Triple option

Re: Triple option
Far be it from me to be a contrarian here, but this wasn't/isn't a triple option. It's much closer to a traditional Run/Pass Option.
A true triple option, as they run at Army, involves a fullback. The first option is always a full-back dive and the quarterback watches to see if a linebacker bites on the dive. If so, the play is to go far outside or a cut around end.
From there's it's essentially what Vince Lombardi describes as creating a seal at the line and at receiver for an alley.
There's multiple variations out of the triple option as well. The biggest being a trap playing involving possibly a tight end cutting back the opposite way and through the middle.

With both Herbert and Pooka in the backfield, KU runs a MHB option. Multi-Headed Beast.
