I was also originally thinking of the red zone package we used for T Smith in '04 and especially '05.
We were damn near unstoppable it seemed in '05 (in the red zone utilizing the option, etc.) and we didn't even have the power back like Beanie then.

Supreme Talent finds it way on the field no matter the depth chart.

I also remember quite a few unfortunate fumbles inside the 10 yard line running the option. I think the coaches deemed it too risky and have pretty much abandoned it. |

Were they option plays or merely running plays? I thought I remember Schnittker having a pair as well as Troy on a draw, none of which were option looks, IIRC.

Is there a rule about complaining about rules?

Last night.
Didn't you hear the news? Mike Farrell of rivals.com reported it.
Tebow was special in his sophomore (heisman winning) season. Tebow was used as a battering ram his freshman year.
When people relate using Terrelle Pryor to how Florida used Tebow, they mean throw him in there to rush with the slight slight slight possibility of throwing the ball. |

Both the Notre Dame and Iowa games, Troy ran the option and fumbled it. One was on a pitch to Ted Ginn against ND, and my memory's really fuzzy but I think he fumbled it on the keeper against Iowa but he was running the option with Pittman. I wish someone would seed that '05 Iowa game so I could confirm. It feels like there were other instances but like I said, I'm having a hard time remembering. |
