And even the Pass Spread teams often have distinctly different approaches...Texas Tech and Hawaii being prime examples of how different Pass Spread teams can be.

Good points. I think the difference in offensive line play is what seperates the flex/wishbone-triple option offense from everything else. I agree completely about unblocked defenders. The core of the triple option attack no matter what formation.
