YoungBuckCoach Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I know it's pretty rare in the bigger school classifications. Is it more prevalent in the smaller classifications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randomuser Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I know of 2 (5A) playoff teams and 1 (6A) playoff team off the top of my head. Burleson Centennial, 9-1 and Midlothian 7-3 are both triple O and same district. Centennial went 3 rounds last year not sure about Midlothian. Amarillo Tascosa 6-4in 6A and 4 rounds deep last year. Several of the spread teams get in 2 back gun and run zone read option which is basically triple O. You still have to have a zone, QB and pitch player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungBuckCoach Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Yeah i was thinking more the traditional veer/midline. Seems the spread option is becoming pretty popular. As offenses cycle through I'm curious to see if the flexbone makes somewhat of a "comeback" if you will and cycles through with popularity again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purpleforever Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 A good way to get your quarterback killed. We were taught lineman has dive back, DE tackle the quarterback like he has the football every time and corner back has pitchman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As flag happy as we are these days I wonder if that would end up in personal fouls?? On non-option plays I could see it getting called. Not a bad plan though. Make the trigger man hesitant and the offense struggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 @LoboFan07 do you have the Tascosa game on YouTube? They're one of the few effective "true" triple-option teams I've seen playing big school ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboFan07 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I don’t sadly. Coaches stopped letting me have games a while back. But I’m sure there’s several videos on Plunk and company on there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Odessa Permian runs a weird variant of that flexbone formation.... Where the QB isn't under center- he's in the pistol with the FB behind him and wing backs to his sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagleborn Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Out of the veer I’ve seen a team have two 2000 yard backs and a 1400 yard QB. Some would say it’s the best team Tatum ever had even though they fell short to SLC in the semi’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlahBlah Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The most successful team I have ever seen run the triple-option was Wall. ( Team near San Angelo. ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1WildCat Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Waskom won 3A titles in '14 and '15 running the flexbone. In '14 had four 1000 yard rushers with a 5th ending with 970 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
