[QUOTE="worthco jacket, post: 118525, member: 1847"] Given the low expectations, and perceived lack of depth and talent in certain positions (even by an ever skeptical fan base), this has to rank has the best team since 1990. At the beginning of the year Coach Johnson made a comment that suggested this team might surprise people. At the time, his words which as I recall talked about team unity and how easy it was to coach them were derided as "coach speak". In hindsight, he was prescient and the critics, including me, were the ones that were clueless. This season is a testimony to the leadership of Shaq Mason on the offensive line, the determination of Erin Joe to overcome injuries, and the exceptional abilities of JT, Smelter, Laskey, Days, to move the football no matter what the obstacles. Think about this, how many of these young men fit the "prototype" of what pro scouts are looking for? Very few, maybe Smelter, possibly Shaq. How many of them would start at your typical football factory? A handful from both sides of the ball? Yet, here they are having beaten a former number one team in the nation, the neighborhood bully, two ACC teams loaded with the aforementioned pro talent (Clemson and Miami), a sweep of the much bemoaned "Big Four", and all this has been accomplished with a ahem "high school offense. If this does not make you proud to be a Yellow Jacket then there is no hope. [/QUOTE]
