    How Many Yards Will GT Run For Against Duke

    I hope Dook does crowd the line. We were very effective up the middle with midline and follows when UL crowded the line.

    Louisville Post Game

    We gave up a ton of yards. Some after we were up big and playing a more prevent coverage. But we still “look” better than previous years. I’ve always wanted an attacking, risk-taking D to pair with this O and we are getting it. The pressure packages are getting more complex each game...

    Athletic Director's Update

    You truly are gifted. No sarcasm. It takes talent to cherry pick data the way you do. 2008/2009 don’t count because CCG. 2014 was “fool’s gold” You don’t even mention 2016. That’s rich, man.

    Athletic Director's Update

    Agreed on 98. I was thinking 90, 98, and sort of just giving everyone their pick of 99, or 2000, or 2006 just for the sake of argument.

    Athletic Director's Update

    This is where you guys give yourselves away. GT got its doors blown off that night, not CPJ’s offense. And 2008 was nationally relevant due to finishing with a huge win over UGAg and kicking off a new era. Whether you add 2016 or take away 2008, my argument is still sound.

    Athletic Director's Update

    Last I’ll say about it in this thread (some of you hate CPJ, the option, waking up in the morning, anyway, so arguments won’t matter): GT football has been nationally relevant about 6 times since the 1950s. Three of those times (2008, 2009, 2014) have been in the CPJ era. I’ll take it. You...

    Athletic Director's Update

    What’s bizarre is this continued argument by some that the CPJ era at GT hasn’t been one of the best eras of GT football in history. Good grief, man, you even complained about 2014 because of the Duke loss. A season where we beat UGAg, won a BCS bowl, and finished top-10! It’s not about...

    Athletic Director's Update

    So which historical period of GT football has been better? I missed that in your rebuttal to @GTRX7 The revisionist history that gets thrown around on this board during a down season is downright comical.

    Man... I wonder who decided to start giving all those participation trophies? Must've been the kids themselves.

    1st Half Def. Breakdown vs. Clemson

    I agree 100%! Those three are ballers, and an absolute upgrade in pure talent over any DBs we've had recently (and that's no knock on Griffin, Gray, the Austins). The three you mentioned, plus others like Juanyeh Thomas are just dudes who pop off the screen in an obvious manner when it comes...

    Quality contribution to the dialogue.

    Redshirt Changes

    What does anybody expect Dabo to do differently? I've watched Clemson play. Lawrence is simply better than Bryant, and will continue to improve. As a coach, you play the best player, as long as the best player is eligible and isn't negative. I understand Bryant transferring after the...

    Anyone remember Vad Lee ?

    Flip this whole scenario to imagine Josh Nesbitt going to play for Mike Leach. Would you fault Mike Leach for not going to a power QB running game? VL knew what offense he was coming to play in. I don't fault the kid for anything. He was a kid. He had ability and could have excelled at...

    One game seasons

    Learn to enjoy watching single games for the excitement they have to offer. Two of my favorite GT game memories (both with my dad) were beating NCSU sometime in the 90s where CJ Williams scored like 3 second half TDs and beating Maryland when Michael Johnson single-handedly stopped them inside...

    There is still a chance

    We DO need more work on the option. We have run so little true triple option this year, it's ridiculous. I think some of that is a result of losing KB. I think he and TM had some mesh chemistry. That is difficult to get together on.

    Fire Paul johnson for Taking Tobais Oliver out of the game

    I remember being someone who wanted so badly for CCG to succeed here, because I felt like he did things the right way. I soured after '06 when we squandered CJ's junior year and a team loaded with talent. The difference, to me, are the highs that CPJ has led us to, which are undeniably...

    2014 Clemson vs GT

    The gap between GT and CU right now has far more to do with CU as a program. 2014 was before CU had really turned that corner.

    Specific questions about CPJ backing

    True on the coaching staff #s. For a comparison re: support staff... Tyson Summers is in an "off-field" supporting staff role at UGAg. He can also recruit. Say what you will about his time as HC at GSU, but that is a former NCAA HEAD FOOTBALL COACH that works for UGAg but doesn't even get on...

    Specific questions about CPJ backing

    I had considered starting a thread that similarly tried to take an objective look at CPJ's tenure at GT, and his likely future. If you've followed my posting history, I've been a CPJ supporter from the beginning. Not b/c I am some option fanboy, but because I've followed his entire career, and...
