Friday Q&A: October 1, 2010

Raleigh Hokie joins us for today’s Friday Q&A. He explains how the
Tech offense plans for opponents each week, talks about the struggles in the
passing game, and gets into what we might see tomorrow against NC State.

1) Can you explain coaching duties on offense and why Mike O’Cain runs the
2-minute?

Raleigh Hokie: Coaching duties are delegated to each of the coaches as
part of game film breakdowns and game plan preparation. Each of the coaches is
assigned a specific focus area in breaking down the defensive game films for the
upcoming opponents. Bryan Stinespring breaks down the base defense. Kevin
Sherman breaks down the red zone defense. Billy Hite breaks down goal line and
short yardage defense. Mike O’Cain breaks down the 2-minute defense. Each
coach determines how that particular defense works in each of those situations

charted, organized and reviewed with Bryan Stinespring as the full game plan is
developed and assembled.
