[QUOTE="GTYellowJacket12, post: 17072, member: 241"] It's not a question of the offense not being productive but rather "at the expense of what is the offense productive?" We can beat ACC teams not named Clemson,Miami or VPI as well as other middling FBS competition while running a system that does not attract even middle tier talent, a system that has to be scrapped when superior competition faces us like today. We ran very little triple option plays today and the counter option that was very effective against many teams in the past -think the Kansas blowout- seems to no longer work and was totally scrapped from today's game plan since had it been in the game dwag linebackers would've followed our guards right to the play like Clemson did 2 weeks ago. We have success though obscurity and not much more, teams have learned how to defend this offense and it is only though the high turnover of defensive personnel, one week prep time and conference strength of our opponents that we are able to win 7 games a year without the talent level of recruits we had when CPJ first took over (07 class). So I wonder how good is having an offense that puts up 400+ yards and 5 touchdowns a game if those numbers are driven by blowouts against lesser or/and unprepared opponents while we can't recruit the personnel that allows us to execute better on both sides of the ball (yes, other teams use the "do you want to get chop blocked all day in practice?" line when recruiting our defensive targets) and win against the better opposition (UM, VPI, Clemson and Ugag) that keeps us from contending in our conference and winning that battle in our state?
