Northeast, I don't know the answer to 1 but I think I might have a way to find out. One of the rosters released in the last coupla weeks had a mini-pronunciation guide included. I don't know if Qua was on it, but he probably was. I can't find it now, but maybe someone can.

Danny's thought here rings true for me. His snap numbers will go up as the temp comes down.

Skeptic, I'm with you. This is no doubt the most speed and explosiveness we've ever had at A. With the exception of Snoddy, none have played but they all look like they know what they're doing.

Boomer, did Rook-Chungong play much? Going into the game I think he was listed as a co-starter. I have to admit to being a little disappointed that Freeman wasn't able to work himself free more. My biggest defensive concern by far this year is pass rush.

Once again, Boomer, your analyses are a wonderful bonus to this board. I wondered why in the early going some of our wide plays were so poorly blocked. We made some nice gains purely on the speed and athleticism of our backs. But knowing how the defense was lining up makes it make sense...

I have the same recollection as AE 87 and Carobar. There was a time when a player could play in three games and still be redshirted. But I think the rule was changed in the last couple of years.

I am not sure that all of my points haven't already been covered, but here they are. -- Loved the overall sharpness and focus. I have seen many a GT team under many a coach sleep walk through an early game against a little team. Not last night. Nothing about it looked like a first game...

bless you, cheese! My local affiliate apparently dropped the ball on switching to the show. It's one of those robo stations with no one to call.

I feel bad for Summers. He has been on the field for us for a long time, but never got to be the featured receiver. He might not yet, but I know he won't be if he doesn't play. I hope he is able to quickly shake what is bothering him. I am amazed at how many of last year's class are on the...

Paul Johnson doesn't run up the score unless it's against someone he really doesn't like. I think we will win comfortably, but I'm not sure of covering this one. The only other one that gets my attention is Louisville - Auburn. I don't know who returns, but I'd say that's a toss up.

I guess if I had to make such a list, it would look pretty close to this. After the first two, we really don't have any gimmes, do we? A flat or mistake prone day could mean a loss almost anywhere. I don't like playing Duke at Durham after Notre Dame. It's not that I think Duke is gonna be...

I probably don't know enough about a lot of these guys to work up sufficient loathing. Only two come to mind, Saban and Miles. I hate Saban mostly for his slimy recruiting tactics. What doubles my anger is apparently he is thought an outstanding citizen in some quarters. Myles I know little...

If Marshall is still in the lead on opening day, this is big. I know Allen hasn't practiced at B a lot and Skov is brand new, but still, if a true freshman earns the start, it says to me he has major talent.

Rod as starter has really grown on me. He isn't the most ferocious run stopper or pass rusher, but he is pretty good at both. Gamble, Whitehead, and Simmons look to be one or the other but not both. Like all our returning linemen, he is a year bigger and wiser. My main hope is he can augment...

I suspect I am guilty of chugging too much offseason Kool-Aid. I no doubt overreacted to the two articles. In my offseason glow, I had penciled in instant stardom for Shamire and JH, and it was an unpleasant surprise to see they aren't yet even starters. It doesn't happen like that. As has...

1) No one has laid claim to right tackle. The hope from me and 'bout everyone was that a better conditioned Shamire would step up and establish himself. Hasn't happened. 2) Jabari is practicing with the second team. He has not been able to displace Gamble at tackle. IIRC, Gamble had a...

I'm with Techster. I keep scratching my head wondering why the guy I saw in the spring game didn't wow more people.

The author makes many good points. But let's see what luck they have executing them. In his first paragraph, he talks about the win turning UNC's season around. the thing is, the loss had a lot to do with turning our season around too. It was after that game, IIRC, that PJ told Ted Roof...

If he's anywhere close, I would imagine he's right about August practice taking a good bit more off. Big fellows like him can drop pounds in hurry in the August sun.

17 is not a bad place to start from, but if we were more of a big name team, there is no doubt we would have started a lot higher.... Look at all the five and six loss SEC teams. I guess the end of last season is quickly forgotten.
