Tell me about the Go-go

[Tex Long 4398]

Much has been said/written about Coach Marion's Go-go offense. There seem to be some very interesting wrinkles in it that look at first glance to be right up Texas' alley, starting with an abundance of good, fast RBs to deploy in the scheme, as well as what we think is a ditto in the receivers room.

How do you see it as a possibility for us to use, either sparingly or full-bore? Or not at all, for that matter?

Wake me up first…

EDIT - I realize that, in context, “Wake Me Up” probably meant “Pound Me In The Ass” (NTTAWWT), but my lame-ass old reference still stands. Or maybe it’s on all fours…

This is a Fly/Go route. 

 

Obviously Go Go runs double Go routes all the time. It will look a little something like this. 

 

 

It's going to be a bold strategy to see us only run 8 players out on offense, but we've definitely seen worse Texas offensive strategies.

You are correct. I believe the original version was called "Backdoor Baby" as homage to S. Hunter Thompson.

[bejezuz 329]

I mean, you'll know for sure when you see it.  The primary look is the QB in the shotgun with two RBs both standing next to him on the same side.  It's like a flattened wishbone.

Best threads ever!  More tits, but the thoughts of Bijan and Worthy and Roshon doing the go go makes me gruntled.  Thank you.

Don’t want to rain on your parade, but this is not the Belinda Carlisle offense. Hell, not even the Bangles offense (not the NFL either for the older olds).

Go-Go’s 1,1,1,1,1
Belinda Carlisle 1
Bangles 1,1,1,1

And, would! Any and all of them, for the official Surly record!

wait.... are we gonna run the HC  offense? The WR coach offense?   Or has there been a magical mesh in 2 months?

This is my concern, Dude.

Before they hit the mainstream with Our Lips are Sealed, the Go-Go’s had a much edgier, hard driving punk sound from the L.A. Club scene. Check out the Return to the Valley of the Go-Go’s on Spotify if you like that kind of thing.

Ah, L.A. Clubs. Any love for The Motels, Kim Carnes? Yeah yeah, early 80s new wave, but that voice, oh my!

[Vertigo 20285]

I would love to see us sit on this until the second half of OU, and then just go balls out with it until they stopped it.

Maybe Sark should do this with all of his game plans.

I think that's the reaction from the defense the GoGo is supposed to provoke.  

[Tex Long 4398]

It seems like Bijan, RoJo, and X would rain havoc on defenses with Go-go plays, with another set of RBs and another 2 or 3 WRs still to be deployed, along with some actual TEs.

I'm wondering if any news has escaped from the depths of the staffers, regarding the ways in which Marion can/will influence the offense. I'm sort of thinking we'll see a lot of 20 and 21 personnel with a lot of formations. He usually has both RBs on one side of the QB, and they can be side-by-side or stacked, and on the same or opposite side as the HB/slot/TE. Plenty of opportunities to sow confusion in the opposing D.

Seems like this guys offense depends on a QB that can run.  Not sure Sark will go for it.

Yeah, unless we run it out of the Wildcat.  I could see some trick go-go plays or a go-go package with Roshon as a Wildcat QB.

I watched some Wm & Mary and Pitt clips of Go-Go, and QB carrying the ball didn't look all that frequent. Maybe it's still too much for Sark, but it seems like the QB is considerably more likely to throw than run. The RB set makes the D decide whether to show a balanced look or to shade to the 2-back side, and the QB reads that pre-snap. Ewers is said to be dual-threat, so Sark could let him run, particularly if we do, in fact, use some of Marion's triple option series, but just enough that opponents absolutely must account for him.

From what I’ve seen. It’s somewhat of a secret formation.

 Overload the defense on one side, burn them one-on-one on the other.   Mississippi valley state averaged over 40 points with this offense

Howard had a pretty good win over UNLV their first year with Marion. Probably one of the all-time reversals, a 45-point dog not just covering, but winning outright. Not sure how the rest of the year went for them. Marion said his goal was to combine triple option with high-tempo spread. The various videos are cool, but I haven't seen much info on the player talent.

That was my guess. It will be used as a Wildcat change of pace here and there.
