re: Georgia Southern - anyone worried?

Only worried about D-linemen getting hurt with all the chop blocking that will be going on.

Last year's team was a "Gun-Option" offense which I don't think uses cut blocks. They hired the QB coach from GTech but it looks like they will still use the "Gun-Option".

When Cook was hired, many speculated the Eagles would return to the flexbone offense run by former Georgia Southern and current Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson. Both Summers and Cook said Monday the flexbone will only be a small part of the scheme to throw opponents off balance.

“We still intend to be a gun-option team,” Summers said. “We’ll certainly incorporate pieces of the flexbone. In a perfect world, we’d probably be somewhere in between 70-30, 75-25 percent gun option to under center. We want to run the ball as our emphasis, but we still want to be able to throw it. We’d like to throw it around 15 times a game.”

Summers and his staff just have to get to that perfect world. After losing 22 seniors, including their top two quarterbacks, top running back and top two receivers, the Eagles will have to nail another recruiting class and get returning players up to speed. “I think as we move into this first year, we’re going to try to find a scheme that fits the personnel we have in place,” Summers said. “As we move forward, we’re going to build and adapt and be more focused on the individuals that fit the scheme we want to be.”

This game should be a good game to prepare for Clemson's Kelly Bryant, and his RPO game.
