A beginner’s guide to Army’s triple option offensive attack

Sometimes when fans discuss the sport of football, there are a lot of buzzwords that get thrown around. We see it already with Michigan in terms of RPOs, crossing routes, etc. A lot of people say it, and sort of know what it is in concept, but do not fully understand what it is.

Saturday should be another buzzword game for the casual college football fan with the Army Black Knights coming into town, who run one of the most unorthodox offensive concepts in the sport — the triple option offense. We will not get too schematic here as to not fry your brain circuits, but it will at least give you an understanding of what Michigan has been game-planning for since the spring.
