[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 831525, member: 1776"] Gibbs has been considerably better as a receiver and kick returner than as a RB this year - those 2 areas don't rely on the offensive line as much. Overall has he 77 carries for 279 yds (3.6 yd avg), with a long of 29 yds and a 46.5 ypg. It's considerably worse against ACC competion. So far in the ACC has has 48 carries for 128 yds (2.66 yd avg), 32 ypg. Take out the UNC game, which is the only game GT has effectively run the ball against ACC defenses and it is 34 carries for 60 yds (1.76 yds avg) and 20 ypg. IMO you have to start Simms as he is the only thing that gives us a chance rushing the ball against ACC defenses. Overall he is second behind Gibbs rushing but in ACC games he is way ahead of him. Other than against UNC, which has a poor rushing D, GT's run game has largely been stoned by ACC defenses and most of the yardage is coming from Sims. I worry about every ACC game, but I worry that UVA is sort of a bad matchup for us. Basically they are just going to sling the ball all over the field. Their OL is mediocre, but is pretty strong on passing downs. If we can't get to Armstrong then it is going to be a long day for the defense. if we don't get a better pash rush I worry that game is going to loom more like Pitt where a good throwing AB just bides his time and picks us apart. it's a game I feel like the offense is going to have to score in the 30's to have a good shot to win.
