But SSU put no pressure on them in that situation to think about their call or think about a check or anything. They could get to the line, get the call and run with it because SSU did nothing to make them think they might want to check off or check down. They may as well been lined up against...

You almost have to throw out the Savannah State game as anything meaningful in any context. It was like going up against a scout team with blocking shields. Southern's good and even a little better than I'd thought they be. They're still not very good on defense and I believe the secondary is...

You really can't use Savannah State as any kind of measuring stick because they are just that bad. Fritz could have had them line up backwards and they would have put up 60 on SSU. They have no business being in Division I. And they keep proving it. That may be the worst football team at any...

in the SoCon, Samford, Furman, Wofford and App weren't the lesser games last year, even though App was putrid (and boatraced Southern. That was just unforgivable. But not nearly as unforgivable as losing at home to Furman.) Southern did go to three straight semifinal games, and if they had had a...

Inducted the same day as Pat Douglas, Brendan Douglas' dad, with Josh Nesbitt having a front row seat to watch it at halftime.

And this...

Agree on Ellison, and kid has already been in big situations (NC State, Florida). Upshaw can fly, but Ellison seems to have a good handle on the offense. I'd put their O line as their next biggest playmakers. Very veteran group. Still getting used to the new blocking schemes, but it's a very...

He really does have a great sense of humor. His off the record stuff, from what I hear, is absolutely terrific. I've heard tales of him going to the frats and imbibing with the students during his GSU days. He's 57 now, so I don't think that's really in play anymore. He turned 40 during his...

There's nothing to play for this year, either. No playoffs, no bowl game. Southern can go 11-1 and will get a pat on the head and a "that's nice." Oh, I remember all the talk last year before the season about running the table in the SoCon and all the "Eagle pride" to play for. Now a bunch of...

Wofford thumped Southern last year, when GSU had McKinnon after the Eagles crushed two chumps to start the year. And it's pretty much the same Southern team and they're running a lot of stuff they ran last year. PJ will make sure Tech takes this game with all gravity possible. I expect this to...

Remember that McKinnon was the QB for so long - and was playing other positions too - so the air game wasn't exactly a priority, even going into last year. And when you've got McKinnon/Swope on the field in any combination, I wouldn't throw it much, either. Besides, against Savannah State, why...

Or the nola.com Tulane beat writer who called Byerly Tech's short-yardage specialist QB. While he does come in on goal line situations, the way it reads it makes it sound like that's all he does. And JT played in all the short-yardage situations last week.

Game stat sheets only mention those who participated at any point in the game and it's not broken down by quarters. I haven't seen any postgame stat pack ever do that.

How fast did Snoddy hit that hole and start pulling away from folks on the little "pitch" from Thomas?

31-20 Jackets

Greg smith went to Jacksonville State, IIRC, and wound up playing against Tech

Wofford is consistently one of the top 5 rushing teams in FCS, and it's not just scheme. They have had very good O lines and O linemen. And sometimes the difference between a FBS player and a FCS player isn't much - it's just that at FBS, there are more of them. Having seen more than a few...

I think some of the folks on the Georgia Southern message board were impressed with JT. Once he settled down yesterday, he played very well. Seemed a little too amped up for the first 25 minutes. I think that last drive for the field goal before the half may have forced him to have a different...

62-6 Jackets.

Can you imagine being the other team, already getting your eyes beat out, and Tech puts in its third (or higher) string A back and it's Snoddy zipping through your JV defense?
