[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 865766, member: 265"] 1. You are forgetting ([URL]https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2016/6/8/11877066/georgia-tech-football-2016-preview-schedule-roster[/URL]): "Not a single fullback played in all 12 games. Leading returning slotback Broderick Snoddy missed four games. Slotback Qua Searcy was carrying a big early load, then missed the last nine. Fullback C.J. Leggett, a presumed future star, missed the entire season [I](as did his backup Quaid, btw, and the freshman star who was going to start at AB, Nate Cottrell)[/I]. Quarterback TaQuon Marshall had to fill in at slotback for a while [I](because we lost Tim Byerly, Mr. TD-inside-the-10, during the season as well)[/I].. On top of that, only two linemen started in all 12 games. … Meanwhile, only one defensive lineman could stay on the field for 12 games, which prevented the Yellow Jacket defense from improving enough to make up any of the difference." And this was after losing our top two BBs, our top 5 ABs, our top two WRs, and Shaq(!) Mason(!!) to graduation. There were times when we had ABs who went the wrong way on plays; no sweat, they were freshmen. This is the worst injury cascade in Tech football history. 2. Sorry, I think Mississippi State was as good as the Dwags were this year. Case in point: their QB was Dak Prescott. 'Nuff said. They also spent 4 weeks at #1, 1 at #3, and 2 at #4. The Dogs did slightly better in the rankings this year but I'd put the talent levels as pretty much the same. 3. Well … yeah. That was the whole point of the spread option. What you are saying is that comparing an O that kept games within range where you could, you know, [I]win[/I] to what we run today is … unfair? 4. Granted. I doubt that Sims could have done much better, but we'll never know. [/QUOTE]
