[QUOTE="GlennW, post: 174194, member: 33"] Every year, football pundits and experts say the same thing about Georgia Tech. It usually goes something to the tune of “They’re good, but is the option offense still a viable one?” I am here to say that the answer to that question is a resounding “yes”. The 2014 season provides perfect evidence to show just how successful the option offense can be when done right. Tech was projected to finish 6th in the ACC’s Coastal Division, and Johnson was a few bad games away from being fired. They instead finished 1st in the Coastal and came two points (and star wide receiver DeAndre Smelter’s ACL) away from beating then-undefeated Florida State in the ACCChampionship Game. They then went on to demolish early-season favorite Mississippi State in the Orange Bowl on New Years Eve. Here is how the option offense ranked nationally for the 2014 season: #1 in rushing yards #6 in yards per attempt #2 in rushing TDs #11 in total yards #10 in points per game #6 in 1st downs #1 in 3rd down conversions [URL]http://thesportsquotient.com/ncaa-fb/2015/9/8/the-case-for-georgia-tech-and-the-option-offense[/URL] [/QUOTE]
