I understand it rains on both sides of the LOS, but the three rain storm (Monsoon) games GT played in last year is the best way to neutralize our offense. You need footing to block those beasts on the DL for Clemson. I'm not saying it's an excuse, but did any of these other Coastal teams play...
"Simplify the Defense" means that you will no longer see players shifting from the strong side to the weak side of the formation and looking toward the sideline when the ball was snapped. Instead you will see players lined up ready to go as they understand their assignment regardless of which...
GT needs two things on defense this year as the 3/4 affords a team greater flexibility to showcase a defensive stalwart. Much like when the NY Giants under Al Groh as the DC utilized Lawrence Taylor from all over the field to force offenses to not only game plan for him, but check off at the...
We will lose at least 30 yards per game in holding penalties because when our A-Backs are running down the seam untouched and the safety grabs their jersey, it won't show that it's being pulled like those Russell jerseys did!
He will be getting lots of reps in practice and also in games this season. Glad he had an opportunity to redshirt and now has an opportunity to solidify himself in that position for several seasons. This is just another example of the phrases: "Wait your turn; and one play/injury away from...
The real reason the game was cancelled was because there was a rumor Lawrence Phillips was going to be playing B-Back for GT, and Scott Frost wanted nothing to do with another encounter with Mr. Phillips. So he cancelled the game and hid in a bathroom game day Saturday.
I cannot think of an OC who ran an offense without any notes or charts to rely on throughout the course of a game. What CPJ does best IMO, is closely watch how quickly the safeties start biting on the run and move closer to the LOS. Much like a runner at first base seeing how much of a lead he...
CPJ probably would have hanged himself by now if "Bobinski" was still the AD! I see a great partnership with Todd as the AD moving forward that will last for several more years.
The numbers put up by KirVonte last year are even more impressive considering that he was going to be the # 2 BB heading into training camp. What an incredible burden dumped onto him when Mills got himself kicked out of school after training camp started. This is much different than being the...
@MikeJackets1967: "If GT were to shock the World and beat Clemson making their record 4-0....", then GT should be # 1 in the category of: "Money can't buy happiness or stop the Triple Option." Brent Venables also refuses to return any of his new contract $$$.
What has not been discussed is that when JT was playing QB the defenses preferred to play the QB first and make him pitch early. He was quite a threat with his wheels and IMO more teams elected to take away the QB run in the triple option and take their chances with the pitch.
It was just the...
The offensive line is always the key to EVERY successful offense. I think getting Kenny Cooper back 100% is a critical component of this offensive line being able to operate on all 8 cylinders. If he's not ready then that creates issues in the middle as we get lighter in the a#@ with the...
I went to the BC game back in 2008 and while the stadium isn't much to talk about, the walk through the neighborhood and surrounding BC campus after getting off their subway, along with the changing leaves was rather picturesque. Headed to VPI this season and hopefully another win.
The popsicle sticks they have for bench seating was something I've never seen before in any Junior High School Stadium. I thought they forgot to attach the entire aluminum bench. Then I realized it wasn't a mistake. Those 4" wide benches were there when Rockne was walking the sidelines...
@MikeJackets1967: "Was there even a star system in college football recruiting when Robert Lavette signed with GT out of Cartersville in 1981?"
Yes. There were several. But they could only be found on reruns of Star Trek.
