The option play.

BLACK WATCH · Sep 5, 2003

With Auburn's team speed being very fast..It probably would not be successful..I remember playing Miami in the Gator Bowl..They ate Lil Joe up. The option didnt work when we ran it that game.....Teams with great speed tend to stuff the option....

That's right, but some keep clamoring for it. It's not part of any package right now. Was not in the BYU plan, and wont be until later. But it can keep an aggressive team off balance just like we would do vs. FSU in the Freidgen days. Ball is a freshman and has a lot to learn and option is not as easy at it looks.

Somebody with a better memory remind me, when did the option become part of the package with JoeHam? I don't remember it being in right off the bat. I know the wishbone set didn't really appear until his jr year. Ralph was always adding stuff as our ability to handle it progressed, I would assume any OC does the same. Assuming Chan is still here and Ball is the QB in 2 years I would predict our offense will look quite different than it does now. You can't install everything all at once.

We are in agreement. Actually, Ralph's offense was VERY different when he came back to GT in '97 from the pros than it was during the Ross years. The traditional option was used a lot more with Shawn Jones than Joe Hamilton, but Ball reminds me more of Shawn Jones than Hamilton anyway. We'll see, but you do have to have experience running it and we dont, so I wouldnt really run it unless we are near the goal line where Ball runs it but doesnt have the option to pitch (because of it being prone to turnovers.)It should be a play where he uses his athleticism to get in the end zone. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RUN RIGHT AT THEM. THat's about the only option I would have in.

You comparing Auburn to Miami? Give me a break will you. This tendency to have our opposition overblown, our coaching overblown, and the willingness to put up with both by the majority of Georgia Tech fans on this board...(hoping the influential fans of Tech that have no desire to participate in these discussions feel otherwise)...blows my mind, the shot coming from this board that my brain is already blown...is an opinion you are entitled to.

excuse me?? this coming from the genius who compares starting a sophomore to a true freshman? who literally compares starting a sophomore with a TRUE freshman? a TRUE FRESHMAN?

GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE! (or your Harley .. whatever the case may be)

Compare practice reports from you and others, then reread my thread from practice and see who hit the bullseye buddy and then get back to me.

you know what .. you have totally lost any credibility that you might have garnered in my eyes regarding your acumen of football (not that it matters anyways, to you or me) by comparing the first start of a sophomore with a true freshman.

you claim to be a great high school fan .. go talk to your favorite high school's head coach and ask him about comparing the first start of a sophomore in college and the first start of a true freshman in college and share what that coach thinks about it with me "buddy".

my analysis regarding what? for your information .. i have NEVER analyzed any practice or any game. i don't know what the HADES you are talking about. what analysis did i give regarding fall practice that you are alluding to?

you fell off your harley and hit your head hard or something?

what did you say regarding your one trip down to watch practice that you think you hit the bulls eye? the one practice you attended was when reggie ball had one of his worst practice the whole fall.

you think you are qualified to comment on a true freshman by watching one measly practice? never seen him play before .. you come down on your harley and with what you regard your pedigree of football knowledge and watch a true freshman in practice and you can "analyze" and start hitting "bull's eyes"?

you're full of hot air and i don't think anyone appreciates you letting it out on stingtalk.

does anyone agree with this harley riding football expert's comparison of a true freshman with a sophomore? anyone?? bueller? bueller? i mean ANYONE?

Ylojk8: When the seasons and Beau Bock and Coleman Rudolph look a lot smarter than you, will you come off your high horse? Doubt it but just had to ask. Maybe you should buy a Harley and maybe a breeze will blow some common sense into you.

What does Bock the Jock or the red nosed Rudolph have anything to do with comparing a true freshman quarterback's start with a sophomore's start?

what are the odds that Bock and Rudolph will agree with me that there is NO comparison between a true freshman QB starting and a sophomore QB starting?

what are the odds that those two highly knowledgeable people with absolutely no agenda (yeah right!) will think that the person who compares a true freshman QB with a sophomore QB in their first respective starts is an idiot?

maybe i should buy a harley so that i can go for a ride and enjoy the breeze after getting hit by the stinkbombs that you dump in this place statelinejacket!

By the way if you and others had read thru the thread you would have found someone finally understood the point I was making. nathogt realized that the Colorado coaches did'nt focus on their true sophmores inexperience and allowed him to do what was neccessary and within his ability to win the game. I am pretty sure Coleman, Bock, and coaches all across Georgia as well as mine at Dalton will understand that point whether you do or not.

i am pretty sure that you do not realize the extent of the difference in degrees of inexperience in a true freshman and a sophomore.

i really really like my odds that any coach worth his salt including the coach at dalton will find it ridiculous that someone will compare the inexperience of a true freshman starting his first game with the inexperience of a sophomore starting his.

a true freshman who has had less than 30 practices and a sophomore who has been with the team a full year and has seen playing time as a back up.

even mark bradley will find the above comparison RIDICULOUS!

Ylojk8: Philip Rivers, true freshman...started every game and completed 237 out of 441 passes for 3054 yards with 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Completed 29 of 57 passes for 397 yards and 3 touchdowns in his first start which was also N.C. States opening game of the year. Psst....Don't tell anyone but Rivers was a true freshman.

statelinejacket at least you have found two apples to compare and are not comparing apples and oranges at this point.

even though the two apples have different colors, different flavors, grow on different trees, got picked by different men .. at least they are both apples.

psst: don't tell anyone that you compared the first start ever of a true freshman with that of a sophomore .. they'll think that you are an idiot. oops too late.

I got a suggestion for one you can use: Stephenson High School coaches are the blame....If only they had more in their playbook last year than for Reggie Ball to pitch the football back to the left or right to Kregg Lumpkin (Georgia freshman now) or toss the football out to the side to T.J. Gartrell (coaches son who is also at Georgia). They are the blame for Coach Gailey having to go so slowwwwwwww in table spoon feeding the offence to his quarterback. Or how about this one Ylo: Chan Gaileys Jackets don't play a game that counts until August 2005! Between now and then Tech is only going to be playing pricy exibition games (11 or 12 a year) to work the kinks out of the playbook that Reggie has to memorize. You know like the off tackle hand off, or how to run the draw play. Hard stuff. Yea Ylo....you got all day and most of the night to dream up your Coach Gailey is the best coach for Tech and you are an idiot stateline excuses.
