Southern was still split 60 back in 85 and 86. I don't think they could have afforded to fly to Miami that early into the program. Didn't go to 4-3 until 88 under Mike Healey, as far as I remember.
Because I talked to him about it.
Southern also was running the I back in 84.

Regardless, PJ hasn't had a passer of Tracy's capability at Tech. But those are hard to come by. JT was probably the best. Tevin didn't have Nesbitt's or Tracy's arm strength but was capable of running the offense. Tracy wasn't a burner but ran well. He wasn't a gone in a flash guy like JT or Greg Hill.
Tracy was good at turning a bad play into a great play. He dropped the snap a bunch. One of the first things said in the huddle was almost always, "Tracy, don't drop the snap!"
Picking another QB to run PJ's offense (and not Vince Young. Not with his wonderful Wonderlic score), I think I might choose Tommie Frazier. If I was going to take a pure option QB, I'd take Jamelle Holieway.

GSU ran the I in 84 and then ran a mix of the "I " with the Spread in the first 2 games of 85, but then completely switched to PJ's Spread Triple Option system..

You "might" be right about the defensive switch but the DC and 2 staff members payed for there own flight to Miami.

Your right Dis, & Rainbow,both Offense and defensive play need to be good to compete.
I'm sorry that PJ has not had the consistency that GT needs to keep you in the top 10 each year, but he has done it before & with the right staff, a good defense, great offense, a nd just a few Super stars, I think he will be able to.

Dis-Respect & Rainbow Brite- Erk does not need to be resurrected for GSU to return to greatness, but some lessons could be learned from his coaching.
Your constant use of Quod “O”s in your posts to me , to represent profanity, is stupid. Then again you are of a simple mind.


Erk's first GSC Defensive & Change to the 4-3
When Erk first came to GSU he installed his Junk Yard Dog Defense that he used during his stay at UGA in the SEC. The SEC during his time there was heavily run oriented and his defense was one of the top ratted defenses in the SEC. In 1984 his defensive Coordinator, at GSC, and some his defensive staff flew down to the University of Miami to review the 4-3 with Miami's defensive coaches. Erk didn't know about the trip until they came back. The GSU defensive Coordinator met with Erk and talked him into going with the 4-3 to increase pass defense. Erk gave them permeation to install the 4-3 at GSC.

One of the Great things about Erk was that he was flexible and believed in his DC & OC.

Why Erk change from the I/Power I Triple Option to PJs Spread Option
At the same time PJ and the then Offensive coordinator in ,1984, flew out to Texas and 2 other states to look at the Run & Shoot and several other offensive
systems.. (Erk did know about that trip.) Erk would not go with a Pass happy offense like the Run & Shoot. He wanted to stay with the triple option. In a compromise PJs Spread Triple Option Attack using basically a Passing formation, single Full back behind the QB under center, 2 slots back and 2 wide outs. Erk also allowed a simple Run & Shoot be added to the base play action passing attack. The spread option spread the defense a lot better and increased the threat to the defense with 2 extra receivers near the line. A Slot in motion also set up the offense better for counter plays.

What are Quod “O”s? Do you mean umlaut Os?

I politely disagree with a man that knows his stuff. Tracy was a burner and was quick on his feet.
