJ had some of Gailey's recruits, and PJ did more with this high level talent (Nesbit, Dwyer) than Gailey could ever do. Then it seemed like PJ couldn't get quite that same level of talent, but the offense was mostly good and tech would 'over achieve', and then get into a bowl and sometimes get clobbered by a physically superior team (although I do recall Tech beating Miss State one year, that was a great bowl win). The biggest problems with the TO are IMO that the quarterback really takes a beating (high likelihood of injury), and that to do it well really requires elite level talent (but the elite talent mostly want to play in a traditional 'pro style' offense). But when the TO is clicking, it is really fun to watch.

Ive been a fan of Georgia tech football ever since that 220-0 victory over Cumberland college.
