[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 114032, member: 1640"] Pretty simple to me why we are more successful this year. [B]JT runs the offense fast[/B] and blockers do not have to hold blocks indefinitely. This is the heart of the Tech's timing on the option. [B]We have good receivers[/B], something that Tevin Washington never had. Tevin was a good passer but his receivers had trouble getting open and when they did get open they seemed to frequently drop the ball. All of this made his time in the pocket perilous. I remember in last year's Georgia game when we set up our opening TD. On third and long Lee dropped back into a pocket that was collapsing quickly. He threw the ball long down field and my mind immediately said, "Here we go with three and out," because when Tevin had thrown this same pass in previous years it was always dropped. Of course, last year those passes were not dropped. All this is to say, the last two years we have had receivers who can help keep defenses more honest. [B]Last but not least we have an offensive line that has had few injuries[/B] and has been able to maintain continuity. I almost think part of the reason for having fewer injuries (besides just plain dumb luck) is that JT does things so quickly with the ball the defenders are trying to disengage from the offensive linemen to get to the play rather than continuing to attack them.
