Caught a bit at the bar after Pitt Vs VT, when was someone going to tell me NW was starting to play the purest form of football more…the triple option?

A little Wing T thrown in there for good measure. Penn state had no answer

We ran the wing t on literally like 30% of snaps, incredible

NW o-line came in depleted actually.

It’s Chip Kelly being the OC that’ll do it.

I bet Chip Kelly had a lot more in his book, but just running straight through holes in the line worked for 20 to 40 yards on the regular

No, our best o lineman is hurt, we just flipped our LT to RT so we could move our struggling RT to guard, and our line is worse than last year. That motion tho.

I didn’t think so, but after tonight I can’t be sure. That adjusted lineup slapped tonight.

Can’t say this game was particularly high on my list but now I definitely need to watch it as soon as I get home from work just to see that

Seeing the Wing T at the Power 4 level was beautiful
