"Always" was admittedly too strong a phrase to describe the timing of the option snap count.<br /><br />I think that the difference between Miami last year and Miami this year was not that they have better athletes, but that their coaches figured out how to defense the option. Hopefully, Coach Martinez will watch lots of game film, since Tech will have an bye week before they play UGA.DaugManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925921846393106104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913457921644645352.post-49556176435911354082009-09-18T08:34:36.160-04:002009-09-18T08:34:36.160-04:00It's not quite that simple for timing the snap...It's not quite that simple for timing the snap (such as the wide pitch), but you do have the basic premise down.

Of course saying it and doing it are two different beasts.Mr. Sancheznoreply@blogger.com
