Will teams start copying Ga. Tech & Navy

Re: Will teams start copying Ga. Tech & Navy

To this day, I believe that option football, with playaction off of it, is the single hardest offense in college football to defend, if you have speed to threaten the perimeter.

That's pretty much what Urban Meyer runs, but he dresses it up in a shotgun formation.

Probably to con blue chip kids into playing that system.

You can still win, running option football, for the simple reason that college players arent as disciplined in playing assignment football, and reading keys.

Combine that with speed at the skill positions, and option football can, adn always will be deadly at the highschool and college level.

Notre Dame used to do it, Meyer does it, Paul Johnson does it.

Re: Will teams start copying Ga. Tech & Navy

Sorry I pissed you off.

Clemson is ranked #18 in the BCS, the only rankings that matter. Clemson is also ranked 16th in the coaches.

But yeah, you are right. Clemson is ranked #15 in the AP which is useless.

Ga. Tech has two wins over the BCS top 18. Are you happy now? Ga. Tech's best wins are Clemson and Va. Tech.

I didn't realize Clemson was ranked that high. They must have racked up wins in the ACC while I wasn't paying attention.

If you think my argument is ridiculous or garbage because I said Ga. Tech will never win a MNC with that offense keep thinking that.

I'm not offended. Sorry if I came off that way.

It's all good.

I actually like what Ga. Tech has been able to accomplish and have been rooting for them in the ACC.

Re: Will teams start copying Ga. Tech & Navy

I totally disagree.

Triple option and wishbone football is one of the most entertaining forms of football to me. I have always loved watching Nebraska and OU (and Colorado a few years) running that stuff, it was great. I don't find it boring at all when you have three options on every play, even if it's the same formation.

I wish UT ran it, but unfortunately I don't seen that happening anytime soon.

OK, and that's your opinion, not mine. And you'd rather Mack recruit a qb like Josh Nesbitt and not Colt and GG? Where receivers like Shipley, Roy, etc wouldn't go to Texas or at least not able to play to their potential?

stingmgt,

Wow just saw your signature... I had no idea GT has 4 national championships. That's more than Texas, sad to say.

A. When was their last championship?

B. GT has more title than Texas??

Georgia Tech has one legitimate championship and 3 annexed national championships that weren't awarded by a poll.

As long as we're winning, I don't give a rat's *** what players come to Texas. Why would anyone care what 'names' come to the school? It's about the wins. I honestly don't understand your question... sure I like Colt and Shipley fine, but if we were 11-0 running a different offense without them, why would I care?

What I'm saying is if we can still win 10+ games every year either running the spread (pass version) versus the option, I would rather watch option football every time.

So to answer your question, yes honestly I would rather watch QBs like VY or Nesbitt or someone like Russell Shephard. I liked our offense in '05 because it was a spread-OPTION with a lot of running obviously.

I don't know anything about GT history... all I saw was his signature, and then I looked it up on wikipedia. It did say they have 4 NCs and their last one was in 1990. What's your point?

4 is more than 3 last I checked.

Ok, that's why I highlighted that part in your last post. It's your opinion, and of course I respect it. As far as not caring about the players that come through, we'll agree to disagree on that.

Yeah. 4 is more than 3.
















Texas has four National Titles. And yes, I include 1970.

Re: Will teams start copying Ga. Tech & Navy

I don't get why everyone is saying that this offense can't win a NC in modern college football. In case you have forgotten, football is a two way sport. In GT's case, our offense has been pretty much unstoppable sans one game against Miami this season but even then we managed to put up a respectable 230 yards and 17 points. The defense was pretty much torn up that game by Harris. It also didnt help that it was our 3rd game in 12 days.

I think that if you removed everyone but Derrick Morgan and Morgan Burnett and replaced them with the players and scheme from Florida or Alabama or even Virginia Tech, we would be undefeated and sitting pretty at #3 in the BCS rankings right now.

The fact is that every game under PJ, our defense has forced our offense to score on every possession and our offense has delivered for the most part.

Fair enough, I can understand. Like I said, anything is better than traditional Big-10 offenses.

Yeah. 4 is more than 3.

Oh oops... you got me on that one, haha forgot.

Georgia Tech hasn't played anyone.

No problem man, and we can agree on Big Ten football.

An above average LSU team pretty much shot that down last year imo. I just could not GT being more physical than Bama or outscoring Florida.

Soldier, go away

Miami, VaTech, Clemson, UNC...........

The only problem with that is, people are going to ask who have those teams beat OOC?

Re: Will teams start copying Ga. Tech & Navy

Virginia Tech, Clemson, and UNC have beaten nobody of note. Clemson is Maryland's only 1A win and North Carolina lost to terrible UVA and FSU teams.
