To add to that most blue chip football players in the SEC want to play in the pros and it's very rare that you see a triple option based offensive player get drafted. GT has taken a HUGE recruiting hit for its offense to be able to run this system and I doubt many other FBS want to take that risk.
Have they? Here are GT's recruiting rankings since 2002, recruiting classes signed under Paul Johnson in bold:
I don't think you will have any trouble finding your section. The seating diagrams can be a little tricky, but I don't think you will have any trouble once you get to the stadium. As long as you don't go up one of the big spiral ramps with a ticket that says EAST STANDS you will be fine.
now we're up to GSU scoring 20? shoot, by Saturday you guys will have them breaking their 0-18 streak against FBS teams
I imagine that includes Defensive players. The overall quality of Tech's offensive players has gone down the last few years. Both Josh Nessbitt, Demaryius Thomas, Johnathan Dwyer and even Georgia Southern's own Jaybo Shaw were all recruited during the Chan Gailey administration.
I'm sure it does include defensive players, and while I agree that multiple-option offenses don't offer NFL experience, the reality is that GT is recruiting better under CPJ than under the previous staff. That's all I'm saying.
Actually Jaybo Shaw was the first commitment that Johnson got when he took the GT job. The others were Gailey signees.
Yes they are better. What has been lacking is that real stud option QB. Thay might have him in Vad Lee, but you won't know until he hits the field in the spring. Johnson really likes to redshirt his QB so they can learn the system.
Could have swore Jaybo was red shirted Gailey last year. Could easily be wrong though.
Also do you have a link? Could have swore Gailey had a top 25 recruiting class in '04 or '03. Calvin Johnson alone should have made it a top 30 team.
Jaybo Shaw was part of the 2008 signing class - all Paul Johnson: http://rivals.yahoo.com/footballrecruiting/football/recruiting/commitments/2008/georgiatech-4
I hate to come to someone else's forum and nitpick but that is simply not true. It's an easy statement to make when your team is so much faster than ours but give me a team just as fast on offense as your D is and i'll take the O every time.There is a reason you don't see the option in the SEC or the pros. It's called speed. Bama will provide Ga Southern with that lesson Sat.
