Official Gameday Thread: GT vs. Clemson

[savbandjacket]

Great f@)&ing play calls there. Have some vanilla ice cream.

We are running plays like we have the guys in the trenches to match up with Clemson. We don’t. We need to get outside because our linemen cannot push them back v

I don't understand running Gibbs into the stack on 4th and short like that. Gibbs needs space and who thought our OL would push Clemson's D back?

Just Patenaude

 

[gtfan088]

Still right call to go on on 4th.

No brainer to go for it. Just a very uninspiring play call that ended predictably.

I miss the Nesbit midline option

Careful, people will get mad

What a roller coaster, this game

At least there are upswings even if followed by lows!

Sims needed to put his foot in the dirt on second down and turn it. It was there.

 

[JJacket]

Why are we in the gun on 4th and 1...

öööö, I don't know. Tom Brady, Peyton, every QB in the league has a QB sneak. We apparently don't know the concept

Maybe just me, looked more like a read option play where Sims should of kept

Terrible call by Patenaude. 1 yd. to gain and you have your QB in the shotgun. Sims doesn't get a pass on 2nd down, running to sideline instead of north/south. Pitiful.

I don’t recall the midline or anything else option based being effective against Clemson in the last few years. IIWII or something.

Don't let the people here know, it distracts from criticizing the playcalling.

The two are intertwined. When you're at a talent deficit, it's that much more important that you keep the defense off balance.

We ran Sims outside two straight plays before that for nothing. It isn't like we aren't trying to get outside.

5 star DL matter.

 

[RussianOffense]

How can we turn every turnover into 7 points for Clemson

I was specifically addressing The 4th down play, but you’re right. We need to get some short passes to open up the rub which sound odd.

This 100%

... and Tennessee still sucks

#22 for us getting worked

The second quote kind of as answer to the first. There isn't any obvious easy answer to what plays we should run that will work.

Seems like we would have some misdirection in the gameplay.
