Two years ago, when athletics director Ross Bjork informed defensive coordinator Dave Wommack and the rest of the Ole Miss coaching staff that they’d be opening the 2016 season with Florida State on a Monday night, he was ecstatic, until he figured out who the team played the next week.
“I said ‘man that’s great , that’s awesome’ then he said we play a 1-AA that next Saturday,” Wommack recalled. “I said ‘who is it’ and he said Wofford and I and I said ‘oh my gosh.’”
Why? because the Wofford Terriers run the triple option offense, and pose a unique set of problems for any defense with five to six different personnel groups and almost 90 different formations.
