Same song, but a very different story
112109 CITADEL ROBERTS
The Citadel wide receiver Andre Roberts heads up field with a reception during the season finale at Paulson Stadium in this November 21, 2009 file photo. Roberts was later selected in the third round of the NFL draft, then-GSU coach Chris Hatcher was fired after the game, and now both teams are running a similar triple-option offense, with not-so-similar results.
Both teams switched to the triple option during the offseason, but the reason was entirely different in each case. Georgia Southern fired coach Chris Hatcher after his spread, passing attack finished 2009 with a 5-6 record. The Citadel lost its best player — wide receiver Andre Roberts — to the NFL Draft.
