The 3rd and short plays are mind blowing. We never have anyone working the short middle of the field. No slants, crosses, drags, nothing. We ran 4 verts about 4-5 times on 3rd and medium.
I never thought I'd see an OC ignore the middle of the field more then Coley, Richt has surpassed that by a mile.
Richt and Kaaya are a match made in football ****. Kaaya sacked himself 5-6 times today by getting antsy when the protection was good.
Absolutely. The offensive scheme is so sickening it's like it was designed to fail.
I remember very well what I watched in Blacksburg two years ago. We didn't need a big night from Kaaya because we risked lining up against them and seeing if they could stop basic power plays. It worked. Imagine that.
Tonight we never even tried. Anything else is pathetic rationalization.
Here are some clips from that game two years ago. Notice the I formation sets, 1 back sets, quick hitting blasts, use of running backs on curl routes over the middle, along with schemes similar to what we're using now. Somehow James Coley (briefly) from 2014 is everything I expected from Mark Richt in 2016.
Those types of plays would cleanse the offensive linemen and help maximize Kaaya. Right now we are making sure his weaknesses are at forefront.
