    #VTvsGT Homecoming Postgame Thread

    JFC Danny Daniel, how can you post in a short paragraph what I have been saying for 4 pages now and make much more sense saying it? You are a gentleman and a scholar. We run the same look on 4th and short that we do all other times And the defense isn’t fooled. Put two ****ing backs in the...

    I am not sure if the nature of your reply here. No offense meant with what I say next. But WE ARE RUNNING this play all day. That’s why the D knows it is coming.

    This is my argument. There are SO MANY other ways to try for it on 4th and short, WHY spot the D 4 yards to our bad? It isn’t working, so let’s call a different play, FFS!!!!!

    Reasonable response, but I disagree in part. I mean, really, how hard is it to line up in I and hand to a HB? This isn’t something that has to be practiced much at all, everyone on the team was taught this in 5th grade. They already know it, they just have to listen to the count. I am 50. I...

    No reason we can’t line up in the I or Split (which we did earlier in the game) and have a lead blocker for a straight power dive. I mean, why is this not in the playbook since it is a reasonable and successful play that works. Shouldn’t we have the expectation as fans (yes that is weak, I...

    TBH, that is an actual alternative play than the one that we seem to always call that never works.

    #VTvsGT Homecoming Postgame Thread

    First, there is no proven science in GT football, so defending a read option from shotgun on 4th and short would require a much higher success rate than the available empirical data we have on the books and that we actually witnessed firsthand. In short, “going by the numbers” we either call a...

    #VTvsGT Homecoming Postgame Thread

    Yeah. It doesn’t even have to be a read, there are a number of plays that can work, my issue with it all is we run the same play that starts 3-4 yards back And that puts us in a self inflicted hole when the D probably already knows what’s coming.

    Yes it does, lol. Under center the back has a full head of steam headed downhill from the snap (as an example of an alternate play under center), but in the shotgun, there is a pause and mesh 3 yards back, taking another short delay. If you doubt that, go back and see how fast Laskey could hit...

    It’s farther back, and still takes an additional second of travel. It isn‘t about timing at all, never was, it has always been about spotting the defense extra yards.

    Let's continue to go for it on 4th and short from the shotgun with a dive play.

    How to watch today??

    I don’t know what ESPN College Xtra is, but I guess it’s a way to watch on tv the ESPN3 stuff. This is the second time I’ve found a game here I wanted to see.

    Opposing fan perspective

    I would like to know about ALL of this. Don't know how many times I screamed at the TV about adding more pressure on Pickett. I am so tired of seeing a dive play into a mass of humanity that goes nowhere. Why run it?

    We just aren’t there yet, and I didn’t expect us to be. I hoped for 5 wins this season, that’s still possible.

    Updated win loss projections

    I was at 6 but it certainly included NI. I didn’t have us winning UNC, though so we are where I hoped, but in the current scenario I am more optimistic.

    If we go to a bowl year 3 then we are ahead of where I thought we would be At this point.

    Updated win loss projections

    Those numbers at 6 wins likely on the year is where I hoped to be year 3. IF we win them and UNC wasn’t a crazy fluke. CGC can stay.
