GSU can definitely be a dangerous foe, we WILL have to play well!Posted On: Jan 29th 2020, 7:24 AM #393798
Depends on which GSU shows up. Those videos were from 4 years ago unde head coach fritz the way the Shotgun OPtion should be run. If the Blocking and intire offense doesnt improve Southern is in for a very average year.

Iwould still rather run the FLEX or as Paul Johnson called it the Spread Triple Option. It uses cut blocking with a 3 foot line split, 2 wideouts, 2 slotbacks and a full back with QB under center. One of the slot backs goes
into motion crossing behind the fullback and is used as the pitch man if needed . The other slot is a lead blocker to that side. Since it is basickly a passing formation addapted for use in the triple option attack the wideouts slots and even thr full back can be used as recevers using play action or strait back from the QB under center. The full back hits the LOS much faster and the Slotback and full back counters hit faster because of their close
proxcimiyy to the LOS. In 1985-86 we even had a Run&Shoot package along with the play action and regular roughts. Of course we had a great QB and all the wideouts and backs had good hands.
To me the Shotgun option starts to far back with the QB, Back or Backs to far from the LOS and can be read much better by the LBs and defensive backs using standup zone blocking. It is way to easy to read the back up the middle and the pitch man starts to far back and is covered to easaly.
That said HC Fritz ran it very well in 2014 &15 but the newer HC and staff havent been able to duplicate that yet.
On a positive note Southerns 3-4 defense has made great strids and become better in the last 2 years.

It’s going to be a great game probabl6 close. You’re by far the most tolerable fan that has come on here from a future opponent. FAU has started slow s couple seasons but with our QB Robison returning and much of the offense I don’t expect us to start slowPosted On: Feb 2nd 2020, 1:28 PM #393892

*Well I have showed your fans what GSU could be like running the Shotgun Option under HC Fritz's 2014 & 15 Seasons.
*I told you that from 2016-17 GSU went trough 3 different head coachs & was really poor example of GSU football.
*I also stated that GSU has made a fair comeback in 2018 & 19. The 3-4 defense has defitly improved but our Shotgun option really needs to evolve especially on the O-Line. ( THE TERM IS CONSISTANCTY)
******I would like some info on FAUs defense, offense and new coaching staff.
