    UGA Postgame Discussion

    I think at least part of it is that none of the 4 coaches before Johnson had to deal with the same academic requirements that Johnson does. At a school like yours, that matters. I think it's time you were honest with yourselves: GT isn't willing to do what it takes to compete with a school like...

    "Best way to win a game is not to lose it"

    That's a fair point

    "adjustments"

    It's actually kind of weird. I already consider UVa's season a success, and I think we're going to tear up VT, so this loss didn't sting that much. A win for GT meant more than a win for UVa, IMO. Call me a fool, but I GENUINELY believe Woody is going to end up being a pretty daggone good DC at...

    This is what I meant. We lined up VERY tight in the box, and took chances against the run, because we didn't think you could make us pay consistently enough in the passing game. We did a risk/reward analysis, and the "aggressively attack the run" was a better expected value than "keep guys back...

    "adjustments"

    So, here is what GT has done after halftime on defense since Clemson: BGSU-7 Points Louisville-7 points (not counting 7 in a last minute garbage time drive aginst the backups) Duke-21 points VT-7 points UNC-18 points Miami-7 points UVA-6 points That's....pretty good, actually. When you consider...

    I think the recipe to beat CPJ's offense is "have better players". It also helps if GT doesn't have a credible passing threat.

    Just disrespected the hell out of your passing game. We basically flew to the ball and thought "they can't make us pay for being ultra aggressive". We were right. Marshall's a warrior, but he's a RB playing QB, and any team that respects the pass against him is making a mistake.

    I'm not being a sore loser, I promise, but I wouldn't spend much time thinking about what happens if gt beats uga. It's probably going to look like the Clemson game. Uga is a legit top 5 program right now, and GT is somewhat above average. The future looks good for gt (the defense should trend...

    Wesley Wells deserves his own thread

    it's a fabulous question. I thought we could have slammed the door.

    Wesley Wells deserves his own thread

    I deeply regret this thread. that said, tonight's game is a perfect example of how having a solid kicker changes you're thinking. Without a solid kicker, Coach Johnson probably runs it on 3rd and 6 in the 4th quarter, so that he can run it again on 4th and two, and pick up the first. with...

    Graham is NOT Vick. He is a nice prospect, but he is not Vick. We would be hearing about Graham in practice. During Vicks redshirt year, you kept hearing "y'all, there is a kid redshirting that when you see him HOLY S@#$"

    I think he's really weird, and I think if I were to know him personally, I wouldn't be a big fan. That said, 2 years improvement is 2 years improvement. There are many ways to skin a cat, and BM's (and yes, I insist on calling him BM) appears to have our program tilted in the right direction. I...

    Miami, and a couple of things, but mostly "have linebackers just as athletic as perkins". Perkins game largely revolves around his athleticism. Many of our biggest plays are nothing more complex than "in man coverage, the other teams spy couldn't deal with Perkins combination of size and speed...
