the option and our offense

[Bulldoghair]

just wondering who thinks that the option will be a major part of an offense change this fall? if not, will there be any changes, if so, what can we expect to be different?

it takes to run an effective under center option. We are going to be just like last year. Lean hard on the defense and hope we can limit mistakes on offense, and hopefully keep WC healthy and have success running the ball.

is that it will look exactly like it has the last four years.

That's the biggest indicator along with Croom's own words and actions (recruiting Terrance Davis to run a Kodi Burns-like package) that we will incorporate *elements* of the spread this fall. No one will confuse us with WVU or Fla, play selection-wise, but I believe Croom's eyes were opened last fall to how ineffective his offense is and how well Auburn (another WCO team) was able to use Burns at times.

Croom is too stubborn to scrap the WCO totally, but he's not an idiot and knows he needs to improve the offense. He's been able to justify the lack of production in his mind by blaming the talent level. He can't do that anymore -- it's 100% his team now. So now he has to start looking internally. I think that's beginning to happen now. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself.

Carroll and he are similar athletes, although Matt Flynn has a better arm.
