I don't agree with the 'gimmick offense' moniker, but if you're going to remove the impact of interceptions, you should take away Tech's first touchdown also, knocking them back down to 17 points.
Fair enough. I think a lot of people forget that Tech outgained in yardage. They just made a few critically stupid plays here and there. Against a team like Texas, you have to play perfectly. Tech's problem (besides defense) is that they have a new QB every year. If they could start anyone and give him 2 or 3 years' experience in that system, it would cut down on the bad decisions and that could put them on the national stage. As someone said earlier, the Tech offense is just an aggressive variation of the spread offense - someone will be open on just about every play. It's just a matter of having a smart QB that can find that guy on a consistent basis. If they had the talent of Florida or other teams that run that kind of system, they'd be incredible.
I don't know if this has been posted yet, or if it deserves its own thread, but Texas has moved ahead of USC to number 1 in the BCS.
Considering how many Texas fans are on this site, I say it is worth its own thread. Now, go and run, EddieWasSnubbed, and start this thread before anyone else does!
