Bawb Davie said years ago he would

[Yoda]

Run PJ's offense if he got back in coaching. He is running something very similar, but from the gun. It's actually not too bad. I don't like it in short yardage compared to ours from under center.

 

[Techster]

I remember that. I think he was responsible for a lot of the "triple option offense" tag since he did a lot of our games and that's what he referred to CPJ's offense as, but he genuinely did like our offense. I remember lots of GT fans hating on him, but he was actually one of the few "advocates" of CPJ's offense in the national media. Where most talking heads harped on how one dimensional our offense was or our inability to pass, he focused on how hard it is to stop and how devastating our offense can be with big plays.

I have lost count of the times, in short yardage situations, I have seen teams get tackled in the backfield from the "gun". Had an old coach tell me one time, "never go backward, when you need to go forward".

Was it he that repeatedly said "Georgia Tech is conducting an absolute clinic" during the 2008 Miami game?

The team that is able to put more points on the board today is going to win the game.

Yep, the gun is great if you are running wide, but unless if you need to go north and south.

Watched Southern live and in living color Thursday and they were able to get short yds with the spread.........now I like that offense since they optioned ...threw and ran north and south out of it...........wish we had offense that versatile.

 

[pbrown520]

Yeah Mack - 88 yards passing - wish Tech could do that...

Looks good in the middle of the field but not when backed up inside the ten yd line and when you need short yardage or near the goal line. When we are, I love our offense!

I think he was being sarcastic, Mack. We've passed more than Southern this year.

Or maybe your post was sarcastic too?

Bawb Davie was big on our running back, Orson Smythe from Phenix City, Alaska.

Well not sure and depend on you my friend to interpret moods but hey when they needed to throw and they did .....they can zing it....I can see how jSouthern got outside on us......They have speed and once they break the line its about over..Just like the timimg and speed which Southern runs.....

No doubt about it...........NO offense is looking that good backed up inside the ten several teams this weekend ,Carolina and Tenn etc did throw close to own goal.It can be done but percentages are not that good.If you do need the inches it does help to have a guy under center though.......Not fan of our offense but fan of winning..........need to beat CANES

Yeah but to be hones have heard that line before.........of course when I played and coached NO WATER at practice...in early sixties as a player we would ask Coach for water and his reply was fairly classic "water water everywhere but not a drop to spare" wonder we didnt cramp up or pass out.........now we had all the water we wanted in a game but none.>>in practice.
