I was just thinking back to GT playing against Aaron Donald in college, and thinking to myself "you know, maybe the random fans are right. Maybe this scheme just isn't cut out for big-time football. We can't even block Pitt's DL. Maybe given time to prepare, ANY team can shut down this offense...

Guys. This is it. Right now. This moment right now, where you're not a good team, and you just got slaughtered by ND, and you're aware that if UGA wanted this the score to be 100-0, and it's only by virtue of their class as a program and their mercy that it won't be, this is the moment...

I had long heard Paul Johnson talk about how much the Air Raid was like the Triple Option, and for my own team, I've cribbed some Air Raid concepts in the pass game, but I'd never really dug into the Air Raid as a whole offense until this year. Johnson's not wrong. Like, x's and o's, it...

So, we've sort of covered this one in a past edition of ILTOs WGTD, so this is going to be a quickie (the standard ILTO advance warning. :/ ). We're just going to do real basics. The basic concept here is that when you hear "RPO" what you're REALLY hearing is "there are a whole suite if plays...

I know, I know, you guys want to see the fancy stuff, RPO's, route combinations, SCHEMES. Well, tough titties. The game is won and lost at the Line of Scrimmage. We've talked about the run game that you guys use. Here's what you guys like to do in pass protection. Honestly, it's really not that...

"Soothsayer: Beware the ides of March." The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Act I, Scene 2 A public place. The date was March 15, 1978. A Georgian was in the white house, the number one song in the land was Night Fever, by the Bee Gees, Jacqueline Bisset was on the cover of Vogue, and football...

So, there has been a lot of talk on this forum about schemes and using players, and such, so I thought I'd do a little piece showing what it is that you guys actually do, so that if you're watching the game, and want to rewind a play and understand what's actually going on you can. Before we...

Noon: Mississippi State (Classic Air Raid) Tulsa (Briles Smashmouth Spread) (watch how much 1 Back Power they run) Cincy (they do a lot of fun stuff with the zone run game, IZ, OZ, Duo, Jet, etc, as well as some honest to god, 1908 Pop Warner Single Wing at the goal line) 4: Army (You guys may...

Hey man, Year 2 of being running game coordinator for my brother's H.S. team. I'm fundamentally not a fan of zone running anyhow, because I think football is a game of aggression and I don't like the passivity of zone blocking. THAT SAID, we put in inside zone and outside zone because...

It is a leisure activity. Nobody's life is on the line. There are only ~10 opportunities a year to watch GT football, root on the white and gold, and enjoy a group of kids that don't get in trouble and do their best to represent the school. Enjoy tonight. Put aside expectations, and...

So, this has been on my mind lately for my own reasons, and with you guys playing Clemson, I thought you might find it interesting. Clemson played a large part in popularizing the zone read option at Clemson in the late 90's. Modern zone read option is an INCREDIBLY multiple play, but really...

If this is the wrong forum, or if you just DGAF, that's fine, please feel free to delete. ANYHOW, my brother was recently promoted to head coach at his high school on the west coast. Although I live in DC, he has asked me to plan the running game portion of his offense, soup to nuts. Concept...

Well played, gentlemen. Well played, indeed.

Hey all, just stopping in to let you guys know why I think your fanbase should pay attention to and enjoy the United States Mens National Soccer Team, and their new coach, Gregg Berhalter. For short, I'll call them Gregg's Team (GT). So GT has a new coach, and for some reason I cannot put my...

I have long maintained that the reason you guys didn't compete for 4 and 5 star recruits under CPJ had more to do with GT than it did CPJ. I maintained that your academic situation made long term high level recruiting untenable, and that doing things the same way as UGA was unlikely to lead to...

So, I will preface that when I heard that you guys were looking at Woody, I was tickled pink. (I'm relatively sure that there is evidence of this on this board, and it would be tough for me to deny it at this point). My thoughts were that I would take giving up more big plays if it meant...

GT's national ranking in fewest penalties for current seniors: 2018: 6 2017: 2 2016: 15 2015: 2

So, here is what GT has done after halftime on defense since Clemson: BGSU-7 Points Louisville-7 points (not counting 7 in a last minute garbage time drive aginst the backups) Duke-21 points VT-7 points UNC-18 points Miami-7 points UVA-6 points That's....pretty good, actually. When you consider...

So, I've heard there may be some interest in me doing a writeup so here goes. To me, it really comes down to two matchups: GT's OL vs UVa's DL, and GT's LBs vs UVa QB Bryce Perkins. More on both of these later. UVA D vs GT O. This is where each coach makes their money, and each serve as unit...

http://www.espn.com/college-football/player/_/id/4363608/wesley-wells With 2 games left in the season, he has yet to miss a kick of any kind this year. He doesn't have butker's leg, but having somebody who is reliable on the short stuff is mana from heaven, as far as I am concerned. This kid...
