Greater ability can help you overcome a certain amount of bad luck. That is why perennial powerhouses often win even when they're not having a good day. We have all watched games where one team fortuitously had the lead but because of the greater skill and depth of the other team you knew it...
The first for me was DJ's interception vs Va Tech. When they had the ball with a few minutes remaining all I could think was "crap they have just enough time to move down the field against our less-than-stellar defense and win the game". Then I though "I wish for once we would get a turnover...
They may not all know what an axiom is, but the writers all start with the axiom that the SEC is in a league by itself. However they do recognize that there are other teams that can compete with them. Stanford and Oregon for example have earned their way to a higher place in the mind of the...
We should see quite a difference on both sides of the ball in the Tulane game this year. Hopefully by early 3rd quarter we are subbing liberally and JT is enjoying cheerleading from the bench.
I would add self discipline and mental acuity. SA's that can handle the academic rigors of TECH probably tend to have more self discipline than the average SA's on other teams. Those who have the self discipline, smarts and study skills to pass at Tech can apply those same skills to the learning...
And both speak straightforwardly with little if any embellishment. There is no "hype" in response to reporter's questions and I think it is at least partially because they take a mature professional "calm and committed" attitude to the game.
Just watched the Orange Bowl series which ended with JT throwing an interception after being chased around for quite some time. This year he should be calmer and hopefully make fewer such mistakes. When you have the combination of 1) the speed, elusiveness and now experienced passing of JT 2) a...
Musberger was understandably wanting to add some color to the game by talking about Cory Dennis marrying Urban Meyer's daughter conversation as the game began to become monotonously one-sided. It almost seemed to me that the "they just can't stop it folks" statement was almost an apology by him...
Maybe I am splitting hairs but I was pleased that he preceded "better" with "much". CPJ is not one for hyperbole and I hope his optimism is born out this year.
CPJ' statement "We're anxiously optimistic that we're going to be much better defensively and hopefully they can be a big part of leading the team early on till some of the young skill guys can develop" hits my expectation as well. It is hard to see how we wouldn't be significantly better than...
