[QUOTE="steebu, post: 258797, member: 740"] I ... just ... wrote ... [INDENT]Dywer 4.5 yards behind the LOS [B]got to the line quicker[/B] than any Navy B-Back 3-yards behind the LOS. [/INDENT] I timed it out years ago. Like did frame-by-frame video timing comparisons. Like computed distance traveled over time. This is why I wondered if it was time to do another study to put this whole, "Navy runs the option faster than us!" to bed. PJ even commented, "Logic would tell you that the faster guy would get quicker." I certainly think it's possible that they may execute better, but like you said, that could very well be a function of opponent and not completely dependent on brain. Does Justin string it out too much, making our option look "slow"? Maybe. Does Worth run a 5.3 40 yard dash, but cuts it upfield immediately on the triple against Fordham, making Navy look "faster"? Maybe. But on things that are quantifiable (how quickly does the B-Back get to the LOS, how quickly does the PST get past the LOS assuming a clean release) we were flat-out FASTER. Cutcliffe recognizes this: [INDENT]Duke coach David Cutcliffe said there are similarities between Army and Georgia Tech but also added, “Army, with all due respect, is not even close to what Georgia Tech is from a weapons standpoint offensively.

In 2013 Navy and GT both played Duke. We won something like 38-7 and Navy got pounded something like 38-7. Unfortunately, GT and Navy do not have a common opponent this year. [/QUOTE]
