Damn.

It seems, this season, that UT runs out of the pistol 50% of the time.

We had just started using, probably, for the first time in our history vs. MTSU last year.

The purpose was to try to get some sort of a running game going...and it worked...for two games.

Now I hate it.

it's a great formation but yea it's like any other, you can't just live out of it. i'd hate for UGA to ever live out of the gun or I or even the pistol. so far, granted it's vs defenses that even Parkview or Grayson could move the ball on, bobo has incorporated it well. i always wanted it because our OL has always been our achilles heel and while we run better from the I Murray would get killed on play actions or rushed even on normal throws. then we'd go to the gun, pass better, and we could get no momentum running the ball. so like UT i just wanted it for some damn balance and i love the idea that like the gun we can use Murray's speed even more.

it's just nice to see Bobo and Richt saw it. we tend to be like the chinese air force in terms of offensive development. by the time we really started using the gun consistently teams had moved on to wildcat and pistol. we just now got a pistol and never really got into the Wild Dawg phase. bobo promised it but idk if the guy could fit it on his play sheet. you know how crayons smudge and all.
