Do we see more running with JG under center?

The strength of this offense is the OL. This was true last week, but it is even more true now with Mays gaining immediate eligibility. We have a bunch of mean and talented road graders. With that being said, do we see more handoffs from JG under center?

I would love to see Chaney do this more, especially when the VOLS are up by a score or two late in the game. UGA and Bama may be the only teams on the schedule with the talent and depth at DT/DE to counter it.

I CANNOT GET OVER THE FACT THAT WE NOW HAVE FOUR 5*s AND A 6TH YR 4* TRANSFER FROM ALABAMA CENTER AS OUR OFFENSIVE LINE!
DAMNNNNNNNNNNNN

MAKING ME MOIST!

I think we should go Single Wing and run it up the middle every dang play -- every dang game. Pound the rock the OLD SCHOOL way. We might even slide Philip Fulmer in at one of the guards. After all, we added one offensive lineman who is comparable to a couple of our other offensive lineman, a couple of who went out or down with injury. Might as well skip Alabama- they don't have a chance, and let's see if we can go ahead and schedule the Packers for after the season - we are unstoppable now. :)

I'm not the one you're arguing with lads, I love me some run game. You're gonna have to bring these arguments up with Pruitt, who I think is looking first and foremost for big chunk yardage plays.

Didn't mean to come off argumentative friend. I've got no problem with throwing the ball downfield as long as we supplement it with runs about half the time. We were right at 50/50 against Missouri. Of our 33 pass plays, we only connected with 3 over 20 yards and one of those was to Eric Gray out of the backfield. I'm thinking maybe Pruitt simply wants a greater percentage of our passes to go downfield, not that he wants to throw more and run less. Who knows? Guess we'll find out Saturday.

I would love to see UT in the I or Ace sets more often. I think throwing from the shot gun always creates a disadvantage for the OL and RB.

I wasn't arguing. I was just giving a fact and hoping we run more. You're important...but not that important...:)

Why? Chaney was dialing up the plays last week and last year vs Mizzou. Spread em out, then bang em up the gut with Trey and Cade wrecking 6 guys, rather than 8.

The math says the more guys along the OL, means higher chance of a blown block and play being blown up, with more guys in the box. Spread offenses are effective at running for a reason.

The less JG throws, or has to do any thinking, the better.

I think he's doing pretty good pre-snap now. I think he manages the run game well. I think he's at least "seeing" the pre-snap alignment. He's still slow after the snap and has problems anticipating throws.

BUT AGAIN... for the benefit of the kneejerk cultists... I think his TD to Palmer was the best throw he's made at UT.

Wisconsin... a slow Big 10 team from the west has been worse than 3rd in the Big 10 rushing only once since 2008. They run a lot of I and Ace sets with one or two TE's, FB, HB, and generally only 2 WR's.

You can make different things work. If you do it right, a power run game is difficult to stop.

If JG hit those open throws on 3rd down no one has a negative thing to say about JG this season. He missed A LOT of passes that a starting QB should be able to hit.

6th yr center
Sr left guard
Jr right guard
Sophomore book end tackles that played every game in their careers already

Not high school kids now!

Right you are. Them is full growed men.
Did the tackles both miss games last year with injuries?

We should be able to run when we want against anyone not named Bama, but the chunk plays that Bama was getting from Tua just opened up their run game even more. I could see Pruitt wanting to get the defense on its heels with those big plays then cramming it down their throats when they back off. However, wouldn’t it be nice to know we can get 2 yards pretty much anytime anywhere?

Yep, but we have not done that in the last 4-5 years and we did not do that last Saturday. I think UGA has as much talent on defense as Bama. That is why I mentioned those two teams.

I don't see us scoring very many points running the ball 40 times against Bama or Gawga. Both have big strong defensive teams and I think each will score about 20 points. We still have difficulty scoring TDs inside the red/Orange zone against teams which have less than really strong defenses. Miisou scored a bunch of points throwing the ball all over the field against LSU. I know, we don't really know if LSU can stop anyone with the players they played on defense last week. I am not saying we need to throw the ball 40 times a game, but we do need to keep every defense we play to know we can move the ball through the air. If we emphasize the run early in the game and it fails, we will likely dig a hole from which we can not emerge.

Who scored a bunch on LSU? It sure wasn’t Missouri. It does start with a M and has multiple “s”s and “i”s Though so kudos on that.
