As the article goes on it really breaks down how he attacks different defensive looks.

Pretty simplistic. I am sure the deviations or adaptations are much more complicated. The same can be said of the Go-Go offense. What was published was the simplistic version.

ASU was 100% in that game. I was surprised they were able to match Texas' speed and physicality.

Ended up being a great game. I thought they had it won 4th and 13.

It has triple option elements, but is different. It's hard to be considered a true triple option when we had no dive component. It was a read option that included an additional back or WR that made it a triple option at times.
But we threw it much more often than a true triple option. I honestly think from a basic perspective that the Go Go is closer to the spread option than a traditional triple option. Run game is heavy on the zone read. Etc.
The big difference is the Go Go is purposefully simple. It uses unbalanced formations to make pre snap reads easier. Plays really had 1 read and that's it. Obviously it worked a little different with Maiava last year. The spread option requires more on the QB as a passer.
The Go Go has its strengths. It was a huge part on why we were successful. I do think that what we saw was a bit too simple. It felt like we had 6-8 core plays (or less) that we ran from a couple other different formations. I think that we became less effective because we didn't have a ton of variety on what we tried to do.

Where did I say “pure” triple option? The Go-Go is a triple option run attack ran out of the shot gun. It’s not the wish bone or belly system but 80-90% of the runs from scrimmage are based on the core principles of the triple option. It’s that simple.

Crickets and the game is in the second half. UNLV 52 Air Force 29 with 16 minutes left. Sad that this site is even more dead than football was 5 years ago! They need to make a big time hire to save the program, otherwise, if they stay with coach Kruger, move into Cox Pavilion for future games.

That is main plan all along. The cox is more cozier anyway.

I see it as well. He definitely has potential to become a breakout player in his college career. He’s made good strides as a freshman and has the raw tools to become a force in the MWC over the next year or two.

It will be interesting to see if ANY players stay for our next coach (will they want to stay combined with will the new coach want them). I expect Pape will be one of the players the next coach will want to stay.

No need to argue. But it’s a triple option:

"Go Go at its essence" refers to the core principle of the "Go-Go Offense" being built around the "triple option" concept, meaning the quarterback has the ability to choose between handing off the ball to one running back, keeping it and running himself, or pitching it to another running back on the outside, forcing the defense to defend multiple potential running options on a single play.”

In the run game yes. It also had heavy RPO elements. Heavy zone read elements. And standard spread offense elements. We weren't Army or Navy.

Again Maiava ran it well and he and Friel have similiar skill sets.

Why was freshman Maiava any more capable of running it than Friel?

One other scenario. Sluka ultimately won the starting job after fall camp. Assuming he stayed and had one more year of eligibility does anyone think CDM would waste a scholarship and invite Sluka back in anticipation that he potentially could run the spread offense? I don’t. He could never run the spread. But he was the starter in the Go-Go.
Click to expand...
I think this point is moot. Sluka left when he did to preserve his senior year of elgibility. He would have been gone either way.
I wouldn't fit because he needs to be more of a passer and his completion % just isn't good enough. He could play the young Tebow role as a wildcat qb. But he wouldn't be an every down starter. Sluka probably wouldn't have excepted that.
