[QUOTE="jgtengineer, post: 667593, member: 3094"] Both teams had players ejected for something that should never have had a flag thrown it wasn't any different than anything we would even do under johnson or bama teams do under saban. Southern's roster had actually been gutted of option offensive lineman. They had recruited big bodies to run zone. Not really paying attention to the best bodies and Wertz was ironically recruited by Summers to throw. They had also changed the back they were recruiting. And were attempting to run option last season with about 4 running backs total and several converted slot receivers including their current kid Wesley Kennedy. The transition that is like ours is the one where they went from Fritz to Summers. Summers tried to correct it by hiring bryan cook but then told him he couldn't run out of flex pistol or flex bone, they had to look like a spread team. Which lead to them being predictable even with matt brieda who is currently in the nfl. In 2016 they got 5 wins based solely on Ellison and upshaw being able to scramble they threw the ball 264 times (compared to a normal option team). In 2017 they threw it less but the majority of their "option" plays were simple like ours this year. Read option behind zone. if they had played teams they couldn't out athlete... well. This year was a pretty bad year for them offensively as well because they just don't have the pieces to run option football with experience in system right now and the sad thing is they don't have the pieces to run a different type either. Honestly if Johnson hadn't been the guru he is with blocking schemes. 2008 would have been a rather bad year. He turned TE's and DL into veer tackles and designed some plays to get Thomas and Dwyer one on one with people. He didn't run his offense really until 2009, not the way we came to know it if you go back and watch some of those games from 08 you will see what I mean. We had Power I goal line packages. Delay draws. Dwyer is a good 2 more yards back than traditional B-back alignment and so is the mesh, we ran zone dive a lot. [/QUOTE]
