[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 167639, member: 2175"] That seems no different than any of the shotgun options, whether OSU, MSU or Clemson for instance. The QB always touches the ball first. Johnson's spread, however, with its Abacks set in tight to the tackles and the B back so close to the LOS he could fall into it, gets at a defense much quicker and for that initial burst, faster, and forces defenses to do something they do not like to do: make an instant decision. Conversely, while a QB like Watson has the luxury, as it were, of reading room and time and a two-three step drift looking for weaknesses, Thomas has less than a second to make his first decision . I think that's what opposing coaches mean afterwards when they talk about not being able to practice against such speed: Tech's backs are top of them the split second the play starts. Read/zone options not so much. [/QUOTE]
