Having a good scheme and executing it are the 2 parts you need to have a good play/game. If you watch the clips of our offense from the UGA game, not only are the plays extremely well designed, they are executed almost perfectly. Our OL made up of 3-stars, walk-ons, and Ivy League transfers is dominating their 4 and 5-star future NFLers. Driving them off the ball and away from the play. When Kirby said, “they might’ve just whipped us” he was right. We did just whip them. Unfortunately for our offense, our defense wasn’t up for the same task. I really hope we keep Buster around. I believe us having a talent deficit when compared to the best teams on our schedule really allows/forces him to be creative in the play calling and design. UGA had a lot of wrinkles in their offense when Monken and Faulkner were there together, but they never really needed it. Between Buster’s creativity and Key’s increased focus on physicality at the LOS, we’ve got a really good thing going.
(PS: it also helps your OC and gameplan look a lot better when you can execute the plays. A bunch of incomplete passes or missed blocks and we’d be sitting here wondering if we’ll ever be able to compete with UGA again, not plotting ways to take them down next year.)
PPS: any football “analyst” with half a brain should be able to watch our UGA film and know that this Tech offense is a legitimate threat to anybody in the country. It was not a fluke what happened against UGA. With a couple extra weeks of practice to work out kinks and install some more of the playbook, I got us dropping 40 on whoever we play in the bowl game
