I am reluctant to agree with this hoping the light will come on for Jeff and that the line will give him opportunities to show what he can do but I am beginning to think he has hit his ceiling.

"What makes a QB a P5 QB?" I am not sure it can be defined. It is sort of like what Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart said about a case involving pornography. " I can't define it, but I know it when I see it."

"...we tend to sleepwalk into these matchups and play down to them." Historically, that has happened often especially when we have had Duke as a Homecoming opponent. As for the "good record" it is true that they have a good winning percentage but they have played one good team and lost (I am...

I am pretty sure it was 1964. Kent Lawrence ran a punt back for a touchdown and that was all the scoring in a tight 7-0 win for the dwags. It was the start of a 5 season winning streak for UGA that pretty much set the tone for the remainder of Dooly's regime. Funny thing was I was 14 years...

Not that it matters that much but on College Football News, Pete Fiutak has a weekly prediction column "Top Ten Picks ATS" They are ranked in order of his personal confidence of how they will play out and Tech vs. Duke is actually #1. First time I can recall that happening. He believes that...

Well, part of that was Frank's legacy of "Beamer Ball" and having Michael Vick but really the ones I hate are the two Tobacco Road drama queens UNC and Duke. Different strokes I suppose.

Don't feel bad no one ever does...except Midtown he's always confident in the Jackets.

I forget his name but Duke's quarterback is a good athlete. Tall, a high school basketball star. Makes very quick decisions. It will be hard to get sacks on him. He runs well but not often. I am concerned that Duke's offensive line will be able to open holes for their two fine running backs...

Yep. Midtown is right. Duke is well coached. They don't leave the ball on the ground much and they make you beat them. Jeff will need his best game for us to win.

You rang?

Their line is not anywhere near what Pitt has but don't underestimate Duke. They have a confident quarterback and a well balanced offense operating behind a pretty good offensive line.

After watching Duke vs Kansas and their game with UVA, I am going with Duke to win and cover...barely. The difference is the Duke offensive line is far better and the quarterback is pretty talented. He beat out the incumbent and is much more accurate than Jeff has been which probably is due to...

If the prior athletic directors were not paying coaches to not coach then the future one would not need to resort to such tactics.

This is why I am reluctant to be critical of Jeff. No quarterback can be effective without consistent blocking. Simms probably has his head on a swivel watching for the next headhunter let free by one of his linemen. The wonder is that he has not been critically injured...yet.

Jeff has to play better. He is capable, I think, but does he want to put this team on his back and carry it? God knows, he gets precious little help from his line but such is the life of many, if not most quarterbacks these days. Defenders keep getting bigger, stronger, faster and seem to...

I guess that means you won't be doing the "Hokey Pokey" Saturday?

Jeff has to play better. That pass was pretty bad as he was not under duress and Jenkins was wide open. Jeff is prone to hand it off on the RPO way too much but then, none of us have experienced the sight of 300 lb. defensive linemen bearing down with, shall we say malicious intent. He does...

You will miss a football game for a wedding? Are you, sir, not aware of how college football is perceived in the South? In the East, football is a social event In the Midwest football is a eating contest In the Far West it is a happening But in the South it is a religion and Saturday is the...

You want to win a ball game? Get in the other quarterback's grill like Charlie Thomas did a few times and they will begin the happy feet act.

Coaches and players come and go but the ACC remains the same. IIWII
