Haha they have naming rights to the title of their HFC?  That’s so lame.  CFB has just totally jumped the shark.

Three teams running the option in the AAC.

And I believe we get all 3 on our slate next year! Better figure out that wrinkle.

I saw that yesterday and was confused. So incredibly lame.

It’s cause they have actually purchased him. May come back to haunt them when he claims a family inheritance.

I think running the triple option is a genius move by Rice. I’ve always wanted North Texas to do it and believe it will be even more effective in today’s NIL/transfer portal environment. 

If Rice gets a great triple option QB, he is less likely to be poached by the P4. Why would they need a triple option QB?  

Running the triple option, Rice can use smaller, more athletic offensive linemen who are easier to acquire and retain as these type of players are also in less demand by the P4.

You do need good running backs, but this is the easiest position to acquire and many good running backs would be excited to play in this offense. 

A triple option offense also shortens a game and can give a “less talented” team a better chance to win by limiting the possessions and opportunities of the other team (See North Texas basketball)

Good move by Rice. This differentiates them and I believe it will be successful. 

Maybe UNT’s next coach can bring the slot-T offense (which is wildly successful right now in Texas high schools) back to major college football?
