Not OU related, but it's good to see a team playing triple option football (that's not an undermanned military school) and doing so with success. Good for Georgia Tech!

That can't be right. All the "experts" say that modern defenses would stuff option plays every time because they are so fast. In fact, it is a miracle that Tech scores at all, or even has positive rushing yardage.

I think a team with good athletes can still have success playing option football. The thing is with the prevalence of spread and pro-style offenses these days, defenses are geared up to stop them. The old option? Not so much.
