An option in football is play that attacks a specific defender by leaving him unblocked and forcing him to have to defend two different players. One of the players is usually the quarterback and the other is a running back. The quarterback will read the reaction of the defender and either give or keep the ball. The offense has two "options" on the play for who can be the ball carrier. Triple option plays involve a third possible option for the offense.

Lou Holtz ran the option veer
The ball is initially held by one of the linebackers in a spread option offense before being passed off to the quarterback at the snap. The purpose of the spread offense is to open up both passing and running options as you spread your options out across the field.
AnswerTommie FrazierOften considered as the greatest college quarterback ever, Nebraska's offense has never been considered an option offense, they have lived and died with the Power I.Jamelle Holieway is most often considered the greatest option quarterback ever. Oklahoma ran the option and until Jamelle, J.C. Watts, also at Oklahoma, was considered the best option quarterback.
Running back running getting block option by the offense line.
Yes the Triple Option Plan is a type of managed care plan. It gives to its enrollees the freedom to choose among HMOs, PPOs, and basic indemnity. HMOs and PPOs are other types of managed care.
Off-road racing is a sport. Off-tackle run, offense, official, offside, onside kick, option offense, out-of-bounds, outside linebacker and overtime are terms in football.
As far as I can tell, NO college football team currently uses the wishbone offensive scheme. Oklahoma, under Barry Switzer, made the wishbone a legitimate, winning offensive formation in the 70's. Navy runs the triple-option veer formation....though it is still a far cry from the wishbone, it does have its similarities.

yes. Just keep the linebackers guessing. With the triple options going to weak side and strong side. Also throw in the triple option pass play, So one of the linbackers will fade back to cover deep. Also PA rollout screen to the HB. And a triple option reverse to the wr. Confusing the LBs are the key.
