that's like saying (for a game against TT):
stop the pass = victory ... we have 3 weeks to learn to stop the pass
... the reason GT doesn't pass the ball much is that we don't have to. and the one interception during the U(sic)GA game was a hail mary right before the end of the first half, so not really indicative of performance.
Don't you think if LSU was able to have a RB get 200+ yards with an average of over 16/ carry in a game, they would just keep running and not pass?

That's really a poor example.
We routinely stop riding the hot RB in lieu of a fresh RB. We also like to mix in the pass when we can run it anytime just to keep defenses honest.

this thread is the epitome of "ranter" and proves in every way shape and for that most "rantards" have no fricking clue what they're talking about.
"They're one dimensional so we can beat them!!"
I didn't even read the whole thread. Someone HAD to have said "the triple option would never work in the SEC!"

No, that's the last thing we would do. We much prefer to have a RB get about 100 yards in the first half and put us in the lead, then not give him a single carry in the second half while we blow the lead and lose.

Ga Tech = ONE DIMENSIONAL
QB Josh Nesbit - 46/99 for 658 yds, 2TDs, 4INTs
Out of the 46 completions, 36 have been completed to Demaryius Thomas.
All GT Running Backs Combined - 600 carries for 3388 yds, 5.6 YPC, and 32 TDs
stop the run = victory...we have 3 weeks to learn to stop the option
TRY TELLING THAT TO THE 9 TEAMS THAT LOST TO GT.....

IMO, this is the worst matchup....except maybe Texas Tech, that we could have drawn.
We the way we have played on D most of the year, it will be embrassing what GT does to us. I see 600 yards of offense on the horizon if we don't make a serious change......whjich we haven't done all year.

We will either play a soft zone and get burned on the ground, or stack the line and blow our coverages after we bite on play action. It's gonna be a long day. Our defense couldn't stay home if it were on house arrest.

The TRIPLE option is far from one dimensional.
I'll agree with that ... so what if it's all statistically in rushing yards. It is designed to keep the defense off balance, which is what a good mix of pass and run does too.
A similar situation would be a team that mixes up screens, shuffle passes, and downfield passes. It all ends up as passing yards, but if you execute all three well, the defense can be easily confounded by it.
Point taken!

A few more "tidbits" for you to consider:
