All I know is what the head ball coach at the Institute calls it: spread option. He is known to get right testy about it.

All I know is what the head ball coach calls it: spread option and yes, elements of run and shoot.

An option offense cannot be a "great" offense if it cannot run the option. Johnson's reliance on the QB keeper, with either QB, acknowledges his grudging acceptance of that while he adapts to a) keep b) follow) c) occasional midline and finally the rarer speed option, and that is GT 2018. I...

I don't think they could without being in Buckhead. I just had not noticed it obviously.

I can't dispute any of that though it sounds super hero-like, but even so, the Vick episode is a primer that character tells. I gather he is straight now and I hope so, but my goodness what a career was lost.

I had not seen that particular prevent defense Tech used SaturdayL three up front, five aligned more than 10-12 yards back, and the last three five or 10 yards behind them. It worked fine when it was maybe third and 30 or so, but with 12 yards needed it was porous. But it was different and we...

A question and not meant as snarky: why on earth would you want the sound on? All that does is encourage awful announcing.

I don't know that Clemson was the first or even one of the first, but a big part of their football building is a large section for study and tutoring, Not just a place to study, but a sly way to monitor their study habits.

Then that tells me there was something and it has to be on my recording. I will check. Thanks. (You ain't wrong regardless. Boy, was there handwringing about QBs and LBs and tradition and ...)

I think Saturday he was coaching for his job, I do. And had we lost, then he would be coaching for it against Virginia, and then Georgia. I think. But the bowl probably saves it and Virginia would cement it. Beating Georgia gets him a lifetime contract and a surrogate to deal with the press...

As relates to that, did I miss the intro to the game when they discussed Georgia Tech? I recorded it, got the end of sports scores and then the game, and got some few minutes on the former glory of Miami U. Waited for the commercial break or some such for Tech, and then the game started...

It's really good, isn't it, when the analysts and anchor people know the particular game well enough to explain some of its elements in language the viewer can grasp. It really adds to the appreciation one might have for an option offense, rather than the talking head shouting out that "The...

Ah, you're a sly one you are, Steebu. I always enjoy and learn from your contributions to the board, particularly as it relates specifically to Johnson's offense, which he apparently knows little about.

Miami has an outstanding run defense. And they call it "average" for a reason.

I hope for a lot of reasons we get the win because I am not that optimistic with what is in front of us. What I would love to see in addition to a win is for Oliver to come out and dazzle us with some option stuff, including half a dozen triple options. Ah, heck. Give us one good one, the most...

Isn't all coaching success due to recruiting and good assistants?

Good gets. Thanks.

I kinda wish you had not dredged up such bitter memories. Yes, it was a game that was not merely winnable but convincingly so. "Roofed" kind of explains those 100-yard dashes that served as drives for whomever we played, and then add in that "thing" that seems to jump up and bite us, and almost...

I am not sure about that. Richt had no reputation for cheating at Georgia and got fired. His problem always has been his in-game coaching. He is just not very good at it, very odd for a former QB. And, I hate to rain on my own parade, but we lost to him last year. We need to think less of...
