He didn't really even run an option offense.

It was a Power I running game with some option sprinkled in.

It was built upon Dives, Power, Counters, Traps, and the vaunted Toss Pitch.

We didn't beat Miami in the 1995 Orange Bowl because of the option. We beat Miami with straight up power football between the tackles that eventually wore them down and then a couple of fullback traps split them wide open.

Agreed! Plus a solid blocking fullback who kept defenses honest.
