Just did a quick youtube search on how to stop the triple option and the first game tape that came up was 2017 OSU vs Army. During the first 3ish min of the video you hear the commentator say something along the lines about not getting the biggest or best athletes. Did not watch the entire video. But looking at the final score, I would say that Army's slow pace kept them from losing by 50. OSU was athletically dominate.
Here is GT beating FSU for the ACC Champ game. I am assuming this is the peak of the modern triple option? Well they won because of their defense. The defense kept FSU out of the end zone in the 1st qrt after a turn over, and returned a blocked game winning FG for a TD with no time remaining. You can say that killing the clock on O helped keep the D fresh. But can we not do that with the offense we currently have? I am not looking it up but I assume we have a really good average running the football.
Argue small sample size and that would be a valid point. I went into with a biased negative opinion about the possibilities. Well I just made it worse honestly. I still keep the same opinion to this point, its the Jimmy's and Joes not the Xs and Os.
