[QUOTE="ilovetheoption, post: 383464, member: 1414"] That's actually EXACTLY the argument I'm going to use, and I'm going to back it up with facts. Georgia Tech had the 25th fewest possessions of any team in the country. Georgia Tech had the 58th fewest touchdowns of any team in the country. Now, you may not want to believe that the option eats up the clock, and you may have anecdotal instances where it did not, but over the course of the year it did in fact result in fewer possessions for Georgia Tech than almost any other team in the country. The fact that Georgia Tech's offense had more touchdowns then would be predicted based upon their number of possessions indicates the team had a pretty good offense. I have a hard time believing that Georgia Tech people don't grasp this. You guys are supposed to be engineers. **Edit**: It should be noted that in an effort to be as fair as possible to you, sorted touchdowns by absolute, and possessions on a per-game basis ,because GT played one fewer game than anybody else. If you don't do that, the results are even worse for your line of thinking. [/QUOTE]
