Option Offense

Option offense is a strategic approach in sports, particularly in football, where the team’s playmakers have the option to either run with the ball or pass it to a receiver. This approach creates versatility and keeps the opposing defense guessing, as they must prepare for both possibilities. It relies on the quarterback’s decision-making skills and involves a dynamic interplay between players. The primary goal is to exploit mismatches, gain yardage efficiently, and ultimately score by making the best choice based on the defense’s positioning and movement during the play.
