Elon offense has options of its own

The Georgia Southern Eagles showed against Coastal Carolina last week that when a team sells out to stop the triple-option running game, there’s always the play-action pass. Elon may have a fallback plan of its own when it heads to Paulson Stadium for the Southern Conference opener for both teams at 6 p.m. The No. 10 Phoenix (1-2) like to throw the football, and with four-year starter Scott Riddle at the helm, they can usually accomplish that goal.
