[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 495439, member: 1776"] if I was grading the units it would be very easy from Saturday. Offense - F - second worst YPP of the season (3.7 vs 3.2 vs Clemson) and was below 3 until late in the game. Lowest 3rd down conversion of the season - 23% Lowest time of Possession of the season. Defense - F - tied with Clemson for worst yards allowed per play - 7.3. UGA had fewer 3rd down opportunities than any team we played - basically they were getting 10 yds in less than 3 downs almost all the time. Just 1 TO forced. Special Teams - A - 100 yd kickoff return. No huge returns allowed. Nothing big to ding them for. That game wasn't even remotely as close as the final score was. This is just another data point showing that the spread option offense is no miracle fixer if you are simply outclassed on talent. But I don't think any other offense is as well. Ultimately you have to recruit well enough that you can keep it close. i think the option can work when the talent level is more similar (especially if it is someone that doesn't see you every year) but it won't make up the difference when we play a Top 10 level team. Johnson will be back next year and should be. But TStan may have an interesting decision to make after next season. Based on the current contract next year will be a renew or move on decision year. What will TStan want to do after next year and how much longer does CPJ want to coach. if running the spread option is truly hurting the ability to recruit, then at some point we are likely going to have to move on from it. i don't believe getting rid of the current offense is all of a sudden going to have 4 and 5 star players tripping over themselves to come to GT. But getting just 2-3 more a year could make a significant difference. i look at a program like WI - who also had a down year this year, but has been pretty consistently a Top 25 program. Their recruiting rankings tend to hover around 40 nationally. GT's hover around 50-55. The difference is roughly 1 -1/2 4 star players per year or 6 over a 4 yr period. [/QUOTE]
