[QUOTE="Carober18, post: 168629, member: 1866"] I kind of disagree but only sort of. I do not think the offense is built for hurry up, but the analysts that say that are stupid sound-bite loving folks, because any coach who built their team for hurry up offense would be fired immediately, because that person is an idiot. But, I also think our team is at a disadvantage relative to other teams if it is behind by more than one touchdown late or behind at all really late in a game. I'm not sure how that was put to bed last year. I love the offense and cannot be a bigger CPJ fan, but (1) every team is at a disadvantage when it is behind, especially late, (2) our OL does not train as much as others for pass blocking, so they are less ready (not necessarily less able) than others to do that and (3) what team does well when the defense knows you have to pass? That said, the idiots who spout that GT's offense "isn't built for hurry up" are idiots or pandering to their employer's fan base, because it's just a moronic, nonsensical comment to make since not one team is built for that purpose. Maybe Baylor, Oregon, Auburn and West Virginia fans could disagree, but in the end, whenever any of us hear that sound bite it is some rube making the comment or some beholden announcer making the statement for the benefit of a mass of rube fans. And I live in Alabama, so I have to live with a lot of that. [/QUOTE]
