    When the option is run well it's not only complete football nirvana, but also fucking impossible to stop.

    The 5-2 says hi.

    Orange Bowl Study Hall: Georgia Tech 49, Mississippi State 34
    I'm still not sure people realize how good Georgia Tech was this year. The universal reaction after this game was "I can't believe State couldn't stop them! They had a month!" But the Jackets came into the game with the No. 1 offense in the country according to Off. F/+. In terms of F/+ ratings, they beat No. 5 Georgia, No. 9 Clemson, and No. 12 Mississippi State, and they lost to No. 10 FSU by two. They had down moments, sure, this was a damn strong team, one good enough offensively to overcome a decent but not amazing defense.

    MSU was still the higher-ranked team heading into the game, and the Bulldogs losing by 15 points was still obviously disappointing. (And it certainly fit into the "What the hell, SEC West?" narrative.) But let's make sure to pause and give Tech some respect here. The Ramblin' Wreck had a hell of a year.

    This really shocked me. I thought a defense like miss st. given three weeks to prepare would have more success defending the option.

    they would have if they were worth a shit. they're not, and did #2 in the SEC West.

    Race????? Race?????? RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE???????

    Fuck that. The Canes from 1980 - 2000 say hi. They shut down the best ever to do it, and they did so several times. A simple formula: have D linemen who are quicker and better than the guy in front of him, and linebackers who can fucking run sideline to sideline. Done.
