Georgia Tech Football: Anatomy Of The Triple Option

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets primarily attack defenses on the ground and they do it, old school! The Yellow Jackets' triple-option offense has given defenses nightmares and perennially places them among the nation's leaders in rushing offense. Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson, quarterback TaQuon Marshall, and linebacker Brant Mitchell break down what makes the triple option, Georgia Tech's best option!

Salvador Bribiesca that number 20 fullback is unstoppable in ncaa 14

[@Joel-bb6og]

Just A Guy dude playing navy in ncaa14 I was #3 ranked LSU with like the #2 ranked rush defense and they tore me apart for like 300 rushing yards

[@ShiestyRooster3130]

Man if it’s ran correctly it cannot be stopped on ncaa especially when u mix in the pass with it

[@drewabrahamson3218]

@@justaguy7240 I agree. In my dynasty I'm Georgia Tech rn and in 12 games he ran for 1,087 and 10 Touchdowns as a fullback. Hard to lose when doing it correctly.

Fr, it’s so over powered on there 😂

[@panthro3899]

I miss seeing GT run the option!

[@AJthe13th]

Me too, miss the old Georgia tech

[@slimrecordings421]

Ran this offense as a youth coach, my qb was my best athlete. A 3 win season turned into a 8-2 win season. We only loss to the super talented teams.

[@fishbone3333]

Right. When both teams are well coached and have good athletes, the option is often neutralized but when the offense has better athletes and coaching, the option is extremely difficult to stop.

[@ethanjorgensen1878]

my nephew’s high school team runs the triple option. i come from an air raid background, so it was frustrating to watch at first. however, they run it so well that you really start to see the beauty of it! s/o O’Connor HS in PHX 🤟🏼

Damn ! I love that Triple option..

I'm hoping the Broncos have been watching this given the no QBs today...

[@PrestonRine]

This week in Tampa is going to be a good one!

[@theknowitall4090]

The best offense in football is the triple option to THIS DAY. If ran correctly it can not be stopped. If I were a Head coach today I would run the triple option. I watched a rival in high school beat us for 15 straight years running the triple option with inferior athletes while we were trying to play pro style. You don't have to have a 5 star QB, you can put a wideout back there, you don't have to have John Hannah type linemen, you don't need Barry Sanders back there. You just need decent athletes because the defense is having to make so many quick decisions they are gonna mess up.

[@jrocreeder8292]

Would be amazing seeing it in the NFL. You wouldn’t have to pay QBs and WRs 50% of the cap which means you have more money to spend on defense. Combine that with the fact that you would also be grabbing players that really only need to run block or run themselves it would make the offense even cheaper because they would most likely not even be in the league in the first place. OLinemen don’t have to work on or worry about pass protection, RBs don’t have to pass block or be receiving backs, and TEs just run block themselves. Your QB would be hella cheap and RBBC would keep those costs down too. Would be able to draft and pay only the best defensive players so you should even have the #1 defense. With offense chewing up a bunch of clock your defense would also always be rested. So basically an offense of athletic maulers with a top defense year in year out.

[@oscarhernandez1845]

@@jrocreeder8292 I really wanna see an NFL team do that

[@monkeyb1820]

When GT would go up against teams with superior talent on the d-line (eg. LSU, Iowa), the latter could typically shut it down. I'm guessing that at the 1A level, the athletic differences are more substantial than they were between your school and that opponent. I do think the TO can do great if two teams are at similar speed/size levels.

[@Handletaken4]

Please come to Nebraska

[@NT4XT]

Opponents Reaction Time is decreased. Does translate to Speed. Well done video. Minding TECH's identity. My whiskey's clear Cheers.

[@thenickfoxx]

This is Bill Bellichick's offense this year lmao

[@r.williamcomm7693]

I still don’t get why teams like the Bears didn’t use this for Justin Fields. Hope to see the Colts run it with Richardson. If used just a few times per game it can be deadly even with faster NFL defenses.

[@zurkez]

Bring it back 😭

[@Thestickybandits]

Look forward to playing Georgia Tech in week 3 it's always a good & respectable game

[@sharpshooterstage1586]

General Tso's chicken my Hokies have been having difficulty stopping their offense

[@Thestickybandits]

@@sharpshooterstage1586 it's all about stopping their fast pace offense. most defenses can't keep up with it. you have to hit them in the mouth early

[@Thestickybandits]

@@billybob042665 are two linebackers are probably the best players on the team and stopping the passes is the last thing I'm worried about when it comes to Georgia Tech

[@michaellyga4726]

Wide receivers: We don’t do that here

[@Mulerider4Life]

Calvin Johnson?

[@pchurch4973]

Mulerider they didn’t run the triple option when he was there

[@tomservo75]

This is the only option I can watch. The modern shotgun "read option" just sucks. The triple option seems to defy logic. Lining up in 31 or 32 personnel means the offense will run 80% of the time, the defense should just be able to put 8-9 in the box and stop it. Yet they can't if it's run well.

Not a popular offense cause it aint sexy enough, but very effective!!!!

[@dexterwilliams2520]

Broken in NCAA 14, broken in real life.

[@nonsense1558]

The spread option will become obsolete the minute they ban cut blocks and then the service academies will have to figure out how to win with a conventional offense!

[@nonsense1558]

And Georgia Tech will no doubt abandon it now with Johnson leaving. The offense is too one dimensional, and once a triple option team falls behind by more than two scores the game is pretty much over!

[@cgee7590]

I've always hated the cut blocks in option offenses...if you use your angles and keep running, you could have 2-3 linemen downfield every play, eliminates the need for open field heroics if everyone keeps their feet moving...who wants a lineman who's only good for one block each play anyways?
