[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 252640, member: 2426"] Or, they don't know diddly about how GT runs the option. They probably played the wing T in high school, or played against teams that ran the wing T in high school. The high school teams that I have seen run it put their linemen almost shoulder to shoulder. They then push pretty well and whether it is the fullback, a wing back, or the QB, they gain 3-4 yards EVERY play. Occasionally they will not gain 3 yards. Very seldom will they gain more than 5 yards on a play. If they go to third and long, they have to run a different play. In my opinion, it is very methodical and very boring. I am not a football expert, but this is my take on the GT offense. GT does not line up like that. There is a very large gap between the linemen. The gap is so large that it seems to me that if a DT could time the snap, there would be nothing stopping him from grabbing the QB before the QB had a chance to take a step back. The BB plays are set up so that the BB has a chance to make very large gains. It isn't push the pile three yards, it is get people out of his way so he can make it to the end zone. GT has been in the top of NCAA for plays over 20 yards and plays over 40 yards at least most of the time CPJ has been here. That isn't three yards and a cloud of dust.
