I find it interesting how in Tech's second year in a new system returning almost everyone on offense, along with a new weapon in Anthony Allen, but it appears if they have regressed in my honest opinion. Especially after the Miami game and the second half of the Clemson game.

On the other hand Michigan who looked like they had no idea what they were doing on offense last year, look in more of a groove, as if they are starting to truly grasp it/Rodriguez is getting his recruits in there.

I guess I don't really have a question here other than observing how coaches are implementing new systems, while the Triple Option was great last year, do you think defenses are catching up with it? I'm just comparing the systems. I think the obvious answer is RR's is better just takes longer to implement.

Georgia Tech's problem is they don't have a quarterback that can throw even when needed. If it's 3rd and 6 and they choose to throw... there is probably a 10 percent chance they convert that throw. There have been games Nesbit has had to throw the ball 10-15 times and he completes 1-3 passes. They need someone that can at least complete 5 of 10 or something along those lines. He completed 43.9% last year and is completing 37.5% this year. Just horrible. He is about as likely to throw an interception as a completion.

The biggest difference with Michigan this year and last is Tate Forcier. He's not the god some media and UM fans are making him out to be but he fits the spread perfectly, unlike Sheridan or Threet did last year.

Nesbitt can throw the deep ball alright sometimes.
Half the time on his throws though he is on the run, the o-line doesn't give him enough time from what I saw last night. Also I think he locks onto one guy and throws to him no matter what.

Nesbitt has regressed badly.

In some capacity, I've been around....let me think....four first-team All-Ohio quarterbacks who have run this offense. I didn't coach them directly so I'm sure as hell not going to take credit for it; I'm just saying that I've seen firsthand the difference between someone who can run this offense as it's designed and someone who cannot.

I would take any of them as a college freshman over Nesbitt right now. He's not demonstrating good instincts as a runner, he's not showing discipline as a runner, and he's not doing the little things in the passing game. The ability to pass the ball effectively in this offense is predicated on getting desirable one-on-one matchups, then stinging the defense by running play action to a superlative degree (there being a minimum of dropback or rollout). Nesbitt simply hasn't been doing that; he's not selling play action and is making things more difficult on himself and the receivers.

Honestly, I think he needs replaced for a period of time until he can get back to the level of last year. He's not anywhere close to it right now.

People are just catching up with GT's system.. UM's had some great games and Forcier fits that system perfectly.

Yes, but Tevin Washington and Jaybo Shaw, their backups, are not the answer.

Navy runs the same thing. If two weeks ago is any indication, it's that a team loaded with future NFL players given a ton of time to prepare for the offense still cannot consistently have an answer. GT would slaughter Ohio State.

Michigan has its own problems; in a real conference they couldn't contend for another three years. In the sinkhole they call home, they'll be near the top by next year.

Probably not, but keeping Nesbitt on a short leash next week couldn't hurt.

Georgia Tech would not slaughter OSU, Navy runs this offense much much smoother than Gtech does.

gtech's problem is their defense is horrid. their offense barely had the ball against miami.
