st the triple option 80% of the time, the remaining 20% was I or Single Wing. T
here is a reason why so many teams went away from it. It's fun to watch when run correctly, but it's also easy to defend if you see it every week, like I did my entire HS career. It's hard for me to wrap my head around the challenges everyone has defending it, but I suppose it's like the 70's when the wishbone was introduced. No one saw it, so they didn't know how to defend it.
one can tell the triple option is more of a novelty these days. Growing up, I probably played again
