CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Paul Johnson's offense would never work, they said, on this level of football.
How cute is that triple-option attack Navy is running, some would say. As major-conference head coaching positions opened up, he continued to be passed over. That gimmick offense will never work on the elite level of college football, of course.
Except, you know, it has. It certainly did as it put up 465 yards of offense on Florida State and averaged 6.4 yards per play, third-most against the Seminoles all year behind Louisville and Miami. The biggest difference between the way Georgia Tech played and the way those teams played is that the Yellow Jackets traded blows with the Seminoles all game long instead of dominating them for a half before wilting into surrender.
