Title: I think about Georgia Tech . . .
Post by: sonofdaxjones on November 16, 2009, 01:48:16 PM: and I think back to BigJku's lengthy post on phognet about how you can't win in a "big time" conference running an option offense.

100% agree. Especially w/regards to recruiting. It's not like the triple-option has been "figured out", its simply had its talent base removed.

Post by: Special_K on November 17, 2009, 12:13:39 AM: That offense would dominate the Big XII, particularly in light of the trend in recruiting lighter, faster LBs and DBs to stop the spread. You don't see defenses like we used to put out on the field with a bunch of 6'2'' 245 Ibs. ILBs recruited for the sole purpose of stopping the option and power run games.
