Bottom line, GT lives and breathes the kind of option/zone read offense MD is going to be running. This is also the first game where an opponent has had time to actually prepare for what MD is likely going to try and do. The NC State game the option QB got in because of an injury and took NC state totally off guard. The BC game, they were starting the freshman who is more of a pro style QB. Maryland also has had a VERY bad running game besides the NC state game. I think they had -2 yards in one game. So it's not like they have some great hulking o-line that can control the line of scrimmage.

GT is familiar with this type of offense, it's a freshman linebacker playing QB.

When something unprecedented happens (and I've certainly never heard of a team losing FOUR QBs for the season and then starting a LINEBACKER), that is something the books may actually not know how to account for. Think about it. Might as well take the shot.

Got in at 6.5 because im razor sharp. But all this SBR love may mush it, so who really knows.
