COACHSPEAK: “Candidly, these guys were recruited to work out of a pure triple option system and so you’re going to see a good bit of option with what we do offensively. In due time, you may see us become a little more balanced as far as play calls. And yet, first and foremost we are going to do everything you can to win this year.”—Calhoun.
