Presumably CowDog is saying that playing both GT and GS gives us more show than normal in Georgia, which is a pretty hot recruiting area.
I’m pretty sure he’s referring to the similarity of the offensive schemes of both schools. Willie Fritz is coming from Sam Houston State and is bringing the triple option (his version, anyway) with him. Preparing for GS early in the season will help us later down the schedule against GT.
Therefore, scheduling an early game against a presumably much weaker team that runs a similar offense to GT is “excellent scheduling”, accomplishing 2 goals. Presumably gets the Wolfpack a win while helping to prepare against a conference foe, ie, providing a second week of practice to prepare for the basic tenants of GT’s triple option.
Like calling Richard Sherman thug, sometimes things are a wee bit deeper than they appear. I don’t care if we were league favorites. Getting an early game against GS given the circumstances is a Coup.
