I may be an outlier on this, but I'm a huge fan of the freeze option we used to run when we had our better teams, McPherson, Graves, McNabb, etc. I thought we had an exciting O back then, perhaps, more importantly, we had a brand. And, it gave opponents fits. However, you need a true dual option QB as all of those guys were, they could all throw well in addition to running.
It didn't hurt their NFL chances, nor the receivers either; Moore, Harrison, Hill, Gedney, Kelly, etc. all made it to the NFL. With our recruiting never going to be even Top 25, let alone higher, IMO, I think it could be a scheme that would get us back to winning more than losing, especially, against our own conference foes.
