There is a reason why Ben Boulware does not mind playing the triple option. He has played against it his entire football career at some point or another.
At nearby T.L. Hanna High School in Anderson, South Carolina, Boulware’s team played rival Easley High School, who ran the triple-option attack. Those four years laid the foundation of what to expect when he came to Clemson and faced Paul Johnson’s Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, who the third-ranked Tigers will play on Thursday night in Atlanta.
However, getting prepared for Georgia Tech’s option attack is a little different than preparing for Easley.
