I don't think I would be opposed to athletes having the opportunity to profit from their image (much like Olympic athletes do). I am not aware of, nor have I thought through, the potential negatives that could arise from that. The positives I can think of are that schools are not paying...

That's pretty cool. So did you get wind of someone starting a campaign on kickstarter.com to purchase it?

I can take a weak stab at it. If I'm getting wrong or someone else can explain more clearly, please chime in. I've not watched film like a lot of these guys have, but here it goes: General - We do not zone block very much compared to a lot of other teams. Our linemen have a more attacking...

The off-season needs to end. Everyone is losing their mind.

This is a good assessment as well. I think that getting back to our bread and butter is our best chance of helping the passing game in this offense (and helping us win games for that matter). Some folks don't like Johnson's offense, which is fine. For us to have offensive success under the...

Agree. We owned Duke last year and played very well in that game.

I would think it could happen in one of the first three games, but I would hate to waste the weapons we have at receiver right now. I would think that Johnson will throw if we've got guys who can catch it.

I can see how in our system, if we run the option well then we will pass more effectively. I think CPJ also mentions in the article that his system is built off the triple option. If you can't run the option well then all of the variations in the running game and your play action passing are...

This season feels like a complete toss up to me. On the one hand, we don't have very much experience, with glaring concerns on the DL. On the other hand, it seems like we have more upside with more talented athletes on our roster than we've had so far under Johnson. I can usually muster up a...

Nice. What were our F/+ and s&p+ rankings in 2013?

I am trying to stay positive here, but our d-line just feels like a tire fire waiting to happen. It is hard to imagine it not being a glaring weakness this season. Every team in college football has question marks before the season, but this has been unbelievable. Definitely need offense and...

To me, this has been the crucible of our season since Johnson started coaching in 2008. If we don't beat one of these two teams, we seem to spiral for a bit afterward.

I appreciate these posts @Longestday . I personally enjoy this variety of offseason discussion more so than others.

Pretty fair assessment. Good stuff.

I agree with @Longestday and the OP (I'm assuming @AE 87 is in favor of our O?). I do not believe there is anything wrong with our O. I do not have stats to back this up, but I recall Clemson just outscoring us and nailing each and every big play against us last season. I was at the UGA game...

Thanks for the summary @gtrower . I think you hit the nail on the head with JT. If he has quarterback intelligence to go with his speed and quickness, we'll have some entertainment at the very least. Man, it looks like the Coastal division could be all over the place yet again. Duke and UVA...

UNC loses Renner. How did their backup do last year after Renner went down with the injury?

I am personally really pumped about this game. Everyone that can make needs to show up. New Orleans is a blast and it is one more opportunity to watch some GT football.

Agreed. I really don't know what to expect out of our guys this season, so what the heck....like you said, let's roll the dice and see what happens.

I guess this prediction is not that different from years past. For the coastal, we always seem to be placed middle to bottom of the pack, and VT, Miami, and UNC are typically picked in the top 3, with VT or Miami going to the championship against FSU. This is a very predictable pre-season...
