[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 305217, member: 2451"] TOP is generally overrated in today's game. It is critical, though, when you have a weak defense and depend on running the football. For most teams it is overrated but for our team it is important, if not crucial, in protecting a defense that has not been good since 2008 or so. As another poster stated, 3rd down stops and turnover margin are more important in today's high octane, no huddle oriented offenses. It should be noted that rightly or wrongly, Tech's TOP is the one thing that opposing fan bases hate and fear the most about our offense. A Virginia Tech fan once posted something like: "Triple Option is where fourth quarters go to die" In 2014, we limited Miami to two or three possessions in the entire second half, of course, they turned the ball over but still that is pretty impressive. Get turnovers, limit the other team's possessions, keep penalties to a minimum, and run that damn bone is a winning formula for teams that don't have four and five stars galore. [/QUOTE]
