[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 78148, member: 231"] I am mostly with you. I have no problem at all with a tough running offense. Period. Therefore, I love how the passing game is built on the back of running the ball. So I hate possessions that don't [I]seem [/I]to my eyes to do that very thing. As for the first possession of the 2nd half, however, I am less harsh than you because of two considerations: 1) CPJ at halftime would have kind of planned the first possession based on what he expected GSU to try and do to compensate for the fact Tech's running game had been so effective and also based on tendencies he thought he could exploit. 2) He must have seen GSU's alignments and reactions as most likely to allow for an "explosion play" or 1-2-3 play TD scoring drive in the passing game. That is, I think he really wanted to have a deflating and fast scoring drive right away and so went to higher risk higher reward plays. He also knew that Smelter and Waller had such an advantage size and strength wise on the coverage. Now, one specific pass play [I]did [/I]frustrate me at the game. I still haven't re-watched so check my recall), by the way. The pass was after the wheel route to Laskey to convert for a first down maybe on the 2nd or 3rd [I]to last[/I] Tech possession. At that point GSU is right there ready to take the lead. Laskey makes a great play on a well thrown ball to move the chains and we immediately go back to the pass on first down. It is incomplete and the rest of the downs failed and the drive stalled and it was another punt. GSU takes the lead after that. I think watching CPJ's running offense has worked on me to such an extent that I [I]recoil[/I] at some of the pass play calls now. That was one of them on first down when we have just moved the chains and are gaining momentum. I wanted to run it up the gut then and get those tough 3-5 yards. Someone else complained somewhere on this site about pass plays on first down and I tend to agree. I wouldn't even mind seeing a pass play on 3rd and 1 or 2 when everyone in the world knows we will just run up the middle with the QB or BBack because the first down is so assured that way. I say throw the ball on 3rd and 1 sometimes [I]when [/I]we are in 4 down territory. But I do not put all that much stock or love into my opinions here, its just armchair coaching.
