He is not a traditional triple option coach. He is a Gus mahlzon style triple option coach. I dont recall them lining up in Nader center once at sam Houston.

Really good article on G Southern.

Kimbo, you are correct, Fritz does have a spread background. Very interesting stuff.

Still not convinced a power 5 team will go all in with that type of offense...but the proof is in the W's eventually.

RE: Georgia Southern............
Army is one school that is not a P5 that can pay a coach more than most non-P5 shools. Because of themilitary's weight restrictions Army's offensive line is one of the smallest in D-1 which makes their@passing game pretty useless . With a pathetic passing attack Army has had to rely on various forms of the option through the years. So having a coach that can coach the option real well and a team like Army. would be a perfect fit.

This more of what you see in major college football today than not. His offense is a selling point not a detractor. Most teams win when they out rush the other.

Army JUST took the last Georgia southern coach. It is how Fritz got the job

Georgia Southern is a deceptively tough game. It's not an "exciting" match-up for the casual football fan in the first place. If we win, it doesn't really count for much... and if we lose, it has the perception of being a bad loss on our schedule.

Call me crazy, but I'd rather play a bad B1G team like Illinois or Purdue, then ANY Sun Belt team. They just aren't sexy match-ups all around IMO.

I don't like it because playing teams with a cut blocking offense have the risk of injuring your defensive lines.

The rest doesn't bother me at all .

RE: Georgia Southern............
The Sun Belt is just a junk conference to me... don't get me wrong, there are some good mid-major programs sprinkled in there but nothing about Louisiana-[fill in the blank], Arkansas St., or South Alabama gets me excited as a fan.

If we're going to schedule strong mid-majors, I'd much rather see us schedule someone from the AAC, C-USA, or the Mountain West.

Same can be said by their fan bases about playing WMU. I would much rather play any of those 4 named schools than Idaho. ASU has been very good through their one year coaches.

That's fine, but I'm not worried about what they think. I'm worried about us.

Like I said, I know some of them are decent programs but the conference overall doesn't have the notoriety or tradition like some schools in the AAC, C-USA, or Mountain West.

I think the other G5 Conferences tend to be stronger then the MAC. I view a GA Southern/Fresno St/ECU/Boise St as a much tougher game then a Purdue/Illinois/Wake type of game. Even Arkansas St has gotten really good. I remember watching a replay of their bowl game last year vs a MAC team (can't remember who. Ball St?) and they were saying that Arkansas St is right behind NIU in wins since 2009.

Minus Fresno -- they're not great this year. Illinois would beat them, and so would Purdue.

Best way to do it is to measure Divisions of Conferences. Sagarin has MAC West above the weaker CUSA & MW divisions, MAC East at the BOTTOM of everything in G5. Of course, Sagarin also include D1AA teams, and has the Missouri Valley Conference solidly above the MAC West, and 2 divisions from CUSA & MW -- which I Disagree with. Over the MAC East and Sun Belt? Yes.

They also had 5-4 Missouri Valley teams above every MAC team except Toledo a little while ago. They put too much presumption into it.

Agree about the AAC and Mountain West, but disagree about C-USA. There are a handful of decent C-USA teams, but the conference top-to-bottom is more comparable to the MAC or the Sun Belt, IMO.

Navy is beating Georgia Southern 17-7 at half...

NAVY *CRUSHED* GA-Southern.

Thing is, GA-Southern runs a unique triple-option type offense. They can beat a lot of G5s and many mid-level P5s potentially that way...

... except military teams or GA-Tech or other high-running teams who will be very prepared for that. Shows GA-Southern's weakness. Don't play teams that do stuff in the ballpark range of what you do.
