Not only that, but since when have they been able to defend the read option?

Dude, go eat a breakfast burrito at the Frontier for me. That's about the only thing I miss about the ABQ... well that and my family.

I certainly will...I have lived here for 5 years...I like it but with that being said I would welcome the opportunity to move again.

Great...like the Falcons didn't puss out enough in big situations. Now they are going into the den of all things vaginal

Mt. Lattimore · 03-26-2013, 12:01 PM

Another reason why the Falcons won't win big anytime soon.

2000grad · 03-26-2013, 12:10 PM

Clemson doesn't run the read option. If the Falcons want to run Clemson's offense, just send 12 guys in motion and throw a bomb 40 yds down the field

I'm a panthers fan. So I couldn't be happier

I Bleed Garnet · 03-26-2013, 12:26 PM

I'm lost here. First, Clemson does run the read option, but who doesn't now days?
2nd, why would you ask them about how to stop it? Their defense is bad

There are many teams that don't run it.

Also, if someone says Option Offense, you have to narrow it down to one of many. They might run a few plays here and there, but their offense is not a main read option as I understand it to be. Of course, my understanding of it might be incorrect.

USC runs the zone read, but it is my understanding that a read option is more of what UF ran when Urban was there. It seems that Clemson runs a hybrid spread. Again, could be wrong

Show them tape from the SC game so they know what not to do.

It's a zone read offense that Chad Morris learned from Malzahn.

And here's Urban Meyer talking about that

LOL. I like this a lot. So they falcons go to clemson to learn about the read option, thinking that since the clemson read-option got a lot of yards last year that they'll see a good example of it. Little do they know that the real reason clemson racked up so many yards last season is b.c they played in the weakest conference in 'merica against Charmin soft defenses week in and week out.

If they think that anything clemson does will translate to the pro-level in game situations, they are clueless, and as a Panthers fan, this makes me very happy.

Seems more than one person on CT is colored confused.

cockybusiness2 · 03-26-2013, 02:37 PM

Well maybe they want to learn how NOT to defend the read option

smoovecock · 03-26-2013, 02:39 PM

Im confused also...They have been running the chunk and hope for 3 years now....

ReadR00ster · 03-26-2013, 02:44 PM

Maybe they are going there to learn how to get beat by the read-option.
