NEW ORLEANS – When the triple-option is operated properly it is poetry in motion.
Slotbacks are moving prior to the snap, the fullback is powering into the hole on every play and the quarterback is distributing the ball where it is supposed to go based off how the defense reacts.
Navy was running the triple-option to perfection last Saturday against Tulsa. Quarterback Zach Abey was on point in terms of reading the defense and did a superb job of dealing the ball as the Midshipmen amassed 404 total yards of offense during a 37-29 victory on Senior Day.
