Being 100% serious here, so please don't take this as satire. Would this give us any sort of competitive advantage, a la Georgia Tech when they were firing on all cylinders under Johnson? We have a coach who has panic attacks every time a football goes into the air, so I have to imagine this could finally be an offense he is enthusiastic about. Hell, I think it could be kind of fun. We could mask the Tennessee Chattanooga-esque offensive linemen we recruit and just have them focus on chop blocking and taking out knee caps. We could even have a fun nickname for them, like "The Loan Sharks" or something. The students could all wear leather helmets and really embrace this thing. Us fellows could wear suspenders and top hats to the games, whilst our lady friends dress like flappers when the weather cooperates.
I keep hearing that northern teams need to be able to run the ball in the cold weather. It confuses me a bit, as the college season ends in November when the weather here is seldom all that cold and often even balmy, but I'm willing to relent and acquiesce. If everybody wants to run the ball so much, let's freaking do it. But none of this pussyfooting around. Let's go full triple option. I think we could recruit a little better than Navy (unless they, too, have some NIL collective I've not heard about), so we should be able to pull it off at least somewhat successfully (up until a few years ago, they were a decent team). I sincerely believe this could work.
