re: Does Georgia Southern still run the option offense?

This is very true. It should be a warm up game for our defense but it may not help alot other than getting the guys comfortable in their positions..

It really depends on what the defensive scheme will be this year, particularly in the secondary. Clemson and some other teams will offer enough option looks that the front 7 shouldn't be TOO different. The 3-4 typically has the DL taking up blocks and pushing the point of attack to let LBs read the play and make the tackle. However, if the coverage on the back end are zone schemes mostly, those will likely have to be more man-to-man to properly handle a triple option. Either way, I kinda like the test of our guys' willingness to play assignment football and do just their job while playing within the schemes/calls.
