Offensive line, watch this. 790 01:05:43,442 --> 01:05:46,654 - Coach, you don't have any pads on. - Now, you just play ball, Olson. 791 01:05:48,781 --> 01:05:50,157 Quarterback's still standing. 792 01:05:50,324 --> 01:05:52,451 Big on big. We can run an offense. 793 01:05:52,618 --> 01:05:56,831 We can save a young man's life. Come on, now. Power I. Big on big. 794 01:06:02,253 --> 01:06:05,173 We got a huge problem on the O-line, coach. 795 01:06:06,215 --> 01:06:09,177 I don't think it's because the defensive line is so spectacular. 796 01:06:09,343 --> 01:06:10,678 No. No. 797 01:06:12,138 --> 01:06:16,809 Men. Power I. You know I'm a fan of it, that's why I brought it here. 798 01:06:16,976 --> 01:06:19,812 I have learned in the last two weeks that it is not working. 799 01:06:19,979 --> 01:06:23,566 So as of right now, the Power I goes in the trash... 800 01:06:23,733 --> 01:06:28,070 ...along with every flea-flicker, double reverse... 801 01:06:28,237 --> 01:06:31,240 ...and every other trick play that you may have in your playbook. 802 01:06:31,407 --> 01:06:34,827 Get rid of it.

No right or wrong in here today, men, let's talk it out. 807 01:06:50,218 --> 01:06:51,594 Well, there's always the Veer. 808 01:06:51,761 --> 01:06:55,640 The Veer. That's interesting. Talk that out, Red. 809 01:06:56,224 --> 01:07:00,311 Well, the Veer's an option offense. Spreads things out. 810 01:07:00,478 --> 01:07:02,063 Takes the focus off any one man. 811 01:07:02,230 --> 01:07:05,191 It's designed for teams that don't have a strong offensive line. 812 01:07:05,650 --> 01:07:09,111 Now, that is us in a nutshell. Well, who runs it that we can talk to? 813 01:07:09,278 --> 01:07:11,697 Bill Yeoman came up with it at Houston... 814 01:07:11,864 --> 01:07:15,201 ...but other than West Virginia, no one really runs it outside of Texas. 815 01:07:17,286 --> 01:07:19,830 - West Virginia runs the Veer? - Yeah. 816 01:07:25,086 --> 01:07:29,423 Jack, that's crazy.
