ATTENTION! Tech is moving to the Power I !!!!

I’m on the road (not driving and texting) but please do not copy and paste entire articles. Also, do you have a link for the article. I can fix it (or the original poster can edit his FanPost) later.

whether or not we completely abandon the Air Raid. Keep in mind that Tubs hired Neal Brown for a reason. If he wanted to completely transform to a grind it out run all the time offense – he’d direct his focus on hiring an OC that has a track record of doing so. I wouldn’t get too excited… Also, the article is more than obvious about Doege – he should throw for at least 1,000 yards (wow, going out on a limb there). I’d think Doege is good for at least 3K this year. We will be certainly more focused on running, but still expect a predominately pass first focus.

The key is that you work with what you got. If you have a stable of stud RBs… why wouldn’t you run more? Please tell me you didn’t think we got these guys because they block well? Lol. If you have a running force then run more. If our unknown WRs end up being the work horses… Then throw.

I don’t care if we win every game 50 – 0 or 7-3. The point of the game is to win. Style points don’t matter. Just the W/L column.

I’m interested to see how Media day panned out. I’m sure all the focus will still be on the LHN.

With the loss of Lyle Leong and Detron Lewis the Red Raiders aren’t left with a lot of talent at the receiver position. They do bring back junior Alexander Torres and senior Traman Swindall, but neither has the talent of Leong or Lewis. This would be a big problem for the Red Raiders if they were still planning on using the spread attack, but they simply need a couple players to step up and be able to make the big catch when needed.

if this guys were to do his homework he’d see that Torres was better than both of them his freshman year. Plus nothing against Leong but where was he his sophmore and junior year. He came out of nowhere and improved his senior year as i would expect Swindall to do. There is a ton of talent at receiver.

60% pass 40% run.
There is no way stephens gets enough touches to get 1000.
Especially with all the other backs that will get some playing time.
I hope im wrong.

to say we have no or little talent at receiver has got to be one of the most unbelievably wrong statments i have ever heard……and +1 with techcuz…..I also think our inside receivers will be huge this year….Zoo/Marquez/hopefully corndog! Wreck’Em Tech

…Really?
Email saved to my contacts so when we actually start playing football, and starting winning games, this guy will get a kindly, well-written email sent to his inbox.

I believe that Tubby wants to run more, but I don’t believe he goes out and hires Neal Brown to run the I formation. I have met NB and spoken to him at length. Unless he is misleading me, he claims that Tubby just wants to run more effective, but wants to keep air raid. He has said that when you need a yard, you can’t rely on the passing game. I get that.

In my opinion, I really don’t care how we win. I would love to see us put up 50 points a game and hold our opponents to 10 points a game, and that might be possible. If Tubby can fill The Jones and we can still throw tortillas, tear down goal posts, fight with aTm, then I’m on board.

Your prediction might be dead on. This is going to be a tough year. Playing Texas, OU, and Misssouri on the road is tough in any year. Both the Aggies and Cowboys are where we were in 08, they are going to be tough home games. Which means that we can’t slip bu against anyone else, and when you have a bunch of 18-22 year old kids, anything can happen. So I will be over the top with a 9-3 season, but disappointed with anything less than 8-4.

Another Red Raider First Down.

Though it is extremely unlikely for Tech to move towards a power running offense, that does not mean you can not score and put up big numbers. Just look at Wisconsin for an example of how to score 83 points against Northwestern.

My only concern here is just as it has been with the other first year qB’s we have had since 2000……he will be fine…..I like that we have our 3 non-conf. games first and that gives him some experience….also all 5 of OL is back and if they can stay healthy then Doege will be just fine……and unlike some of the QB’s in the past I do like the RB’s we have and can utulize them more….again no talent @ WR? Let’s see the best JC WR last year(got on campus in spring) Zou/Corndog/Swindall in system fr @ least 3 yrs. and oh Torres( I guess he really isn’t too good) and probably the best Fr. Tight End in the Country……Wreck’Em Tech

I am not concerned about Doege. Tech has had many first year QB’s that have done fine. Especially that string of 5th year seniors. Most of them had less college experience than Doege. Several years of not playing as well. He at least has one college start.

Tubs wants to run the ball he does not like the passing game which is where we succeeded last year. He wants to throw 60% or less depending on the run last year we fell behind in most games and were forced to throw more often to try to stay in it.

He knew what he was getting when he took over the team is this the reason he picked Neal Brown. If he would have picks a run and grind oc we would have been worse than what I think our bad record indicated.

TCU he dropped this game knowing he probably could not win TCU would love to pick on a big conference school and Tech is doing its 3rd defense in 3 years and I think the offense is changing more this year …. UNM we may need an easy win to make a bowl game TCU gets dropped.

Big 12 -2 is looking ugly this year with the oklahomas and UT will be much improved and A&M projected a 9 win season there is little room for error. I hate to say it but I do think Tech will come in bottom half of the conference this year.

My thoughts on it

Agreed take what the defense gives you ….but do you think Auburn would have won NC without Cam? I dont think so …
