I think anyone that expects Tech to try to be something that they are not is very foolish. I agree that a little more passing would help off set the line backers from creeping up to the line of scrimmage to take away the run. But we will never be a 50% run / 50% pass team. That is not our style. But I really believe that a more balanced passing / run game for Tech is 70 % / 30%. The thing is the 30% has to be completed at a higher % than last year. Don't just throw when you have to and don't go for it all when you do pass. Some short crossing routes completed at a high percentage would be fine. Just accept Tech for what we are and that is a great running / ball control team that is Coached by in my opinion a brilliant football mind.
We didn't "just throw when we had to" for the last two years. Although many here complained about that, not understanding that the threat of a pass on any down is also critical to run success.
While our completion % was not what we would like, the YPA was high enough to keep the defense worried about giving up the big play.
