I would love to play PSU every year. The atmosphere and crowd in that game was fantastic. Everything about it was great except for brown had WVU ill-prepared and we weren't even in the game. But a game like that in Morgantown every other year would be great. Especially when we have a better coach lol.

Yeah it was Code Brown, but the atmosphere was fantastic

Since we no longer have marquee teams like Oklahoma and Texas on our schedule, we NEED to play teams like Penn State. Nehlen played Miami, Penn State as independent with Syracuse, BC, Louisville, Virginia Tech, Pitt etc. He realized he had to play a tough schedule for the polls. And while the B12 is solid, it really doesn’t have that marquee matchup or blueblood.

RR just decided to kick the living sh!t out of everyone we played, that works even better.

It's too bad Rich Rod wasn't up front about it before he left. Right now he would be a great fit with his price tag. I think he is a way better coach than Brown and would probably cost the same. Rich Rod was always a better fit at WVU than he was Michigan or Arizona which is no man's land in my opinion. Just the fact that he had a 10 win season at Arizona is a small miracle. Michigan was never going to embrace his style on and off the field. It's was dumb to even try imo, and a fast divorce was predictable from day 1. Wvu on the other hand fits his style perfectly and always did. If he would've been up front when he left it would be a no brainer, but as it is now, it would be a shit storm to hire him back. I would personally like to though. He would win here, imo.

Hey how was he supposed to know Pitt knew Pat would run up the middle every short yardage play?

jim Leavitt gave Dave Wannstedt pointers on how to stop the read option. Pitt played a 4-3 defense. Leavitt always used a 50 defense.

Leavitt gives some options on how to stop the option

As a defensive coach at Kansas State from 1990 to 1995, South Florida coach Jim Leavitt went up against the Nebraska option attack six times. So the Times asked Leavitt if he could give a...

The read-option in a quick hit. Stopping it is just as quick to explain. Option quarterbacks want what's called a fast read. They want the defense to crash hard into the backfield. The quicker the defender reveals his intentions, the quicker the QB can make his read and get on with the play. A fast read also, generally speaking, means the higher chance for a mistake from the defense. And mistakes are what the read-option feeds off of.

So, instead of a fast read, the edge players facing a read-option offense need to give the quarterback a slow read. That may sound crazy telling football players to slow down but it works.

The outside linebacker and defensive end flow into the backfield like a wave, one after the other, as soon as they read run. Here's the slow-play principle discussed before. The linebacker doesn't run wild and crazy into the backfield. He's patient, uses his vision and waits to commit to the ball-carrier until the defensive end fleshes out the play.

The quarterback can run the option with the slot receiver as his pitch back if the ball isn't given to the running back.

Had Rod made adjustments instead of day dreaming about his next job he could have won easily.

Running the triple option.

The quarterback can run the option with the slot receiver as his pitch back if the ball isn't given to the running back.

We have four true options on this play:

1. The quarterback gives to the running back.

2. The quarterback keeps the ball.

3. The quarterback runs an outside option with the slot receiver.

4. The quarterback throws a quick pass to a tight end streaking up the seam made possible because the motion of the slot receiver will bring the nickel back out of position on this side of the field and cause the safety to track away from the middle of the field.

Four options, one play all you need is the defense to make a mistake and a quarterback smart enough to see it. This play isn't new by any means. Urban Meyer ran this early and often at Utah. Paul Johnson ran a variation of the play out of his double-wing offense at Georgia Tech. Clemson, under offensive coordinator Chad Morris, had run the play with success.

The purpose of many modern offensive schemes is to confuse the defense and get the ball into the hands of play makers. This triple-option look does just that.
