There Is No Special Way For A Defense To Line Up Againt GT's Offense

I hope people, especially UGA fans, keep saying that Paul Johnson's offense can't work or LSU "figured it out."

"Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said he still gets a kick out of those who question his spread-based option offense. “We’ve been doing it for 26 years, they’ve got 25 years of film, OK?” Johnson said. “It’s like anything else, if you execute the offense efficiently you’re going to be good. If you don’t, you won’t.
There’s no special secret way to line up and say ‘Oh my god, now they can’t run.’ They’ll put nine people in the box. OK, go ahead. You’re not going to line up something we haven’t seen in 26 years. You might beat us, but I highly doubt it’s because of the way you line up.”

This is by far the silliest thing I am hearing in college football right now. Last year it was Moreno for Heisman this year it is "LSU figured out GT's offense." GT fans always call UGA fans rednecks and stupid and certain UGA fans prove them correct by saying "LSU figured out GT's offense." GT lead the ACC in offense last year! Did I miss something again? Like I did last year with the Moreno for Heisman garbage? Oh well:)

Here is a question with GT A-Back Roddy Jones on this ridiculous topic:
What do you say to fans who say ACC defenses are going to know what to do against you guys this year?
RJ: I tell them to watch the games this year because coach Johnson preaches that if we execute, nobody in the country can stop us. When he was at Georgia Southern, they played the same teams every year. When he was at Navy, they played the same teams every year. The offense was always successful. There's no reason why that wouldn't be the same case here.
