How Have We Never Run the Super Option?

I was at that game. Michigan people are the absolute worst. Ann arbor was a dump. I will never even consider going back.
I like the college town feel of the homes...but the rest of AA sucks and it is so spread out. And their fans, my god, we get it, you think you invented football.
this B1G media thing isn't new
in the '50s/'60s, michigan was often the only televised game every weekend
guessing those "fans" in your 'hood are in their 60s or 70s
Yeah...there are certain teams that have big fan bases because of being on TV years ago.
Cubs
DePaul (not anymore really but at one time, they were on WGN all the time)
Braves
Mets (WWOR?)
Michigan
ND
Hell, NU was a big game once/twice a year on national TV
Man, that seems like a play Scott Frost would draw up that would go horribly wrong.
Great design and play call
Wish they would have saved it for a game where we were more competitive. No reason to put that play on film in that game - save it for a game where it might have been a factor in determining the outcome

I believe I have posted this before
The RPO was invented completely by accident at Utah under Urban Meyer according to Alex Smith
Happened in a game - their option package only included give to the RB or keep by the QB (smith) the WR was tasked with blocking the cornerback on the play side.
They ran the play - Smith kept but the WR blew his block so badly that Smith was going to get blown up. Because of the missed block the WR was standing all by himself in the flat - Smith panicked and threw him the ball.
Utah’s staff wanted to keep running that play but Meyer and his OC - Dan Mullen had to keep telling them no play existed

That was perfectly executed. When the QB threw the ball his left foot was on the 29 1/2. The receiver caught the ball with his right foot on the 28 3/4.
