[QUOTE="steebu, post: 265047, member: 740"] Erm, maybe. But Kirk Herbstreit hit the nail on the head as to why we run it under center vs. out of the shotgun when he was the analyst for our 2014 ACCCG. Wish I had PJ's mind to remember the exact quote, but it was basically, "GT's offense hits SO FAST when run under center, vs. those zone reads that take place 5 yards in the backfield from the shotgun". There's a play I remember very vividly from the 2011 national championship game where Oregon tried to run midline from the shotgun. Darron Thomas and LaMichael James meshed for like 12 seconds in the backfield while Nick Fairley sat there and watched them and waited, waited, waited, then finally decided, "Aw, heck, I'll just tackle both of them" and wrapped them BOTH up for a big loss. That doesn't mean that shotgun option doesn't work, but to hotmagic's point about Spurrier, I'm glad we do it differently. [/QUOTE]
