GT speed vs Navy speed

This is what I have been saying for a while now, our guys are "faster" than navy, but our execution makes us look soo slow.

Also, I am a fan of nesbitt, but I do expect to see faster QB's in the future for GT.

Man I can't wait for September...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you were a Navy fan before GT and "defected" with PJ? Or am I thinking of someone else.
 
God help our opponents if our athletes can run the plays that fast. That play by Kiapo looks beautiful.
 
Only reason those 2 plays have different outcomes is because of Nebitts' bumb ankles. Him being full healthy probably makes it a touchdown. That and Miami grabbed his freakin hand-warmer. That won't always be around as well...

However your point isn't wrong. Cause if we can almost match what Navy actually does with our execution speed, what happens when we hit their speed?
 
Nesbitt was pretty fast when we got him wasn't he? I'm pretty sure his injuries kept him from running full speed.
 
Am I missing something? Other than Kaipo's top speed, I don't see how their execution is much faster than ours? Can someone point me in the right direction? Perhaps its what the O-Line does?
 
Also remember that in the first video, they are playing Air Force who practices against a similar offense every week (although they do run more I-formation and WR reverses).
 
Also, that video is not sped up. Look at the clock; it is the right speed.

The big difference (it's between a half and full second, so pretty big, imo) is how long it takes the QB to make his decision and get to top speed. Kaipo's in full sprint before getting to the sideline, Nebitt doesn't turn it on til crossing the line of scrimmage.

Of course, a part of that is also how the defense was lined up across the line of scrimmage for them. Josh had to make a cut at about 6 or 7 yards, and Kaipo had open road.

No, I am the fan of the only NCAA D-I Six time National Champion in Georgia. :o

Isn't that delay caused by the mid-line option? Josh has to wait for Dwyer to bust up the gap to be his lead blocker. It looks like in the navy link, Kaipo just says "**** it" and goes around the tackle rather than up the middle where either the B-Back or center had punched through... :dunno:

He is very fast...just not as fast our our backs which is an unfair comparison...and he is not as quick as you see some folks. He ran a 4.58 at one of the combines going into his senior year of high school. His shuttle time was a 4.31.

I don't remember where it was suggested, but someone proposed that Dwyer stands further back than the B-Back did at Navy so that Nesbitt would have more time to make the decision, so perhaps there is something to it.
 
After watching the BC game, I came to the conclusion that over the course of the season, Nesbitt's top speed slowed drastically. His execution speed and actual executive improved even more dramatically, though.

Look like Kaipo leads the A back around the corner where Josh waited for the A back to get ahead of him to block. Josh's play look more like a design QB keeper where Kaipo still had the option to pitch if needed.

I think his physical slow down has more to do with the mass of injuries/tweaks he had throughout the year.

Hopefully this year we can see him running at full speed and executing even faster than last year...like Kaipo in the original video posted.
 
I think that sometimes the speed of the option is related to the set-up created by the offensive line and blockers. Nesbitt and our backs are definitely capable of running at that speed, but the play has to evolve in front of them. If the offensive line jumps and blockers know instinctively who to block, then that will free up the backs to fly.
