Section 133 for me on Saturday. :)

Leach is a jerk, but he's innovative. And apparently he doesn't mind good input and observations from fans -- consider this twist on the old swinging gate play, but with a diagonal snap toward the QB, and snagged by a running back. Very cool...

Yes, Clemson is powerful. They were the past two seasons, too, when they lost in the 2016 regular season to Pitt (42-43) and in the 2017 regular season to Syracuse (24-27), a Syracuse team that finished the year with a 4-8 record. Yes, Tech defeating Clemson would be an upset, no doubt. That...

Like so much in football, the "Gulf Coast offense" moniker is not a new one. Back in the 1990s, when Florida A&M was pretty good under coach Billy Joe, it was the Rattlers piling up yards and points with the original "Gulf Coast Offense."...

Hawaii showed it against Colorado State weekend before last: https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/watch-hawaii-lines-up-in-bizarre-two-punter-formation/ Washington State used it last season...

Bulls' senior TE Mitch Wilcox is no slouch, either. But I'm confident Nate Woody is aware of that.

Here in Tallahassee, it'll be on Fox Sports Florida.

It's a safe bet that Tech should cruise fairly easily over Bowling Green on Sept. 29, so if getting Graham some gameday experience is a priority, better then than burning one of the "free four" redshirt games on a FCS opponent such as Alcorn State. Then, after Bowling Green, at least Graham...

"A statue of liberty play or a single wing dive play would be nice;)" Actually, one feature of the single-wing offense I, as a mere fan, would love to see used is the old buck-lateral play, "buck" being the old term for "dive" today. In the buck-lateral, the running back with the ball plunges...

You guys are going to feel soooooooooooooo silly when, of course, CPJ goes all pre-1930s on everyone, and he calls on Parker Braun for a guard-around run. Here's the wrinkle: TaQuon trails Braun, and as Braun is about to be tackled, he laterals to TaQuon who proceeds to burst by the stunned...

True about the USF coaches. That said, I referred to current USF (senior and junior) defensive players having faced Navy's offense in 2015 and 2016. (Interesting note: Current USF DC Brian Jean-Mary should be a familiar name to Tech fans; he was the linebackers coach at Tech from 2004-2009...

"USF Lost their entire offense and half their defense and has never faced us." True, but USF has faced Navy. A bit dated info, but USF did knock off Navy in 2016, by a score of 52-45. USF was blowing Navy out of the stadium 42-14 at half, 45-21 at the end of three, before Navy stormed back...

Zach Roberts is the grad transfer; he was the starting long snapper at FCS Lamar University the past two seasons. Per the Tech football info guide, Lamar U only had one kick blocked in 58 attempts in 2016, and no blocks in 89 total punts and FG attempts last season.

Here's hoping Tobias gets at least a couple of quarters in against Alcorn State, perhaps a quarter+ against Bowling Green, and -- if USF is more in "rebuilding" instead of "reloading" mode from all they lost from last year's squad --two or three series against USF, then that would be a nice bit...

What a nice “problem” to have re James Graham temporarily shifting to WR, of having the luxury to play him in four games this season without the redshirt being burned. Chances are high that he won’t be needed against Alcorn State or Bowling Green, so – contrary to the conventional wisdom (that...

(1) A consideration just for kicks: The new redshirt rule, essentially allowing a fifth season of eligibility -- albeit of only four games -- opens up the opportunity to (1) bring back the old JV game with Athens Correctional late in the season, and (2) apart from that one game, perhaps even...

Sadly true.

I would like to say that it was me. I would be lying, of course, but -- I would like to say it was me. ;)

I haven't plumbed the depths of the NCAA rule book, but offhand I don't believe it would a violation for the QB, or anyone in the offensive backfield, to do it. However, I do believe it would be for a lineman to face backwards -- in 1947, Syracuse coach Ossie Solem had his center face...

True enough -- though Tech in '39, with its deceptive "Hot Magic" offense :) developed by assistant coach Bobby Dodd, had a 7-2 regular season and knocked #6 Missouri in the Orange Bowl. (A 3-point loss to Notre Dame to start the season, and a 1-point loss to Duke, were the only blemishes on...
