One of the keys to Clemson’s success against Tech…
Clemson spent a week working on Georgia Tech’s offense during its August practices. The result: a 27-13 win in which the Yellow Jackets were held to 325 yards in offense.
Virginia Tech did the Tigers one better, with some of its coaches travelling to Iowa this summer to pick the brains of its coaches. The Hawkeyes defeated the Yellow Jackets in the Orange Bowl, 24-14, holding them to 155 yards.
“Well we’ve respected how they play defense for a number of years, and of course they played Georgia Tech in their bowl game so it kind of had a dual purpose there, getting together and talking a little bit, of course talking about Georgia Tech somewhat too,” Beamer said.
Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said, with the exception of defensive coordinator Al Groh visiting Bill Belichick, none of his coaches visited any other campuses during the summer because there wasn’t any reason. That’s because, with the exception of Navy, no one else runs Tech’s offense.

it’s because i hang on your every word……..still think allthis study was how to stop a player, not a system, & CPJ should play a game & not politics & adjust personnel as ruthlessly as necessary-lot’s of loyal people have lost stuff by not doing what was needed….

Clemson’s biggest key was that they were playing Tech!! You guys are terrible!!! On a side note way to come through there with the intellegent athletes y’all recruit…48% graduation rate, pathetic. Inferior athletes and inferior students, but hey at least they dont get arrested…or win games!!! You guys suck!!!!!!

Defensing Tech is simple…put 8 in the box and don’t worry about the pass. Joshua can’t
hit a bull in the hind-end with a base fiddle.Tech throwing a pass is a wasted down…..they surely can’t pick-up 10 yards in 2 running plays.
Let’s face facts Tech fans, we’re looking at a 6-6 season and another loss in some obscure bowl.

This offense is awesome when it works, but it hasn’t worked all year. It’s so frustrating to watch some times. 8 games in the season and Tech still doesn’t look any better than they did against SC State.

This started late last year. Look how we’ve done since the ga game?
The coaching is bad, the playing is bad. How many years does this offense have to sputter before a change is needed?

You don’t have to surf gager blogs if you want to look at stupid comments. They come here. 4 and 4 and suddenly they own a piece of the NC! The only ones they have beat is the worst of the worst. And they will beat lowly UF this weekend and cry because they don’t get invited to the Sugar Bowl. So you got Clemson using a whole week to study up for Tech, VT taking a week off to get ready for Tech, and who else? Oh yeah, chicken Richt, who all ya’ll hated three weeks ago, is taking the week off before Tech! What a bunch of pansies! Go Jackets, and THWG-

Amazing how people panic back and forth. Simple story — the offense works when the pieces are in place and when the defense does not have sufficient time to prepare (that is its main weakness). This year, Tech does not have the pieces it had in earlier years, especially on the O-line, and that is the end of the story, because the O-line problem trumps everything — loss of Dwyer and Bay-Bay and Nesbitt’s passing ability (due to pressure). As for the preparation time, that can be fixed, too, by adding a few wrinkles, but it is hard to do that with the pieces currently in place.

Bud Foster may have spent several days in Iowa during the summer, but I don’t think he brought Adrian Clayborn, Karl Klug, Christian Ballard, and Broderick Binns back to Blacksburg with him.
I don’t think VT has a DL as good as Da’Quan Bowers either.
Defensive scheming is fine but it helps when you have DL’s as good as those guys.

What are you guys on? The Dawgs were seen in Shreveport less than 12 months ago and are not exactly headed somewhere else this year.

“mrb – good point. I will give Gailey credit with one super year of recruiting, probably the best we have ever had. Even then, it wasn’t as good as UGA’s on an average year. These things matter. We’ve NEVER been able to out recruit UGA or the other football factories. CPJ is a good guy for us, because his system lends it’s self to ‘doing more with less’. We need a system guy like CPJ to work a little magic with smoke and mirrors. He kicked ass for us for two years and we are down this year due to a lot of things, but let’s not get on the cpj should go bandwagon…that’s crazy. The man has won more than anyone ever almost at Tech. yes Gailey had ONE stellar year of recruiting, but that’s not enough to go toe to toe with schools who consistently out recruit you……………unless you work a weird system like CPJ. Trust.”

The magic of Johnson which is really just good coaching is he learns from what others do to him. Now when Beamer showed up looking for coaching tips I am sure he had to give a few himself. That is probably why Boise State beat them. There are no friends in college football. Tommy Bowden calling Alabama a few years back after Alabama beats Clemson was all over the news before Bowden hung up. The fact is ACC teams are looking at angles on how to beat Tech and like a baseball batter there has to be adjustments made by Johnson, to off set adjustments made by other teams. I think one of those adjustments is to have a better defense. That apparently is not an overnight thing as Georgia is finding out. Navy had to get a better defense they did it. It was their defense that beat Wisconsin last year not there offense. Stick around Johnson will show you a few things.

Get real people………….Iowa & Clemson beat GT because the defensive lines for each team dominated our offensive line!
The offensive scheme does not matter if your offensive line is completely dominated by the opponents defensive line (Regardless of the scheme).
All of this talk about teams “having extra time to prepare” and “knowing how to stop the triple option” is absolute nonsense!!
Five teams with extremely large & athletic defensive linemen have beaten GT over the past three years (and there were 5 games when GT gave the game away due to turnovers, poor special teams & missed assignments). Offensive scheme had very little do do with all 10 of these losses. The teams who dominated GT were NC (2008), LSU (2008) {BTW – LSU had exactly 10 yards more offense than GT in the game…..turnovers and special teams doomed GT in the Chick-fil-a Bowl!} along with Iowa, Kansas & Clemson this season. Complete a little research and think about these topics before you make rash judgements about the Triple Option.

I will enjoy Florida beating UGA, but UGA will stomp us this year. They have a bye week to prepare and any team that has time to prepare for PJ’s option seem to shut it down. Kansas – what the hell? We have only lost to unranked teams this year. Fire Coach PJ; his arrogance that his system is perfect and can work against anybody is bringing us down. It’s his 3rd year and he has HIS players. What is the excuse? I guess we can continue to be content in being mediocre.

Florida is a joke this season but i bet they will still beat you guys for the 19th time in the last 22. Auburn, forget about it and chalk that into the loss column buddy. I don’t know if GT will beat uga or not but it will be close as all but 1 have been in the last decade (51-7). The rest of the games were decided in the 4th quarter and i expect this to be the same. If you do lose to GT and we finish around 5th or 6th in the Acc, then what does that say about your CRAPPY program’s direction?

All of this smack talking is funny. Neither GT nor UGA are that good this year. I must say that UGA is really on a roll beating Tenesse, Vanderbilt and Kentucky. If those schools were on our schedule and we beat them you would claim that we had only beaten the lesser SEC teams. Figuring out the scheme and time to prepare is funny. It comes down to the players. The team with the best players usually win. You can lose due to injury, turnovers, and ill-timed penalties even if your players are not as good. VT lost to JMU which should never happen. That alone gives us a chance against VT.
As far as the graduation rate for the football teams, I am curiious how they compare to the overall student body. GT is hard. It was harder than medical school.

The I option allows for more pass plays and play action . You can have up to 3 receivers on the filed with the I-option. Not really and “option” with the triple option.

@ashamedjacket – Some interesting analysis here, with play diagrams:
“11/19 Dive This calls the give to the fullback on this option. For years Osborne said Nebraska didn’t run trile option, but instead, called handoff and keeps in the huddle. Since 1997 I’ve suspected that the Huskers have experimented with some triple option.”
“11/19 Veer This may be the call used to indicate the QB will read the handoff to the fullback for a triple option. This call is heard in A Day in the Life of Nebraska Football and a FB dive is run on the video. Nebraska is running at least a little triple option. Whether this call has something to do with it or not is just a guess.”

Let me make myself clear…the triple option works; but not when that is the only formation you EVER show. Nebraska primarily ran the I-option, but would also set up in shotgun, wing option, and yes even a form of the triple option. PJ is so convinced his system will work regardless of what the defense shows he will run it even if the opposing team has 9 in the box. This is simply stubborn and will not work week to week. Yes, he will continue to win more than lose, but he will be exposed for being foolish

Ashamedjacket….have you EVER even watched a Tech game? You are embarrasing yourself. Tech lines up in CPJ’s standard Triple O maybe 50 percent of the time, thats it. They also line up offset left, offset right, A back stacked left or right, WR and A back stacked, shotgun, A or B back in motion, and many more formations.
Techs issues are thus: Blocking on the perimeter. Last year AA and Bebe were usually making the big blocks with a good dose of Roddy Jones, now with Bebe gone and AA as the b back, people are not adjusting to the learning curve as they should. Offensive line has had maybe 6 different set-ups in 8 games due to injury. I believe CPJ overstated when he was speaking of pure depth, our offensive line hasnt gotten into any kind of rhythem. Our wide recievers and A backs have dropped SO many balls its beyond ridiculous. Nesbitt still only throws a good pass maybe 1 out of every 2 times. Doug had a pretty good blog about it a few days back. Missed assignments, missed blocks, blocking the wrong person. There are coaching issues yes, and then there are player issues. No leaders have stepped up. Period. There is no consistent urgency. Hurting ourself over and over again with penalties, and not being able to overcome them. In less than a half at Clemson, we roughed the kicker, had a pass interference that kept Clemson drives alive, put the ball on the floor, and had a TD fall through a recievers hands. Stupid plays. Other teams are plain dumb not to put 7 or 8 in the box, cut the dive and the end play off and try to make Tech hurt them with the pass before they break back into coverage.
Now, we have yet to see Techs best game. We have yet to see Tech play a full game. CPJ has not lost back to back games since he has been here. We have almost a full week extra to prepare for VT and have every possibility to win, and a few extra days before Miami comes to town. We could very well go 4-0 our last 4 games. We could also go 2-2 or 0-4. Its all about focus and its all about hunger. Its time to start getting MAD. GO TECH!!!!!!
One last thing, for all those who are calling for CPJ;’s head. Please. Do yourself a favor and shut it. The man is ten times better than Gailey. He KNOWS his offense. And guess what? If the execution is perfect, then the offense will score on 80 percent of thier drives. Thats not arrogance. That is demanding perfection. I love it. As far as recruiting goes, why dont you take a peek at the roster for a minute? This is his 3rd year. He didnt take over until after the bowl game at the end of December of 07, and kept the recruiting class together the best he could. He kept Nesbitt here. Names of mention on the roster that are his recruits: Johnspn(S), Bostic(A back), Sweeting(CB), Sims(QB), Watts(LB), Smith(WR/A back), Godhigh(A back), Watson(B back), Burnett(LB), Attoachu(LB), Finch(OL), Carter(LB), Jackson(OL), Smith(OT), McRae(OL), Uzzi(OT), Barnes(DT), Dieke(DE), Cross(DE), and Lanier(DT). Give him a little more time, quit being fairweather fans, and root for your team!!!!!

Clemson beat Tech because Clemson is the superior football team. Plain and simple. Clemson has superior talent and superior coaches.
Question is: Is Tech superior to Georgia???
We’ll see.

To the tards bragging about the UGA graduation rate- please.
I’m sure if our players could major in Pre-Business,”Housing, Sports Management, and Education, it’d be a different story (pre-business? seriously?). Instead, they mostly major in *actual* engineering disciplines, and a lot major in Management. And before you ignorantly spout off about Management, check your facts. It’s consistently ranked above UGA’s business school (sad, considering that’s supposed to be one of your strengths), and it’s not a cakewalk. For example, you actually have to take some calculus classes *prior* to starting your major-related classes. And unlike the UGA faculty, the Tech profs don’t give a damn if you’re on the football team or not (normally I’d just say that they have integrity, but I don’t want to confuse you poor guys).

The funny thing is that Clemson really couldn’t stop the option. The outside was open ALL DAY LONG! CPJ had a gameplan going in and stuck with it. It was painful to watch but in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM did they shut the option down. We went out there and threw the ball far too much and that is what Clemson stopped. Georgia has 3 b/s wins. UT give me a damn break, Vandy who the f cares and then the SEC powerhouse Kentucky. I just wish these retarded UGAG fans would go find their own blogs. Maybe they can discuss Aaron Murrays’ dominance LMAO or maybe they can discuss the Defense dominance(33 pts given up to Kentucky)!

WOW…UGAG graduation rate…yeah it must be easy with all of those idiots there taking tests for athletes, ect….I was recruited at Tech and UGAG for swimming and let me let you retards in on a lil secret…Ga Tech gives NO help other than tutors to their athletes…UGAG on the other hand were offering someone to take tests for theirs. There are only a handfull of players on UGAGs roster that can actually give a post game interview without sounding like Michael Vick. Uneducated rednecks!

I am a Tech grad, and when I want to watch Tech play, I do not want to see them wear uniforms like Penn State wears, with the black side striped white pants. I have read in the Tech Topics alum newspaper that “black is out” at Tech from the head of the alum assn. Because of these reasons, that in my opinion is why Tech lost to Clemson and Nez did not get his 40 yards rushing, and is why Tech has lost in those pants to Kansas and NCSU. I turned on this Clemson game on tv, saw what Tech was wearing, and turned it off. The pants they wore for Homecoming are acceptable to me to watch.
