Athens, GA — In a move that sent shockwaves through the college football world, the Georgia Bulldogs took the field at Sanford Stadium this weekend running a full-blown triple option offense—confusing opponents, delighting traditionalists, and leaving analysts scrambling to explain the 52–3 dismantling of a stunned SEC rival.
Head Coach Kirby Smart, known for his defensive genius and no-nonsense approach, defended the decision with a smile. “It came to me in a dream,” Smart told reporters after the game. “Herschel Walker was there, and so was Vince Dooley. They were both riding bulldogs the size of horses. It just made sense.”
The Bulldogs, long considered a powerhouse with a modern pro-style offense, spent the entire spring secretly installing the option, complete with under-center pitches, misdirections, and the occasional quarterback cartwheel—just for flair.
Freshman quarterback Zayden “Zig-Zag” Carter, who ran for 143 yards and three touchdowns, said he hadn’t thrown a pass in three weeks. “I’m not sure I even remember how,” he admitted. “Coach just told me: ‘Run until someone hits you, then toss it backward.’ Easiest playbook I’ve ever seen.”
Analysts say the move could shift the balance of power in the SEC—again. Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban reportedly watched footage of the game in silence before muttering, “They’ve gone rogue,” and walking off mid-interview.
Not everyone is convinced, however. One unnamed source close to the team claims the strategy was born out of necessity after Smart accidentally shredded the original playbook while “doing taxes.”
Regardless of the origin, the Bulldogs seem poised for another run at the title—this time, doing it old school.
