Chris Paulson - The Pistol Spread Option: Option Runs

The Pistol Spread Option: Option Runs, with Coach Chris Paulson, features an overview of the key factors involved in executing the triple option in an offensive system that is designed to play at a pace that is uncomfortable for its opponents.

 

Coach Paulson reviews the benefits of running this system, as well as explains the underlying advantages of employing the option.

 

Coach Paulson also discusses the fact that the triple option is the most important play in this system and that it offers an entire running game in one play. As such, all other plays are complements to the triple.

 

In addition, Coach Paulson looks at the alignments, blocking, and reads that are integral to the triple.
