I say at least 5 or 6 option plays.

He is a pocket passer that can run. He is fast for a qb but is not even JJ fast.

Maybe some read option but I don't think we see much if any pure option plays. We're gonna throw the ball with Jennings.

a li'l zone read, a lil speed. don't freak out if it's to the short side either folks, it'll be ok.

I think 4 or 5 seems about right.
Speed option once or twice, and then a little read option (although I've never really been convinced that we run the read option, I think we just call running plays that look like there is an option).

I hope we see a lot of the option for Rivers to play.

under 3 option plays.






I hope they practice a lot of screen plays though. Would be nice to see these fellas finally execute a screen pass successfully.

I doubt that...maybe one or two to give them something to think about.

But you are misguided if you think they want to change the offense much with him.

I am curious if we will see a dramatic shift in play calling for the bowl game or if any such moves will wait until next season. Seems logical that the current approach will continue in some way, shape, or form... I would imagine an off-season to build the package around him will provide something more significantly different to destroy Wisconsin.

Hopefully very little. We are not an option team. We're an NFL offense. Designed QB run wrinkles are okay, option wrinkles are a little much. Jennings needs reps as a passer not a runner
