My premise is that you wouldn't have to seemlessly execute it to perfection to hang in there. My premise is that CU can be confused. If CU blows CSU out, I'll get on Allbuffs and go all Mea Culpa. Still think its a coin toss….

My premise is that offense is far more technical than you're making it out to be and executing something for the very first time in a game can, and probably will be, just as confusing for the offense as it may be for the defense.
I will say this, if CSU went to a triple option FULL TIME, then maybe, maybe they catch CU unaware and make this game closer than it should be. Preparing a secondary offense just for one game is a whole lot of confusion and the results would be very poor.
There's a reason Georgia Tech doesn't come out in shotgun with 4 wide, slinging it around 50 times a game.
What's the over/under on number of turnovers for a team running a high risk offense like the option, with limited practice? I'll let our resident bookie, @sockdolager set the line, but I'd expect it to be around 4.5.
I get that. Not saying that CSU will have the time/talent to go all AFA, Georgia Tech, or Georgia Southern, just that their best shot will be to massively shorten the game by using the run. I may have skewed my first post by using the word "option", but clearly CSU's beat shot will be to stay close by shortening the game. Their OL and their RBs are reportedly pretty good. Zerblis and the center will get drafted. CU's best outcome will happen, IMO, if Bobo starts Stevens at QB and puts the ball in the air 40 times. That's the big CU win.
And my wife would but Anti-Freeze in my Jello.

I meant Lobo. Sheriff Lobo. They never should have canceled that show.
1,1,1 !!!
Yup, CSUs offensive line doesn't have the ability to move laterally to run an option, don't think they would do well in a spread either.
In fact if they wanted to do something as a trick or surprise with that offensive line they might be best to put in two TEs, two FBs, a RB and run robust trying to simply push CU out of the middle.
Are you talking to PAHI, or PAHI if he were Bobo?

So who on Bobo's staff is experienced enough to train two QBs who have never run option in their lives, to pick up the reads necessary to run an option attack? Option is not something installed overnight without the QB to run it. So basically : you're full of Sh*t!
Lammies gotta dance with who they brung---see their last five games of last season. That ain't option and they don't have the same WRs that made that "O" as effective as it was, so I expect them to try and pound it between the tackles and run play action off that..

Bobo is smarter than to try to pick up a bleach blonde of questionable sexuality in Commerce City....PAHI? Not so much!

PAHI as Bobo likes to party!
Nobody has quoted this yet? What's wrong with you people?
That was just a momentary lapse of rationality in an awsome ****storm of Bobo fantasy play.
Mmmmmm...pickled eggs...
Question: What's worse? Suggesting a team run triple option for yucks or spending several posts defending said post after Shekler tea bagged the idea?

What is the perceived weakness? I'd run at our middle to see if our D Line can hold and tackle. I'd work quick seam routes on play action against our line backers. When I found a weakness I'd keep attacking it until we adjusted.
Last year our D Line gave ground, and some horrible calls maintained drives. Two years ago we couldn't tackle Hart. Tackling form has been a consistent weakness in this game. If I remember correctly last year we had a missed tackle on every big play they had, many of them for negative yards.
If our D plays a fundamentally sound game, wraps up and maintains lanes, we win. It's not rocket science. We are the bigger and faster team.

The weakness is likely our LB's. Expect Bobo to try and exploit them early, and expect Leavitt to adjust accordingly.

Of course if you're going to properly run that ruse, DON'T have the guys take off their boots and run conditioning drills with the rest of the team!
Sorta defeats the purpose of wearing the fake boot , ya know?
