I'd laugh at any team trying to run the triple option in the SEC.

Way too much front 7 talent and speed for it to work.

It would be interesting to see with elite talent in this age, but no school who has that would deploy that offense or attract talent with it.

That's not really the issue if the guys running it are fast and talented as well. That GT team sliced and diced a bunch of fast and talented front 7's (including an SEC one) a few years ago. The bigger issue is consistently attracting the right players to run it.

It's a MFer even for good defenses because it is so unusual if it is run well. Navy has given otherwise talented front sevens fits over the years under both Johnson and Niumatalolo. Ohio State, one of Spurrier's good USC teams, several ND teams. It's not just a matter of speed and talent.
