    Triple Option

    As you said, the leverage is on the offensive side of the ball. The rule set is so violently over balanced to offense right now that it's nearly impossible to scheme your way to success on defense. Really super creative guys can do it, but you guys are from familiar with bell curves, and you...

    Triple Option

    Yeah, this is going to sound a-holey of me, but it boils down to the fact that fans and donors are a combination of arrogant and ignorant. Ignorant because they don't really know what they're talking about. 99% of fans don't really understand college football to any appreciable degree. I...

    Triple Option

    This is it. I understand that perhaps my opinion is not welcome here, but I would think if you knew nothing about me other than my handle, you can figure out how I feel about things. Forget that the triple option ever happened at Georgia tech. It's gone, and it's not coming back. Enough...

    Aka, the bronco mendenhall plan

    Gameday!!!!!

    And you had to go for it on 4th. A 17 point half isn't poor production. The biggest problem isn't on the offensive side of the ball.

    Interesting matchup, particularly your D against their O.

    2021 ACC and Competition News

    Sickeningly, I feel pretty confident that Tek is the best team in the division, and will have comfortably the best record by the end of the year. I think we (UVa) missed our window to overtake them in-state.

    Yep, better to win a terrible game than lose one

    as a UVa fan, that's among the worst football games I've ever seen. I apologize for you having to have watched that.

    Collins Is The Answer

    The truth is the same today as it was 2 years ago, and 2 weeks ago. When his 2nd recruiting class are upper classmen, you will be able to make an evaluation. You guys kicked a good teams tail last night. A bad team kicked your tail 2 weeks ago (3?). it's never as good or bad as it seems...

    Where the haters?

    You guys kicked good team's ***. That sure didn't look like luck to me, and UNC is no worse than "good". Either you guys have turned it around in a major way, in VERY short order, or the famed "UVa hangover" is alive and well.

    Fourth and Goal - what went wrong?

    To follow up, what went wrong was you got to 4th and Goal. Sometimes guys make plays, the guy made a play. You tip your cap. The issue is the team had 4 cracks at it, and didn't use the first 3. Honestly, though, Clemson's defense is freaking legit. They held UGA to a field goal (the same...

    UNC Preview Thread -- Who is UNC?

    Nope, still anae, just armstrong is throwing the ball fantastically. He's got AWFUL mechanics, he throws like a left-hander taught to throw by right-handers, but man, the ball gets there, so screw look, right? TBH, I'll have a better idea about UVA after GT/UNC :) At this point, if you threw...

    UNC Preview Thread -- Who is UNC?

    We're still early enough in the season that we don't know the answers to some of the questions. Is Georgia tech good on defense or does Clemson suck on offense? Is UNC going on offense or does UVA suck on defense? Gt/unc is one of those good early season calibration games where we figure some...

    What GT Does - Zone Running

    Exactly so. FWIW, if you wanted to say "that's not an RPO, that's a Packaged Play", you wouldn't be wrong, and I'd probably concede that your language is clearer, but there's so much overlap in terminology out there (see the 8 billion ways to describe what I call "Angle") that I grouped this...

    What GT Does - Zone Running

    I love this stuff :) I will argue back at you, but just because I'm argumentative, and not because I necessarily think you're wrong. (but, PLEASE push back on me whenever you like. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong:) SO... 2) The linemen downfield thing. This is actually exactly what has made RPO's so...

    What GT Does - Zone Running

    Yep. I mentioned the Broncos above. Gibbs was the broncos run game guru. Now, they ran more Angle than Zone, and most teams run more zone than angle (easier to install/block)
