Nothing "tricky" about it. An interesting proposition to be sure. But young people live much of their time "conflicted". Alas, have you not read Hamlet? The answer to your confessed state of confusion is quite simple. A beat down at the end of an 0-12 UGA season would be the ultimate in...

I agree with this except the last two sentences. Did not like them before, do not like them now, will not like them in the future. I will root for Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina, Auburn, Clemson, and anybody else you care to name that is playing Georgia. That's just the way it is.

Thank you both Longest Day and Dressed for answering my question. This is the inside veer the basic play of the triple option. A good read by MJ and nice run by Marcus. Sigh! I am going to miss him.

I do not understand the thinking of not blocking that middle linebacker. That man must be hit on any dive play. That said, the blocking in this game was a sight to behold. Those men were putting it all out on the line. I assume VT #94 had outside containment on the quarterback. Is that...

Before this year is out, we just might miss good old Mr. Dependable Marcus Marshall. I know Mills has the tools to be an all time great but that position HAS to have a capable backup that will play significant minutes in every game. It is the nature of the beast. I hope Kirvonte and Q are...

I agree with almost all of this. I am not sure you can have an all PJ team with only two A backs. Why not more? That said, I would put Orwin, Robbie, and Lynch in with Roddy Jones. Same with B back. Dwyer obviously, then the Davis/Laskey combo (can't have one without the other) and...

I agree with all of this (including A back being the toughest) I am not sure that I would place Hill over Smelter. That one is tough too.

Thanks Ballin for answering my question. Can you imagine being a defensive tackle and seeing BIG Shamire Devine barreling down on you with a full head of steam. Thank you I will watch the carnage from the stands. Lord have mercy!

What is this play? A counter trap of some sort? A regular called dive? Something else? Sorry for my ignorance. In high school I played defense and it was pretty simple 3 deep zone. There is the ball go get it. Offense gives me headaches.

If you mean including his teams at Navy and Georgia Southern, no one would know except PJ (and long time assistants) and he is not talking. Now if we are discussing the All Georgia Tech PJ Team that opens it up for discussion by this board. JT is right there with Nesbitt. Dedrick has the...

Seldom do I see a long post that I agree with in its entirety. We will, have difficulty replacing Pat and PJ. I know there are some that consider Francis a bust but he came on in the latter part of last year and gave us some good plays. I think we will be better on defense this year simply...

I knew there was a reason why Lawrence Austin was able to intercept that pass against UGA. We had 6 DBs in the game so naturally we had everyone covered while rushing 5 with 2 linebackers. Yep, that will work even for us.

Well, gentlemen the gauntlet has been thrown down. There is little to no respect shown for our program. Question is, what do we do about it? "We" of course, being the players and coaches. Are we really on the level of Iowa State, SMU, Kansas, and Wake Forests of this world ? Or are we a...

That 6-2 hung around for a long time. The split 60 used by among others, UGA and Virginia Tech was I presume a variant of that original defense. Others more knowledgeable may wish to correct me but I am thinking UGA used that split 60 into the 1980s and Virginia Tech was using it until the...

Good catch. Yes, my "sometimers" had kicked in. Of course, I was thinking of the 91 bowl. I had forgotten about the Seattle Bowl win. Coach Mac did a great job for that game. Not bad for a former bulldog. (I think?)

Well, one of the major advantages to using the triple option (in this particular case the wishbone) that was pointed out by Emory Bellard, Bear Bryant, and Daryl Royal among others is that every assignment does not have to carried out to perfection to have a big play. The coaches of that era...

It is true that in recent years Stanford has outperformed us from a national perspective. However, the last time we played them in a bowl we beat them although we were a significant underdog. Willie "Big Play" Clay gathered in a punt in the fourth quarter with the return eventually leading to...

Coach Mason is a good man but Butch would sell his mother down the river for a 5 star he wanted badly enough.

I am quite certain, that the athletic department at Georgia Tech is in good hands. Similarly, Coach Johnson and his staff have begun to make clear progress in recruiting. It is remarkable how long it takes a new football staff at Tech to fully come to grips with the peculiar challenges that...

MJ's strength is on display here. Much like Nesbitt this boy is not going down with an arm tackle he will just run right through it.
