Advice to \'Dores
How would I attack the GT defense?
I expect your coach will have a good game plan. He did a quality job at GSU.
The tricky thing about our defense this year is the new HC/coordinator. No one really knows what will or will not work against us.
Under O'Leary, I would have said attack our corners and slip people out to break tackles. Now I am not sure.
I would try a bit of everything, and see what does or does not work. Don't abandon your run game because I think we will be too tough if you are 1-dimensional. It is also a lot of mental pressure on your new QB. Make our LBs and safeties prove themselves.
Also, expect us to have enough speed and quickness to pressure your QB, despite returning a good pass pro offensive line. If you are not using the same blocking schemes as last year, your linemen may have problems in early games. Gathers will be a problem, as will our LDE rotation. I expect Coach Judy to throw a lot of blizes at your new QBs.
I expect our defense to have an opportunistic mindset, which means that you may be able to exploit overaggressiveness at times. Use misdirection, option, etc.
YOUR defense is more the key. Will they create turnovers or consistently pin your offense deep in its own territory?
However, bottom line, I don't think you have a chance. I think we have too many athletes, and I think Chan gives us pro-quality game planning and coaching.
