[QUOTE="cpf2001, post: 961967, member: 6459"] Yeah, the Johnson offense often scored fast or picked up yards in a hurry. We remember this in the highlights - Dwyer faking a UGA defender out of his shoes going up the middle in 2008 for a TD after halftime, Roddy Jones running down the sideline later that game, Orwin Smith going for a billion yards a bunch of times, Days going for a long run to re-assert the lead in the Orange Bowl, etc... I understand why commentators would use "not built to score fast" as a talking point late in games, though, since it was less of a "call the long pass play" and more "execute perfectly and/or hope someone on D screws up" to unlock big gains. It was less in your control - if you throw four bombs in a row, you're very much either boom or bust, and less likely to end up with some yards but not enough. Bu IIRC the two-minute-drill was often pretty different, play-calling-wise, anyway. [/QUOTE]
