With the defensive ends coming so far up field, it just makes sense to use a guard to kick them out and a tackle to wrap to the LB.

It’s a “pass run option.” Miami ran this with Malik Rosier more than D’Eriq King but also King enjoyed the fruits of the QB draw labor himself at times.Ībove- Expect gap scheme running from GT vs. If the LB blitzed or sat- Sims would throw the swing. When the LB runs to the swing, Sims runs. Here, Sims reads the linebacker to the RB. Sims is a better runner than Sam Howell and equally as willing to take a shot to pick up a first down, something I was a little disappointed in regarding Kenny Pickett from a coaching perspective. Gibbs is averaging 14.7 ypc while Sanders has three TD’s and 14.7 ypc, too.Ībove- Do I worry about Sims in the QB draw run game? For sure. Sims doesn’t spread the wealth much, he only has two other receivers he relies on in Gibbs, and Andoicas Sanders. Carter averages 15.6 yards per catch, while McGowan has seven TD’s and 15.3 yards per catch. Malachi Carter and Kyric McGowan are the receiving threats to worry about for the ‘Canes defense. Sims is GT’s second leading rusher with 380 yards and four TD’s (including sack yardage). Gibbs has rushed for 524 yards and only two TD’s while adding one through the air. In ‘21, Sims is averaging 8.5 yards per pass attempt, completed 61% of his passes, and has thrown 11 TD’s and six interceptions. The next minute Sims is throwing some ugly pass into triple coverage for a pick six and Gibbs can’t get back to the line of scrimmage.

One minute Jeff Sims looks like an All-ACC QB that’s backed up by an All-ACC type running back in Jahmyr Gibbs. In other words, Miami will once again look to use Tyler Van Dyke’s arm to outscore their opponent rather than stop them. Miami is scoring 32.9 PPG (34th in FBS) and allowing 30.5 PPG (97th in FBS). Tech is scoring only 28.5 points per game (73rd of 130 in FBS) and allowing 28.5 PPG (83rd of 130 in FBS). Bill Connelly’s nerdy math metric has Georgia Tech rated 58th overall, 55th on offense, 54th on defense, and 91st in the kicking game. The SP+ has Miami 25th overall, 15th on offense, 42nd on defense, and 39th in the kicking game. Do you want to know why Bill Belichick focuses so much on special teams? How about the times it’s won or lost Nick Saban a championship? This game will be about field position, keeping kick offs away from Gibbs, and who can make a clutch field goal or two.

The combo of Jeff Sims and Jahmyr Gibbs has the potential to knife through Miami’s bad DE’s and LB’s. Don’t play down to an opponent that’s 20+ SP+ rankings below you.Ģ- Stop the run. Miami doesn’t want to get into a sloppy game with GT. This summer, the Canyonero keys to victory over GT were:ġ- Cut down on penalties.
