[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 366196, member: 1191"] In regards to the "two minute offense," I think we need to understand why it tends to be effective, and not just against GT. Most teams run a version of the 2MO at the end of halves, or when they are behind and clock becomes an issue. Because teams usually don't huddle during the 2MO, the D has to line up with the current personnel and make quick reads. The time to call plays in to the D is limited as well. Also, generally speaking, there is little to no risk at that point for the offense. generally speaking, they are already losing, and are therefore playing with house money, so to speak. In other words, they can now afford to call riskier plays as if they don't succeed, they'll lose the game anyways. If you watch enough non-GT football, both NCAA and NFL, you will notice a lot of teams are often effective at moving the ball in their 2MO, even against better D's. D's at that point know they won't be able to substitute, so the game plan becomes to trade yards for time. Keep the plays inbound and the clock rolling. This forces the O to make riskier plays, which is why you see so many close games end with an INT. Now, we've lost a few close games this year. UT was really a case of ST wetting the bed throughout, and that late fumble killed us. I honestly think the D just lost confidence in OT. I'm glad to see CTR got them corrected going forward. Miami was a fluke. That catch was extremely lucky, and honestly, I won't fault the D on that game. The UVA game was a killer as well. That's more on our D than any game this year, including Clemson, but still, when you keep giving an opponent short fields.... Either way, that long TD pass nailed the door shut for us. That's why I was so glad to see AK pull out the PD last Sat. We needed that confidence boost. I'd like to see the D develop a little swagger to them. They deserve it and have played well all season.
