Paul Johnson took over Georgia Tech this year and implemented his SYSTEM with players that WEREN'T EVEN RECRUITED with his system in mind. They went 9-3 in his first year. They rushed for an average of 283 yards per game and passed for an average of 95 yards per game.
And here are the Georgia Tech linemen, for those of you who claim youth and inexperience with the linemen was the major problem with the Colorado offense:
LT- a freshman!! replaced a senior toward the end of the season
LG-junior
C-junior
RG-freshman!!
RT- a sophomore!! replaced a senior toward the end of the season
That is 2 juniors, 1 sophomore and 2 freshman starters for cryin' out loud in their last 3 games. Two of those games they RUSHED for more than 400 yards.
That is a system. On the other hand, for 3 years the Colorado
offense has looked like playground plays are drawn up in the dirt in the parking lot next to the practice fields from week to week.
The haphazard hybrid shotgun put in for this year did not work.
Will we see some type of system next year? Perhaps starting with a sound running game is in order. Then work into a passing game that uses the entire field and all of the weapons. Can "one of the brightest young offensive minds in the country" come up with a system? I think he can if he is capable of learning and getting better. I'm waiting.
What do you folks say who think this haphazard hybrid shotgun offense will work so well next year? Keep up drawing playground plays in the parking lot or develop a system? A system that includes running the football and passing all over the field.
