Jerry Mays - Hit Hobie Holliday - Big Miss

Whether or not the WR's improve is entirely up to the GCG and the B Back. If we improve up the middle so that the opposing linebackers and safeties have to stay home, then our WR's will look good. If our WR's improve their blocking, then that also makes the B Back more effective, which will in...

If you believe as I do that the offense will be better, and since for the offense to be successful the B Back must be successful, ergo, the B Back will be better. Not saying anything about the talent of the B backs this year versus last. I just think that the improved quarterback execution of...

It's somewhat of a symbiotic relationship. The better your offense, then the better the defense becomes as it has to practice against a good offense. And vice versa. You could easily make the argument that some of our offensive woes over the past few seasons was because the defense it was...

that we will be running in the fall? I thought at first that Ted was just doing all that blitzing to prepare the offense to handle what some teams have been throwing at us. But upon further review of the spring game, it occurs to me that may be what we run. If we start with the premise that...

The coaches know way more about player's ceilings than I ever will. That said, measurables and high ceilings will sometimes get you Stephen Hill at WR. Ignoring them will sometimes get you George Godsey or John Dewberry at qb, but might also get you a Reggie Ball, too. Anybody remember Eddie...

OOPS!, but then again, that should really confuse a defense.

OK, now that you amateurs have gotten your pathetic opinions off your chests, here's what just happened Friday night. ;) This offense is gonna punch some people in the mouth this year. On a rain soaked field with no threat of passing against an improved defense that knows the offense as well...

Calc III back in the quarter days. Had a professor named Robinson in the summer quarter. Without a doubt, the best professor I ever had. Made it seem like simple addition. Guy in the class had been lucky enough to have Robinson for the first two classes of calc and said it was that way in...

In spring, you try to find out what you don't know. That means you get a little Laskey and a lot of Custis. We'll all think that means he's the starter when all it means is that Custis needs the reps. Will be true at some other positions, too, especially on defense. I expect CPJ will make...

Ask the government and trial lawyers. They spend a lot of time and money tracking race and sex of every activity in the country.

My recollection is that in 2010, the primary problem was our absolutely awful Special Teams. Missed field goals, short punts, fumbled kicks, opponents' kick returners running wild. Do you remember just how bad it was? The secondary problem was a defense trying to learn the 3-4. With a porous...

Not sure we want heroes. My father and all the other WWII veterans I knew said that the heroes were the ones that didn't come back. That would mean that all the heroes have left us.

Last year this time, we were confident at qb, and worried about receivers. Receivers stepped up, qb stepped down. Last year this time, we were worried about DT. Gotsis stepped it up. Last year this time, we were worried about losing Big ol' Orwin at A-back. Little bitty Godhigh stepped up and...

Thomas is no doubt a better fit at qb in the TO than VL. Because of that, he will most likely make the players around him better since they were recruited to play in the TO and have been practicing it for several years. Looking back, I would classify last year as confused. That's sorta how...

1976 ND 1990 Clemson - Neither team nor their fans had anything left at the end 2002 at NC State when they were undefeated and top 5/10 with 4th qtr comeback

Just a hypothetical, but I'd bet the reason we didn't sign Byerly out of high school was because Vad had committed. If Vad had gone somewhere else initially, would Byerly have been the backup in 2012 and the starter last year? I think so, and we'd have a solid TO qb for the next two years...

Speaking of Choice, to me his best attribute was that he was one of those backs that gets stronger as the game goes on. He punished tired defenses in the 4th qtr, and I'd bet 40+% of his yds came in the 4th. Godsey was that way at qb. He was a machine in the 4th qtr. Took both of them a...

The question is, "Will we be better?" You can't separate qb play from the ol, so lets's start there first. We lost a lot of talent on the ol, but that talent wasn't on the field, healthy, or playing in their natural position for much of the year. So 'will we be better' must be measured...

Had two things happen this last week that I found interesting. Saturday night, my wife and I were having dinner with a former client of her's and the client's husband. He is an Auburn grad, a pharmacy major that had been a regional sales manager covering several states for a major...
