Injuries wore him down. He suffered a broken leg against Miami his senior year that finished him. He was also a good receiver out of the backfield for Kim King.

Well, don't laugh but some guy a couple of years ago came up with this "ALL NAME" team and he was on it along with Ephesians Bartley from Florida and I.M. Hipp from Nebraska.

Lavette had two fine fullbacks in front of him. Malcolm King from down here in Americus and Keith Glanton. Both of them were very good football players. I am not sure about ELI but this first two years we were in the wishbone and he was a halfback with David Sims among others.

Very true. You convinced me but then when it comes to Tech football, I am pretty gullible. We will see. I still think this is not a real good match up for us unless Blackman does his thing and throws a passel of interceptions.

I forgot about Charlie Rogers who is more properly, I suppose, considered an "All Purpose" back lining up as he did all over the place. Nobody, I mean nobody, got more out of his ability that Tech's own "Charlie Brown" Charlie Rogers. Something you could say about a lot of Tech's little backs...

Man, I have to tell you Monroe, I had my glasses on Days one game and he was knocking people back and when he got tired, here comes Laskey who ran almost as hard. Both of them were a handful to be sure.

I agree with that but would add as a historical perspective Eddie Lee Ivery from the 70s, Robert Lavette from the 80s, maybe Dorsey Levans and Tashard Choice. Two great backs at the same time? Have to defer to those more knowledgeable. To be honest, Tony Hollings could have had more pure...

Whattaya mean count? I will have you know "ballin" I was a liberal arts major in college and the only time I can count is playing tennis. But to your assertion about blitzing, I don't see FSU blitzing that much unless they have to. They have been yapping all summer about their talent on the D...

IF we can run on them, we can beat them but that is supposed to be a talented defensive line matched up against an offensive line that last year was one of the worst in the country. It will be a good measure to see if we have made progress. I want to beat them but would be sort of happy if we...

I cannot comment about the "hell" part but here in Albany we are under a flash flood watch and it is pouring down rain like cats and dogs.

Well, that is interesting but why would FSU with all that talent on the line but 8 or 9 in the box? The defensive line is supposedly loaded with talent and is the strength of their team. For sure, it is not their offensive line or the quarterback.

Them boys look like they are ready to play ball. Running backs beware.

In this "Age of COVID" no one really knows how these teams have been affected by the loss of spring practice, new coaches, new players, and so forth. I have no doubt that the single most important matchup is our offensive line against their highly touted defensive line. As for betting...only a...

When my daughter was in graduate school in Columbia, she was dumbfounded. "Daddy" says she, "I thought college students partied on weekends" "Sweetie" says I, "That is because you went to Berry and they are strictly amateurs compared to professional party schools like Carolina."

FWIW which is not much, that Athlon's coaches' comments on NC State were pretty pointed. One guy flatly said that job (meaning NC State) is the one most coaches around the ACC expect to open up next year Ouch! Pitt is a team they, the coaches, gripe a lot about. One guy said (paraphrasing...

That is very true but I was actually reacting to what I saw at Dudley Field a few years ago when a friend of mine who is a big Florida booster got two tickets to the Vanderbilt game (and the Grand Ole Opry as well) and it was surprising to me just how dead that stadium was compared to BDS at...

It would appear that Clemson, like Alabama, manages to actually get great talent and get something out of them with player development and sound coaching. I was on the Florida site some time ago and they were discussing the SEC and ACC teams that have historically been the biggest...

My sympathies. When I was in elementary school, we lost every year during the 1960s after 1963 until 1969 but I was in high school that year. I was in early elementary when Tech beat them soundly three years in a row in 61, 62, and 63 they were not that good and had no answer for Billy...

Thank you for the explanation. I wondered about that and good to see he keeps his scholarship

I posted that "Duke, NC State, BC, and Syracuse are all winnable..." Unfortunately, with the margin of error so narrow with this team, they might be "loseable" sic as well. See, I invented a word.
