What makes Navy unique (along with Air Force) is that they make use of the triple option offense.
It’s an equalizer for them considering they’ll play most of their schedule against teams that are stronger and deeper than they are.
Most teams out there (and I also refer to the Top 10 teams like TCU, Florida, etc) would have a hard time defending against the triple option.
The number 1 rated defense would have little trouble defending the triple option as Coach Patterson is a defensive genius... And no, Irish Fans, you can’t have him — he’s a Horned Frog for Life !!!
Florida runs the triple option. I am sure they can defend against it.
Georgia Tech?
Hmm.. I seemed to recall that the guy who brought the Triple Option to Navy, Paul Johnson, has used it to get GA Tech to #7. Maybe not so unique, but the triple option which was used everywhere in the 70’s is counered by putting 9 defenders in the box.
