[QUOTE="elwoodgt, post: 505983, member: 1077"] That’s a great question! To answer I want to first talk about why the option is different from what most big schools run. Winning football games is about dictating the terms of the contest to be about whatever aspect of your team is better than the other team. If you have a great run defense, you make em try to run against you, so the game hinges on the question, Is your running game better than our great run defense? If you have a great passing quarterback, you run a lot of passing plays, to make the game hinge on the question, is your secondary better than our great passing QB? In the NFL they do this at the individual matchup level, where they can dictate on a play by play basis, and make the outcome hinge on whether your guy can stop my guy. If I can decide the outcome of a game by whether my defensive end is better than your tackle, and I have a great DE, that’s a winning strategy. Matchups are why some NFL players are worth $$$$$. Big colleges, who have the resources to recruit and retain bigger, faster, stronger players, like to dictate the contest in terms of whose players are bigger, faster, and stronger. Of course, and why wouldn’t they? Watch Bama play anyone. It’s kind of boring, and brutal! They pound you until you give up. Georgia is playing the same way right now, by the way. So about recruiting. Sure, we can recruit better than CPJ did, in terms of size and speed and strength. Those things are great, and he would agree. But if we’re doing that in order to compete in those terms with Clemson and UGA, we will simply be playing their game. And they’re better at it than we are. [/QUOTE]
