[QUOTE="ThatGuy, post: 973382, member: 3440"] This is something I've picked up on, too. In the last 2 games, King has mentioned in the postgame the strategy of spreading the width of the field and forcing the defenders to run and wear themselves down. It seems to be working - love to see the running game break loose in later Of course, using the screens early to wear the defense out requires us to accept an ~75% chance that we just lose that down, and can pick up the 10 yards on the 2 other downs. Which is tougher against better defenses, but still doable. I also love the latest bit about mixing in option schemes. The nature of our current offense takes me back to Friedgen's offense - which we of course won a national championship under and, interestingly, was in place when Key was playing OL at Tech. That really gets me pumped to hear. I know a lot of other teams use RPOs and option plays, but I think our offense is so multi-faceted right now, the extra wrinkle of occasional option plays has to be particularly confounding for opposing DC's to defend against. Again, kudos to Buster Faulkner, Chris Weinke, Norval McKenzie, Geep Wade, and Josh Crawford. They're engineering one helluva machine. [/QUOTE]
