Georgia Tech's a pretty good team that's in the process of debunking the myth that a good option offense like Paul Johnson's won't work at the BCS level. They've played two SEC teams and rushed for 438 and 410 yards. If they're clicking the only team in the SEC I'd be surprised to see them beat is Florida. Alabama would have its hands completely full with them because they're stout up front on defense.

Today's game could've gone either way but it was no fluke. They averaged over 7 yards per rush against the Bulldogs and that was not unusual. If you've been following them or if you watched the graphics today you know that in spite of being a running team they're at the top of the FBS heap when it comes to making big plays and striking quickly. They break off a lot of long runs with that offense.

Johnson's an option football genius. What he's doing this year he's doing with 65 scholarship players who were mostly recruited to run a completely different offense. Watch out after he gets back to full scholarship strength and has players he recruited to fit his offense.
