Best Answer

An option in football is play that attacks a specific defender by leaving him unblocked and forcing him to have to defend two different players. One of the players is usually the quarterback and the other is a running back. The quarterback will read the reaction of the defender and either give or keep the ball. The offense has two "options" on the play for who can be the ball carrier. Triple option plays involve a third possible option for the offense.
