BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) — Navy is bringing the option offense back to Western Kentucky.
It’s something that Western Kentucky coach Willie Taggart is familiar with — he ran it when he was a Hilltopper quarterback in the late 1990s.
So he says he won’t make a big deal about the system heading into Saturday night’s game against the Midshipmen.
Watching film of Navy’s offense brings back memories for Taggart. It also reminds him of how he hopes the Hilltoppers stop the triple option: discipline and hard hits on the quarterback.
Navy’s triple-option starts with quarterback Kriss Proctor, who has the choice to keep the ball, hand it off or pitch it to a running back.
He rushed 22 times for 176 yards last week in a season-opening win over Delaware.
