If You Want to be Like the 2014 Georgia Tech Offense–Run Triple, Zone Dive, and Rocket
December 12, 2014
Eight (8) of Georgia Tech’s 2014 football games were evaluated: Georgia, Florida State, Miami, Virginia, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Pittsburgh, and Clemson.
The following are the results of the study:
Triple Option and Zone Dive (w/ “Pin” technique) were executed 271 of 598 possible plays. This was 45% of their offense in these eight games.
Rocket Toss was executed 46 of 598 possible plays. This was 8% of their offense in these eight games.
Dropback Pass Variations were executed 52 of 598 possible plays. This was 9% of their offense in these eight games.
The most interesting data resulting from the study was a lack of Midline (with variations) run. Midline occurred 26/598 times (4% of offense) with the second-team offense running nearly half of those Midline Options.
In Summary
Triple Option, Zone Dive, and Rocket Toss are the runs that matter most to Georgia Tech. This was 53% of their offense in their eight games.
The average high school football offense runs 48 plays in a game. If a high school coach were to follow what Georgia Tech has done, they would distribute the offense in the following manner:
Triple Option and Zone Dive- 22 plays/game
Rocket Toss- 4 plays/game
Dropback Pass Variations- 4 plays/game
Other- 18 plays/game
