Official Game Day Thread - GT vs. Clemp Son's

[jdubjacket]

So the obvious question is, how does this affect our CFP ranking?

 

[Dirty Jacket]

I can think of two things:

1) There were three minutes left and we had three timeouts. With a 3-and-out we could have gotten the ball back with over two minutes left. But since we needed two scores that probably wasn't such a good idea.

2) He was supposed to pooch it past the first line but before the return man and he just kicked it too far.

I think #2 was actually the plan on that kick

If Marshall has a repeat performance against VT, I hope PJ is willing to pull the trigger sooner.

#div0?

 

[jdubjacket]

Yeah but SU was in it when he went out. They kept it close.

When we are outmatched at the line we don't really have any other gameplans to work around it. And we just keep running into a brick wall. I feel like we're better than Syracuse.

It's pretty simple: Venables knows how to defend the option and CPJ can't adjust to his defensive schemes.

Tennessee lost again.

I don't know how you gameplan for being outmatched at the line

It looks like he slants in the defensive lineman on the backside of the play. It also helps that Devine is big and slow and the guy coming through was about 5x faster.

Need to be able to option their DTs if you can’t block them

Hence, need moar midline

If the key to defending the option is to outmatch the line of scrimmage while having fast athletes that can get to corner quickly, then Venables is a genius.

When the QB is missing reads or just flat out making poor decisions it makes the blocking look worse than it was. Marshall had a really bad game

 

[ClydeBrick]

clemson is still a redneck school,

 

[jdubjacket]

Tennessee lost again.

Yeah but was it a quality loss?

 

[gtchief]

Tennessee lost again.

Kentucky beat the Vols and has a better record than us

 

[DressCheeseSideSeaboard]

Doodah.

That's the whole point of running the option.

Agree here.

We were getting our manhood taken at times upfront. when we did have something there, Marshall öööö his pants.

Teams do it all the time. Ask Syracuse.

Quick slants and screens are both ways of overcoming that. Set up draw plays for runs. Clear out linebackers and secondaries with tight ends, multiple receivers and slot guys running routes. Do whatever you can to move the point of attack from the other teams front four. None of those things are in our repertoire.

IMO that's CPJ's biggest weakness. It's obvious when the other team has it figured out, and we really have nothing else to go to. No quick passing game, slants, screens etc. Just more of the same.
