I was at the 2013 GT game, and watched it live! That stop was electric!
But I watched the replay on television, and we really got lucky on that play.
Eddie Johnson crashed on the play to make the tackle. I don't know if he guessed right, or if they called it and conceded the outside. But had the play gone wide, it was an easy 6.
And the subsequent video proves that. GT went wide on both plays, and we had nobody there.
Beating the option is about making the right guess on the play-call, based on tendencies and situation. But it's also about winning most of the 1-on1 battles.
The way GT runs their option, when their blockers "tie", its a win. they really don't have to gain ground with their blocks, as long as they don't lose it or disrupt their timing.
Watch the stop play again ... You'll see 2 GT guys don't even block a Miami player on the play side. I think the QB made the wrong read on the play, and we benefitted.

lol that was great. really put Golden's defensive philosophy under a microscope. don't fill the box on a goal line play against a run heavy team bc it worked a year ago out of a different formation??? in what universe does if ever make sense to call that formation? I
Golden is so full of ****. Here is the play he is referring to. Skip to 34:21. Nothing like the formation from last year.

Compare that to this trainwreck. Skip to 1:19 and 1:27. I hate this man.
