Well, it just might be that Taquan, or JJ or LJ could push Matthew to the bench. On the other hand, if these guys don't get the Carpe Diem now, they might never. Competition is a good thing makes everybody better. But, if Matthew had established himself as a clear number one, then this is...

Edit: Cleve Pounds was the player whose name escaped me. Props to Ken Parker, Ivery Lee, Glynn Spencer and Donnie Chisom among others as well. Tough teams that were outstanding in their day. Memorable wins over Georgia and Michigan State in the All America Bowl as well as a fantastic game...

I don't know about All American but when he hit people they generally went backwards on the way to going down. He was a founding member of the Black Watch defense and between him, Pat Swilling, Mark Hogan, Jim Anderson, and that dude that played rover (Can't remember his name but he always...

Yeah, my in laws from the east side of the Alabama River always told me those people on the west side talked funny with that Cajun type pronunciation. Many of them are descended, so I am told, from William Weatherford a famous Creek Indian. I don't really care how he talks as long as he has...

I did not know that. Really? Even so, now that I think about it somehow that seems about what you would expect from that "certain defensive coach".

My memory of that game was that we whipped them up front for a change especially Will, Freddie, Parker, and Shamire. As I recall, they had a really quick and athletic tackle who was a bit undersized and made some plays but our guards pretty much blocked him into the middle of next week. No...

Brings to mind a player Florida had some years ago: Ahmad Black, a defensive back. He was widely derided as just a placeholder until much more talented defensive backs asserted themselves. He was said to be in various ways: "Not big enough" Not fast enough" "Only a three star" "Last...

Take a gander at those legs, shoulders, and biceps. That is what a football player is supposed to look like. Impressive.

What he said. Listen to the man, he knows what he is talking about.

I still believe that when it is all said and done this year's offensive line will go down as the best in the Johnson era. Perhaps no All Americans like Shaq but still from tackle to tackle the best, perhaps in living memory.

My thoughts on the aforementioned "ducks". MJ had never started a game at Tech before. Hostile stadium crowd. GT was a big underdog. To be sure, he was on a very tight lease. We were going to run the dive and the midline right at them period. He did not have to win the game by himself...

My beloved wife is from southwest Alabama. Monroeville is just across the Alabama River from Jackson. Anyway, the chatter from her football fan relatives was that MJ was the best quarterback to come out of their neck of the woods in some years. We will see. The article talked about how...

Understandable. To be honest, I cannot think of any quarterbacks we pursued who would be really any better than what we have. If Coach Johnson is happy, then I am happy. They will be fine and it will sort itself out in the long run. The one constant is that the most popular player on the...

I like what we have. The most important thing is buy in. Are you willing to learn how to run the option from under center? Can you take the punishment? Do you make good decisions on whether to keep or pitch? Can you make the throws knowing your guy more than likely will be open...

Likely as not we did it by bringing one or both of the safeties up in run support. Both of them are pretty good at tackling. Lawrence or is it Lance? Can't ever seem to keep them straight. The one that plays nickle is a good tackler also.

Of course, I meant Shaq Mason. (Senior moment again!) Those two will be the template for what a bull dozing guard should look like in this offense for years to come. They were that good.

Could be. But then, that would not allow the "Golden Boy" to showcase his talents like throwing behind a receiver that resulted in a critical fourth quarter turnover.

I am amazed at some of the names on this list. Michigan State and Penn State (the original Linebacker U) giving up more points that we do? What's the world coming to? Now, many of them are expected: North Carolina, Kentucky, Mizzou, but still this is surprising to say the least. Oh I...

Gee, Will looks like a pro player already. How about that neck? Many of these guys look cut and ready to play ball.

If I was Tennessee, I would run right at Tech. It has been a formula for Georgia for years. Why they got away from it in the fourth quarter last year is a mystery.
