Extra Points: Blueprint Blown Up

Posted Sep 20, 2010
The template for beating Georgia Tech's eclectic football team--that of the flexbone offense and 3-4 defense--is to play patiently on offense, nibbling here, nibbling there, then send the howitzer over top. Control the clock. Gift them nothing; the shortage of ball possessions will come back to haunt you the more charitable you are. On defense, play your man--dive, quarterback, pitch, receiver downfield on play-action throws. (Tar Heel Blue)
