JohnboyND7 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 1.) Georgia Southern no longer runs the triple option. 2.) Georgia Tech is rarely relevant and has never won a national championship. 3.) The last time the military schools were effective at winning national championships with that offense, we were just finishing winning a war against Germany. There is a reason national championship teams no longer use it. Defenses are far faster and athletic than before and can effectively manage it. When teams use that offense and fall behind, it hard to come from behind. You have to be extremely deep and athletic at every position on the field in order to be effective with it. Ah that's right, they switched to a new offense. Pardon. Georgia Tech doesn't win championships but it is not the offenses fault. They wouldn't win with any offense. And while the service academies aren't competing for championships, they seem to do just fine putting points on the board. They could run any offense, they can't win. Georgia Southern proved at the very least it can be effective at this level of football. They ran up and down the field on NDSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jdub27 Posted July 16, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2015 If his team had not had horribly bad luck to significant players, you could be talking about a national title in 2000 and 2001. Weird how when it happens to any other team, it is considered "part of the game". It happens to NDSU, it is nothing but "horribly bad luck". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could run any offense, they can't win. Georgia Southern proved at the very least it can be effective at this level of football. They ran up and down the field on NDSU. Football teams' offense, defense and special teams are not played in a vacuum, they affect each other. So to say Georgia Tech doesn't win championships, but it's not the offenses fault is flawed logic IMO. It's because of the offense that they will never be a serious contender for the national championship. Sure you can put up points, but it takes time and you have in most cases no passing game. If a veer team is trying to come from behind, the game is essentially over in most cases. Having the "3 yards and a cloud of dust" type of offense has it's advantages. Keeps your defense fresh, controls the TOP, but it's fatal flaw is it's lack of consistently being able to pick up explosive type plays(over 20 yards). When a veer team is getting consistently tackled for losses, which can happen a lot if they run up against an assignment sound team, they are constantly "off schedule". Veer teams don't have a lot of high percentage plays for converting a 3rd and long. None of this mentions the ultimate fatal flaw of this offense, especially in today's game, recruiting. Players want to play in a pro style, multiple type offense. They want to be able to showcase their talents in a way that has NFL scouts taking notice. Good luck trying to recruit quality receivers who will spend 90% of their career as glorified full backs.(Megatron was an anomoly) Everyone who has had criticisms of the veer/option offense is absolutely correct IMO.

You caught that too, if our players didn't get hurt we still would've been a bad team and won a few games (Bison logic) but if Bison players didn't get hurt they could win the Super Bowl. Good comedy coming from these Bison folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no reason it can't be successful, particularly at the FCS level. Just because NDSU abandoned it doesn't mean it's this awful offensive system.

Mind telling us who the best team NDSU has played against in the championship years has been? Honestly, the best team NDSU has played in the most recent championship run was Illlinois state in the championship last year. The only thing Georgia southern proved in that game against NDSU in the semifinals was Jerrick McKinnon was the best player on the field that day. If the system was what gave NDSU fits, what happened the year before when NDSU completwly shut them down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'd have beat Illinois state but that's another worthy team. Difference of opinion is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another honest question, how is the running game going to adjust with life without Crockett? Sure you have guys that can step up and be serviceable or more. But Crockett was the best runningback in school history. How much is that going to affect the Bison running game, and in turn affect the entire offense?

How much is that going to affect the Bison running game, and in turn affect the entire offense? Crockett was a very good running back, but he wasn't ten feet tall. People forget that Sam Ojuri outgained Crockett every year of Crockett's career other than 2014. They didn't miss Ojuri much in 2014, and they won't miss Crockett all that much this year. Truthfully, with Frazier, Morlock, and Lance Dunn, they might even be a little better overall at the RB position. They're certainly deeper .
