[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 827296, member: 4334"] I hear you. Your points are what I’m concerned about. Can Patenaude adjust to what the defense will game plan for against Sims. Last year after Sims showed out against FSU the DC’s went to work and Patenaude didn’t adjust which led to Sims getting hammered and turning the ball over. Your idea of Patenaude “having fun with formations” scares me because he hasn’t shown any aptitude for formations until last night with the Gibbs/Smith/Sims trio at the same time. After us GT fans have watched every snap of Sims GT career how would you defend him. I would absolutely stack the line and take away his legs. If Sims has really improved between the ears then as you point out he could shred defenses thru the air with 1 on 1’s. Like you I love that idea in theory, but Sims has to actually do it on the field for more than a half especially with DC’s building their plan around him. But that’s been the story in college football the past 30 years - the QB has to win it. For Pitt, like you I’m not too worried about their offense. They’ll score some points and if we turn it over they’ll make us pay. But we should also be able to handle them. Last year we made their RB look like all ACC and we allowed Pickett to keep the chains moving with his slow legs. Our improvement on the DLine should be a big factor. But the final score will be determined by our OLine and QB play. [/QUOTE]
