[QUOTE="Randy Carson, post: 974774, member: 766"] I'm not an offensive guru by ANY measure, but when I watch oh, I dunno, Colorado or some of these air-raid offensive teams, it appears to my untrained eye that they've got a helluva lot of receivers running all over the place and their QB's have lots of places they can go with the ball. By contrast, it seems to me that our playbook is a bit...pedestrian. I think someone in another thread suggested that we're running a simplified version of UGA's offense from five years ago. Or something along those lines. At any rate, it seems to me that it ought to be possible to analyze every play run by every team and rank them according to average yardage gained. For example, a deep post pattern may yield a 78-yard touchdown...but only once every 10 tries. So, the average yardage for that would be 7.8 yds per play. Conversely, a QB draw might yield similar yardage ON AVERAGE. So, these two plays would be equal in terms of outcome predicted. The goal of this analysis would be to design a playbook with a mix of high-yield plays that result in maximum yardage gained on average. Simple, right? We're from Georgia Tech. [B]We can do this! [/B] I'm asking because it seems to me that Tech is running a pretty fair number of plays that yield little to nothing ON AVERAGE but we keep running them. Why? To set something else up? I'm not convinced that's the best approach. Starting 2nd and long is not a great way to win a game. We need a more creative playbook in order to utilize King's talents and to keep the defenses guessing. [/QUOTE]
