[QUOTE="ramblinvak, post: 73096, member: 178"] I think its important to look at this game in perspective of the offenses being used. From the get-go, there was only 9 possessions by both sides not counting GT's last one which ended in victory formation. A major reason why we run this offense is because it helps level the playing field in terms of talent and Wofford was able to do the same with the offense they run. Georgia Southern was able to play a tough game against Alabama a few years back when I think Alabama won it all, and it was not until the 3rd quarter that Alabama was able to pull away IIRC. It is not just us that have had difficulty with these type of offenses. It is surprising since we do practice against it a lot, but variations will make things different. Today, the offense did their thing after starting a little slow. The defense made one big mistake that could easily have been at least a 10 point, if not a 14 point swing. If that run is stuffed at the end of half, we get the ball back with great field position and I am more than confident we go in for a score. I guess the point I am trying to make is we all expected an Elon type score, but I will admit I did not know enough about Wofford to expect such a score. I will wait until the Tulane game to make any assumptions about how this team will fare this season. There was a lot to be desired from this game, but it definitely was not as ugly as some are making it out to be. [/QUOTE]
