[QUOTE="TheGridironGeek, post: 120557, member: 1898"] I agree that Coach Johnson made the right moves, my point is that MSU did give the Tech offense some problems, and at least they had a bold plan even if it wasn't the best one. In my limited experience around coaches, none would sit there during a game and say "we'll lose if we don't change this, so let's don't change it, derp." They're not retarded. My opinion is that the Bulldogs felt like they were having success busting up Rocket Sweep and the occasional option toss for big losses, and when Tech ran up the middle they were getting less yards per play vs. pitches and QB keeps, so State decided to keep looping outside and gamble that A) GT would eventually go outside again at the wrong time (see 4th quarter of Georgia game), B) MSU's athletes on the DL would rise up and stop the fullback regardless of the #s/angles disadvantage, or C) there would be a fumble. We'll never know what they were actually thinking and it was probably a flawed concept yes, but remember this is an all-time great offense they were trying to defend. From time to time, there are offenses so powerful that D-coordinators will concede 5-7 yards a pop to them under certain circumstances and just hope for a break. [/QUOTE]
