We have the most exciting offensive scheme in college football

What it wasn't was "exciting". Duke's athletic talent is equal to ours: Duke ain't Clemson.

Yet time and again, they put 8+ in the box, dared us to throw, and we'd try to run it with predictable, boring results.

The offense is exciting vs cupcakes and no one else and then only if you enjoy lots of FB dives and QB keepers.

I agree it was horrible today. I just don't know enough about what to look for on the field to say its the system rather than something else.

TBH, I've never been satisfied with any explanations for the wild swings in our performance. Throughout CPJ's tenure we've gone from perfect games to atrocious ones, and the level of 'talent' on the other side of the ball is almost never the explanation. Great talent is why we couldn't move the ball against Iowa. It's not why we couldn't move the ball against MTSU.

nope. Too many games like today to call it 'exciting'.

We just need to schedule more BGs and Loservilles. We won't compete with the Dukes of the ACC anymore as long we keep trotting out this predictable QB Keeper non-throwing garbage. Duke was ripe to be thrown against but CPJ refuses to adjust a thing. It's stupid, arrogant, stubborn, and boring AF.
 
Maybe there is something to a good coaching staff seeing the offense for 10 years instead of being TO gimmick virgins. Duke knows it.

The most obvious explanation is that teams (and coaches) that have played us a few times and prepare for us regularly are much better at shutting us down.

Our offense does really well when we have a talent advantage or the other team isn’t well prepared for us.

When we don’t have either of those, it becomes a fairly average offense, where our output is dependent on our and our opponents’ execution.
 
Maybe it’s lacking a quarterback that can throw or putting the quarterback in a situation where he doesn’t drop back with his back to the line of scrimmage. Or anything resembling a passing game. If you burn them they ya e to respect it. If you can’t burn them they don’t.

That doesn't mean a whole lot. Every offense in the entire world does really well with a talent advantage or unprepared opponent.

Were you the guy wearing the yellow construction helmet today in 106?
 
Very, very exciting O.

Especially when 20 year olds play against high school quality D’s

Well, that’s my point. The offense is as good or bad as pretty much every decent offense. However, it does give us a significant edge when the opponent is underprepared. I’m on the record saying that I think Tech fans pay too much attention to the offense which is neither great nor terrible but just happened to have a really smart coach running it.

I’ve never really felt CPJ’s edge lay in the offense. His edge lay in his experience and ability to respond to whatever situation arose. The 3O happens to be the offense through which he expresses his skill but it could have been a traditional offense as well, where the difference would be that with CPJ, if the defense couldn’t stop the pass he’d pass every play or run every play if they couldn’t stop that, without trying to keep “balance”.

I wasn’t at the game so that couldn’t have been me.
 
If only any recruits or the people of Atlanta believed this then we would be cooking with gas!

I'm surprised to hear that. What does your font name mean? I assumed it was something personal, but there was a guy at the game yesterday not too far from me wearing a bright yellow construction helmet that had "rghoae" written on in it in big white letter stickers (along with 'to hell with georgia' and other fan-specific stuff).
 
It’s because our offense is like a Rube Goldberg and even the slightest piece being out of alignment causes the whole thing to fail and a glass marble to shatter your kitchen window or a colander to fall on your dog.

That’s what our offense is. It’s CPJ stacking dominos and golf tees and playing with them to have them just right. When they aren’t it sucks and no one wants to watch.
 
It is only exciting when it breaks off long runs or actually completes a pass. Teenage kids don't care to watch it or play it or against it.
 
The other problem is that we have the equivalent of a FCS roster (top tier FCS) and we are playing FBS teams. It looks about when the top FCS teams play FBS teams - we have a punchers chance but more often than not end up coming up short.

Duke has co-defensive coordinators, both in their first year at that position. They have been on Duke's staff for a few years in another capacity. They did a pretty good job stopping us, being rookies. The indictment is that Duke has better players than we do. They have recruited better athletes than Tech for several years now and it is glaringly obvious. We have not recruited well for many years, but we weren't getting beaten by Duke or Virginia, or Pittsburgh on a regular basis until recently.
