[QUOTE="Sebastian GT, post: 44663, member: 426"] Yes there are some similar formations but there is also stuff in there that we haven't seen at Tech. So I guess in your world it is not allowable to throw with a tight end or two on the field on the goal line? While they didn't throw it in those formations in the highlight video I would hope that there would have been pass plays that they could have run if they wanted to. As for the passing plays we did see in the video there are some differences. Namely the slants and what appear to be smaller line splits that allow for more effective pass blocking. The bottom line is you can show all the videos of passing game highlights you want from 20 years ago and it doesn't mean crap. The only thing that matters is what is going on right now and his track record over the past 6 years at Tech. If Paul was capable of putting together an effective passing game for the way football is played today at the highest levels of division 1 then he would have already done it. IMO you need to be able to effectively throw the football at least 20 times per game and also be able to run an effective two minute drill throwing the football if you want to compete with the better teams in college football.
