Re: About the Ga Tech FG and our substitutions

Did anybody resolve the question of whether we could’ve just trotted a few defensive substitutions out there and run out the clock?

From what I can find officials can deem the defense deliberately trying to run the clock with slow substitutions. If they do they can allow the offense to snap before the defense has completed their subs or be called for a delay of game.

“When an offensive team substitutes a player, by rule, the defense is allowed to substitute a player of their own. However, how fast they had to perform the sub was not being enforced, which in turn caused the subbing players to jog at a slow pace off the field to give the defense as much rest as possible and eat up the offensive play clock. Now that is being changed, and giving the referees the judgment for how fast a player should be moving.”

yes Tech had 2 90 yard drives in this game. We knew King was going to run it and still couldnt stop them. The Dline and LB outside of Brown are a massive letdown after all the hype. LSU, TROY, and even Tech controlled the clock with long drives, we just cant get off the field on defense. This has to be the slowest defense we have had in a long time. The horizontal stuff is killing us with the DLINE not able to set the edges and Woodaz being so slow and missing tackles at the line of scrimmage at an alarming rate. The offense is making life harder on a defense with no depth also and without a committment to the run game will continue to struggle to sustain drives. Hard ti believe that we didnt recognize a need for a running back from the portal. Missouri goes out and gets a portal back and now has the number 1 back in college football while we are happy with what we had. just mind boggling that some refuse to call DABO out for this roster mismanagement. Dabo is running this team like a little league team where everyone has to play at least 2 innings . Just laugable !!
