Get StartedAF is going all out to stop the run. Not sure we ever attempted a 1st down pass?
Driving me nuts. We're running into a 9-10 man front over and over. Then when they expect pass they blitz us. Play action on first down will kill them.

This game is pathetic. Anyone a little more talented with this game plan would be kicking our ass.
At a certain level of talent, the triple option stops being a viable gameplan (mostly from a recruiting standpoint), so it's not as simple as saying a more talented triple option wins easily.
The safeties so far have looked completely confused. They look like freshmen in their first game out there. If it's not a run, they lose coverage almost immediately. Nicholson can't run at a smart angle to save his life today.
This does feel a lot like a hangover game, but this is also a gameplan that almost nobody else actually uses. There's a reason the defense was working on it for almost 6 months despite Air Force being a pushover team otherwise.
