Well...see that play-option pass article I linked in the other thread =\  That kind of weapon could be deadly for Oregon to use against us--with Kessler at the helm for the Fightin' Condoms, it's still worrisome given their competence at running the ball and reciever talent.  (Someone keep track of Nelson Agholor, please...)

I am a little confused. Are you saying that we should worry about Kessler on a read-option (of any sort)?

Kessler has run for a career total of -142 yards, i.e. his runs are basically all sacks.

And passing out of an option look isn't new, though isn't utilized a lot because it is difficult to do accurately.
[Throwing the ball after crossing the line of scrimmage is the new wrinkle I saw on the play in the video. (emoticon)]

When a QB tucks and runs, defenses generally pins their ears back and instinctively moves toward the QB as they would any other ballcarrier.  This pursuit might leave open receivers who can still catch balls thrown by the QB if the QB makes the pass before crossing the line of scrimmage. 

Yes, we should worry about plays that hinge on misdirection and very clever stunts.
