No study has been done on it because it's flat out untrue that it causes more injuries. With all the *****ing and moaning our rivals do about our "dirty blocks", if we were causing more injuries than other teams it'd be researched and brought up every time. The one example I've seen people bring...

It's funny how people try to rag on our offense as a "gimmick" or "high school offense", but yet it forces defenses into a ridiculous amount of preparation if you don't want to get rolled over. If it was such a weak, gimmicky offense, you'd think it'd be easy to shut down. Face it, it's a legit...

As a Tech fan, I disagree that we need to run an offense like this, but it definitely helps. No matter what type of system we run we will always run up against limitations in recruiting (our academics will always be an issue for a lot of kids), so there is absolutely a benefit to using a system...

I'll just say you might be a bit surprised on that. Most of the defenses that have success against us tend to have an ultra-athletic MLB that is able to play further off the ball and has the speed/quickness to avoid blocks and chase plays down to the outside (Sean Spence at Miami a few years ago...

Mountain roads may not be as susceptible to flood, but they are very susceptible to getting washed out. After TS Irene hit NYC and got downgraded, the news was all talking about how it the danger was over and the worst had passed. Of course, while they were saying that, Vermont was getting...

Clemson has kind of owned us the last couple years (although they've kind of owned everyone in the Deshaun Watson era), but our record against them since 2008 (Johnson era) isn't half bad...we're 5-5 against them, including the win in the 2009 ACCCG. Against FSU, we're 3-2 under Johnson.

Delaying suspensions for the first game because it's a tough opponent shows 2 things: 1 - Winning is more imporant than maintaining discipline (bad look) 2 - You're scared of that first team (also a bad look) We kicked our 1st team (preseason) All-ACC running back off the team 2 weeks...

The "practice without the ball" thing is actually pretty common for our opponents, and probably helpful in re-training your defenders to not just fly to the ball like they're normally taught against virtually every other offense. Doing that against an option offense results in guys being out of...

Yup, a defensive player committing a penalty is dirty play by the offense. It reminds me of the common tactics we see thrown around by opposing fans for countering cut blocks (these are all quotes from your own board, btw, and not a single person challenged them): "You want the braces on your...

Hmm...you consider a play where a defender commits a penalty that puts himself in a position to be injured to be a dirty play by the offense? Interesting Btw the rule book specifically calls out that it's not a chop block if the defender engages an OL trying to get by him, that's defensive...

That's a fantastic way to get a DL injured, if that's what you're going for. In the GT offense, when an OL brushes by a DL to get to the next level, there's a good chance that another OL has responsibility for that man and may be getting ready to cut him. If you have your DL grab and hold up the...
