re: Scott Frost

Our defenses had a lot to do with not winning any championships. Consistently setting conference records on offense hasnt been a bad thing.

Not if he graduates in the meantime. Then he's in Jacob Coker territory.

some quick googling and im right.

braxton has 1 year left. SEC banned graduate transfers basically because of masoli. must have 2+ years of eligibility to transfer into SEC

You're right we do run some spread concepts I would just like to see more of it. I don't want the option to be 90% of our offense but the threat would be nice it gives the defense something else to defend and prep for in practice.

The spread works and there is a reason almost all of the best offenses in college use it and the NFL uses a ton of spread as well.

Agree with this but it's more the just the spread/hurry up no huddle offense. You NEED the optimal QB to run the offense. Ironically the SEC created the model with Tebow and Cam Newton: big athletic dual-threat QB. Oregon has been dominant largely because their optimal Heisman winning QB, Mariota, has stayed healthy and came back for his Senior year. Alabama lost last night because they have a small weak-armed QB in Sims. The kid is a gamer but he is NOT the proto-type QB for any offense either the spread or pro-set.

It's not like Georgia is lacking in talented optimal QB's to have an effective spread if we so desired. We aren't always blessed to have an Aaron Murray or Matt Stafford on the roster. However, we have avoided recruiting that type of QB. Cam Newton was recruited as what....a tight end????

The UGA offense is not broke in any way, shape, or form.

I know some of y'all are dazzled by the flash and excitement of the spread offense, but it isn't any more efficient than what UGA already does. They just run more plays and create more possessions, for both teams.

You don't scrap an offense that averages 45 points per game and has elite personnel in place for the existing system. That would be retarded.

The goal of the offense, any offense, is to get into the end zone. If you put up 40+ points a game, you should be winning. If you aren't winning, you need to improve your defense, not fundamentally change the way you move the ball down the field. Hell, everyone has been envious of Bama for the past several years and they run a pro-style offense. No one looks at them and thinks that their offensive style just doesn't work and that they should move on to something else.

It doesn't matter what style offense we have as long as we have the personnel to run it effectively. Sure, we could move on to a spread option offense, but we would need to start recruiting differently and it would take a few years to get the right pieces in place for it to be effective.

One thing you may notice about the offenses that run that style of play that catch the eye of football fans is that they are usually run by very talented dual-threat QBs. Those QBs are usually Heisman candidates or winners. You can't just switch the style and expect to have positive results on the field. Look how many teams actually run a spread or spread option offense in CFB as their primary offensive scheme. Only a few of them actually make headlines.
