That's exactly what I was saying after game #1. They have some athletes in Ysidro and Nichols.

I'd put them in a spread formation with a Bryant in the back field, and I'd move Nichols around in motion. You can still run power with Bryant, plus you can use Ysidro and Nichols speed on the edges or behind Bryant blocking. Not to mention the quick pass opportunities, bootlegs and other misdirection.

Thats not a bad idea at all.
Whitley use to be so good at jet sweep and toss sweeps while faking to the fullback.
Its all apart of the "flex bone" type of offense we run.
However, we use to be REALLY good at running the option when Lebanion was there at QB because he was talented enough to read tacklers and decided whether to pitch the ball or not and he was very good at whether or not to fake it to the full back. Its hard to get a kid that can read defenses well enough to know what he wants to do with the ball and carry out the right fake or not.
