(from the other thread ...)
We're a spread option offense with a really fast quarterback who doesn't throw the ball well, so we spread the field to generate mismatches and space, and we run to that space. We use loaded formations and presnap motion to generate blocking numbers advantages on one side of the field, then we QB choice to that side of the field if they don't have the numbers, or QB draw if they do, and it's a QB presnap read. If they overload the side we've overloaded, we have the speed to turn reverses into big gains, and we use our second speedy runningback in the slot for this purpose.
The whole thing is built to minimize our deficiencies at OL, deficiencies that would assuredly cost us a game or two this year otherwise. And they still might, but at least this shotgun business helps.
The wide strongside pitch sets up the reverse. The motion sets up the QB Choice, which sometimes looks like a QB Draw to those without a trained eye. We ARE throwing to the TE, the RBs, and the FB. We ARE throwing over the middle, when Reggie sees it.
These are our problems:
OL penalties, and general poor OL play.
Our WRs have the dropsies.
Reggie is better at making reads, but still not great.
When's the last time Tech got 500 yards of total offense? Anybody know?
