90% of what we run may look like an option, but a lot of that is actually scripted.
So you are saying most of the time the QB knows before the play that he is keeping it or handing it off?
Is Nick Marshall that dumb?
To be fair i would rather Malzahn decide than Marshall anyway.

This...this may hurt worse than losing to an FCS.
Nnnnope. Nothing hurts more than paying a school 500,000 (more than their entire football program is worth) to come beat you at home. Hard pill to swallow.

It's not necessarily Marshall not being able to make the decision, a lot of Malzahn's calls are meant to set up big plays down the line. Here's a description of our first drive of the 2009 Iron Bowl:
quote:
Auburn's first possession was a work of art. The Tigers used the same formation on three of their first four plays, and each play built upon the previous one. They all involved tailback Ben Tate motioning into the backfield and a read-option look between Tate and quarterback Chris Todd. The first of the three was a handoff to Tate up the middle for a one-yard gain. The second was a fake to Tate up the middle followed by a sprint-out pass to Mario Fannin to the right for a seven-yard gain. After a speed-option pitch to Onterio McCalebb picked up a first down, the Tigers jumped back into the formation they used on the first two plays. Todd took the snap and faked to Tate up the middle. He then sprinted right while Fannin floated into the flat just as he did two plays earlier. While most of Alabama's defenders chased Fannin to the right, Todd flipped the ball to receiver Terrell Zachary, who was sprinting from right to left in the backfield. Zachary took the ball and blazed 67 yards for a touchdown.

2011 LSU and 2012 Alabama weren't Option teams. 2012 Alabama did run 3 option/zone read plays with Blake Sims and all three scored TD's.

So does that make it a prophylactic clap??
