Do you remember who we lost to during the regular season in 2014? UNC and Duke by a total of 11 points. 11 freaking points. We gave up 14 points in the first 5 minutes and 44 seconds of last week’s game, just to put that in perspective.

I’m hoping that the offensive performance last week was a direct result of the OL. Does anyone know if they are good for the Duke game? I don’t know what to think about the D. They had it tough last week because Pickett stretched them all over the field AND our offense didn’t give them a...

Huh? There are some folks here that really like the TO, me included, but what we are really into is winning. I’m a Tech fan first, coach/scheme fan second. I was actually okay with hiring a new coach with a new scheme simply because I felt like most people don’t like watching the TO and I...

Yes, when we start winning. 👍

Exactly the point of this thread and I don’t think we have an answer yet.

Thanks.

What was Braine right about?

It seems to me that when you are going drastically different with a scheme and without the ability to replace all of your players at once that it would be prudent to morph into the new scheme. It would’ve taken a little extra work but the transition would’ve gone smoother. Maybe CGC has done...

Reminds me of the oily volleyball scene from Top Gun.

I looked all over for the 💩 emoji and I couldn’t find it.

Yes! I also miss being a major PITA to some teams. It gave me pleasure to know that Kirby was setting aside a little bit of practice each day to stay fresh on the TO. I guess I’m a bit of a sadist. It looks like he’s replaced that time with extra prep for his best chance at a Natty yet.

No matter how good the scheme, you have to have players willing and able to execute. From reading this board, it appears recruits felt like TO skills wouldn’t take them to the next level. A lot of folks think the TO is boring but I think it’s a thing of beauty when it’s working. I know it’s...

Right. @Vespidae wrote in an earlier post that they quit running it in 1983. My post to which you responded was communicating how they did after the transition.

FWIW, I’ve always enjoyed reading your posts. Here’s an interesting article that you may appreciate: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bannersociety.com/platform/amp/2021/4/8/22374803/kansas-jayhawks-football-2021-big-12-army-navy-georgia-southern-triple-option

1983 was when Ray Perkins took over for Bear Bryant. They were 8-4 in ‘83, 5-6 in ‘84, 9-2 in ‘85, and 10-3 in ‘86. Not much of a fall off from ‘81 and ‘82 but the fans might not have been happy since they weren’t at late 70s levels. Curry comes in ‘87.

Root of our current woes, meaning that the CPJ and TO era was when our problems started. Meaning that our roster wasn’t fit for our new offense when CGC took over and still resonates today. I’ve even seen some fonts on this board say that our offense back then even diminished our defensive...

The first sentence of the article says it was running rampant in the mid to late 90s so the transition has happened sometime since then. Regardless of when it happened, I feel like they would have faced similar challenges.

This is good info. Thanks. It looks like Malzahn left as OC in 2011. Loefler was OC in 2012 and then Lashlee was OC in 2013. Auburn played for the Natty in 2014.
