Man this whole season is going up in smoke!

Not being a jerk; serious question. When was the last national championship at Georgia Southern?

Nice videos. To answer the question on the 3rd video, no, JT doesn't take it to the house on that one. Golden had the angle and would have gotten him, IMO.

I can buy that response. The wording in the post prior made it seem like it was a certainty but I agree with you; it was certainly possible that Vad wouldn't have been the starter, even if he returned. That's an interesting question that I'll pose and try to get an answer for.

Personally, I think that's a very reasonable assertion. I will say however, that an additional reason it isn't run often is that the wide-open, passing offenses have a "sexier" appeal to recruits and it makes it an easier sell. Note that I didn't say that necessarily makes them more effective...

No way to know for sure. But my thoughts on that are, if it's such a good thing, why aren't others running it as well?

You make this claim based on what? Given 15 practices this spring as the #1 and thus, getting the most # of snaps on the team, instead of separating from the pack, the pack is catching up to him. Yet somehow if he had started the first 3 games against Elon, Duke, and North Carolina he was...

You honestly and seriously believe that Coach Paul Johnson would change his personnel substitutions and INTENTIONALLY play a player who didn't run his offense as well as another player....all just to placate a player and potentially keep him for another year? If you really believe that, then...

I've seen others post this as well so I'm curious. If you really believe this to be true, why then did Vad take over 95% of the snaps last year?

:) I'm pretty sure they don't want him adding 15 pounds. Justin's greatest asset is his speed. Fifteen pounds...even 15 pounds of muscle...would have a negative impact on his speed, I would think.

I was basing it on my interpretation of what the word "gimmick" means. I was thinking of it as one might from a marketing standpoint...which is pretty much what we're talking about here...the marketing of our offense. Per Wikipedia: Since only us and the service academies run this offense...

Well, one slight difference that I perhaps didn't convey well in my wording. This person said that it is nowhere near a sure thing that Justin will be the starter in game one. AAMOF, he even said, "if they both continue on the same trajectory as the spring, Timmy will be the starter game one"...

Just because the offense is different & I don't like it does not mean I don't understand it. And yes, I think it's gimmicky.

So you're saying you don't think it matters what the players you're trying to recruit think? Not sure I understand the logic in that statement.

I edited it. I had originally said that TB would separate but meant to say that the coaches expect JT to separate. LOL, if it weren't for me being too lazy to type out the names all the time, I probably wouldn't have made the mistake. Oh well.

Oops...yes, I did mean JT. Going to go back and edit that, if it lets me.

I always hate to post this stuff because it starts the whole "oh yeah, well who is your source? I have a source...it's my...yada yada yada" argument. But here goes, and FWIW, it comes from someone as close to the organization as possible without being Paul Johnson himself: The coaches still...

That's an incredibly risky pitch. If he does this against VT or Clemson and the LB doesn't bite so hard towards the QB (they won't...they have been using the strategy of dumping the pitch guy and forcing the QB to turn up inside), don't be surprised to see a fumble or an intercepted pitch...

The interesting thing is that he had the decent throwing QB recruited and committed in Sean Renfree when he was fired. I was ready for Chan's conservative play-calling to go as well but I admit it would have been interesting to see how Renfree looked in Gailey's offense.

Oh, I severely disagree with you on this. Prior to the Virginia Tech game last year, we walked past students trying to enter through the north end zone gates and they were being patted down. They removed flasks from 2 of them they found. Let em in the game. If they cause a problem, kick em...
