UNC Schedule

Every team that beat us last season believes they have the TO figured out. Hell teams that lost to us but felt the need to comment on our losses say they have the TO figured out. I think next season will show that the TO isn't "figured out", it's countered the same as any offense. UNC and LSU had extra time to prepare for us and because they did well against our offense they "figured us out". It makes me wonder if these people ever realize that other offenses can be countered given extra time to prepare.

The other teams seem to respect us. VT in particular (they have a big thread where most say we are a, or even the, key game for them). One poster on the UNC board says they will be 4-0 easy (we are their fourth game). What's particularly bizzare about that is they play Virginnie and GSU after us at home so why wouldn't you say 6-0 easy?

The teams that lost to us think the LSU game film will show their coaches how to beat us. None of us want to admit that the possibility exists that that old school consultant LSU hired has (and that others might have) some answers on how to slow down PJ's system. UGA fans are clearly clinging to that, and if there is any truth to the Ray Lamb anecdote, it is unlikely that UGA will come into our game next year so undisciplined. Nor will MSU for that matter.
 
I freely admit that GT, like any other team, can be stopped, but it would be foolish for any team to think they can just do what LSU did and that will equal success. I guarantee PJ has already modified some things to ensure nobody beats us the way LSU did.

What, like run the ball more, learn to block, and don't fake punts inside your own 20 in the first half?

:laugher: That was funny, but I do have confidence in our coach. He'll make adjustments, and I don't think we've implemented but about 1/2 of our offense so far. Last year was a learning year. This year we've got some experience and will be able to execute better and do some more things. Next year we should have a really special team.
 
Sorry to tell you guys this, but we have been figured out. The secret formula is below:

-Recruit defenders that are NFL calibur size/speed at every position
-Teach them for 1 month on their responsiblities
-Motivate them by losing 4 games they shouldn't have
-Get a 21-3 lead, so you can umbrella (no big plays)
-Have every break go your way

There it is. Hopefully none of our opponents have ST memberships. Also, do not cut/copy/paste this thread, we dont want our secret kryptonite to get out!
 
I think we can't say anything in particular will work great against the option. The only team to really make our offense suck this season was LSU. That loss wasn't exclusively because of our offense either. Also, could it be because LSU had a month to prepare and that such things would help against any offense? I can also see LSU playing in the Georgia Dome in Nov/Dec, so we can't say we got beat by an inferior team.

Oh wait....other than the 21-3 lead, isn't that what Florida did to Oklahoma. Maybe the formula works for all offenses. Maybe talent, gameplan, execution and luck are what stop any offense? I may be on to something here?
 
I'm not so sure UVA didn't stop our O (more or less) but I do try to black out bad thoughts. And they do not have NFL caliber players everywhere or a month to prepare or a big lead.

LSU coaches had a month to prepare. The ACC coaches will spend several months on PJ's O for sure. The problem for them will be the limited practice time. I don't see how anyone other than Clemson will be able to spend anywhere close to the (IIRC) ~fourteen practices LSU had to stop the option.

I do expect UGA to spend close to that on the option however if you consider spring and fall. Murray (sp?) may even be a great scout team QB for them to use to prepare for us.

Disagree...playing a hard schedule as an ACC team does not matter period.

If you are undefeated you play in the BCS championship.

If you have one loss you play in the Orange Bowl.

Should the non-ACC Champion have only one loss (highly unlikely) they will not get the at-large BCS bid...only teams from the SEC, Big 12, Pac 10, and Big 10 are given at-large BCS bids.

In summary...there are only two things that are in important for an ACC that wants to go to the BCS.

Either:
A) Win the ACC Championship
B) Go undefeated

I disagree. An ACC team who schedules 2 D-II teams (and happens to go undefeated) has...MAYBE...a 50% shot at reaching the MNC game.

This schedule is weak as hell.

Only once in eleven years of the BCS has an undefeated team from a BCS conference NOT made the BCS Championship Game.

That happened in 2004 when SoCal, Oklahoma, and Auburn.

So...simply setting your schedule and goal to go undefeated in a BCS conference give you your BEST CHANCE at going to the BCS Championship Game.

In any case where the ACC is one of three undefeated teams in the same year (highly unlikely)...there is NO WAY the ACC team gets in over an SEC, Big 12, Big 10, or Pac10 team...never never...regardless of how hard the OOC schedule is because the country looks down on the ACC schedule itself.

Again...you want to play the odds...make sure you go undefeated...it is that simple Any other scenario is an extremely low probability.

I think we had 8 drives vs Uva:

3 scoring drives
2 fumbles on the mesh (1 on uva's 5yd line) after marching into Uva territory
2 punts
1 Int on last play of the game

So Uva "STOPPED" us on 2 out of 8 drives.
 
Do you really believe what you are writing?

The third scoring drive was 10 yards on 8 plays for a FG. That sounds like a stop. The second scoring drive was a 2 play 45 yard drive.

Our drives were
11 plays for 73 yards (very nice) 2 for 45 (nice) 3 for 2, 7 for 16, 6-31, 6-17, 6-38, 8-10 and 8-22.

Our total yardage was 259 yards and only 156 on the ground. We had three turnovers but so did UVA. We started in UVA territory three times and they never started in GT territory.

We averaged 5.6 per rush in 2008 and only 3.8 vs UVA. If teams do that we could be in trouble.

Sorry my brain is slightly fried from the long work week but i'll try this... A quote from Teddy Craft a WR from Georgia Southern. R.I.P.

"If everyone does their assignments, nobody can stop us. The only people that can stop us is (Georgia Tech)."

I'm not entirely disagreeing with you, but it wasn't just UVA that was beating us that game. The most glaring thing I saw in that game was that we weren't playing smart, and it looked like we didn't really come up with a strategy for that game.

Please provide an example in the 11 years of the BCS where there were no more than two undefeated teams from a BCS conference (this happened in 10 of the 11 years)...and the undefeated team did not go to the championship.
