re: How will GA fare against the triple option of Tech?

You ignore all the fancy defensive schemes you've drawn up for every other offense and play gap control schemes with your safeties closer to the line of scrimmage then they normally would be.

Stop the FB dive while looking out for the midline option of the QB following right on his tail. GT doesn't seem as fond of the midline option as the service academies though.

If you force the play outside, which is where Tech has been eating people alive this year, the usual emphasis is on taking the pitchman and making the QB beat you with his feet. Unfortunately the GT QB can do exactly that.

Force him to pitch and try to string out the pitch man towards the sideline.

I love the option, don't get me wrong, but if your play smart defense where everyone just does their job and doesn't let themselves get suckered out of position you can stop it.
