Why don't you talk to several women for their views? Because there are several reasons. I don't have an opinion on Gotsis at all -- the courts will sort it out -- but I have talked to rape victims. In terms of how women react there is a difference in the out-and-out sexual assault and sexual...

But you did ...

I am stopping short of prayer, but I am hopeful. In other news, Chan Gailey fans will be happy to know that come April he will be inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. Others will be Dabo Swinney, Tim Hudson -- a terrific major leaguer for 17 years, and ... Terrell Owens. Still not...

I am easily confused. Are you saying the new DC is running Roof's defense?

I'd buy that a coach might run a play during the game because it worked in practice against the same defensive scheme; it is why you practice after all, so that could work as long as he considers speed and quickness. I wouldn't think Johnson would assume a play run against his defense in...

I believe it originated with John McKay, but he was coaching Tampa Bay at the time. A really bad team I think.

True. And Swinney got back three or four linemen and LBs who were expected to go pro, so Clemson is loaded again this year. A lot of ACC teams will not enjoy playing them. But that being said, and despite what Swinney or others say about special attention, Clemson will set aside several days...

i gather that then that you are not a student at the Institute?

Scattered in the hyperbole like a salted gold field are a couple of truths. But first: the premise is the wrong debate. Johnson runs the football. It ain't complicated. He runs the football. No point in reconstructing a 10-year-old discussion. When Johnson was an OC at Hawaii they chunked it in...

In HS I had a coach who dismissed all concern about quickness, juke moves, deception, etc. "Keep your head right on his belly button," he preached. That part didn't fool me, that is true. But a guy from the side deposited me into last week. Whereupon the ball coach screamed at me to "Keep your...

28 is an interesting figure. Is that from the typical college roster, or from the unlimited numbers the service academies are allowed? (And if you want to see a QB keep it and run for his life offense, Army is your ticket. Even Navy is a bit broader on offense. Bradshaw has some suggestions of...

I hope the new guy is really serious -- seriously serious -- about simplifying the defense: "Look for the one with the ball. Knock him down soon."

First things first, and all my opinion only. Obviously. But: Johnson's offense is the toughest option for anybody to run. That is because of the spacing -- the fullback is in the QB's hip pocket, better to burst into the line and force an instant decision from the defense -- no read and react...

This on both counts. When the spacing is right between the QB and pitch back and the relationship is right -- four and four are the numbers I have read, deep and to the outside (visible) to the QB, then it is a basketball floor or soccer field with passing lanes created by the spacing. And yep...

It's true isn't it? You can't coach speed.

Okay, that would allow him to be on the practice field. Tech needs to get a couple of its good graduates back into school in a master's program. (Or if they left without graduating, get them back to finish.) I gather if you are a student you can be on the field regardless of the number of coaches.

'splain for me please. I thought 10 coaches, up from nine last season, is the new coaching limit. If so how can he be on the practice field? There are all kinds of hinky provisions for the factories of this world and they have non-field personnel stacked everywhere as anaysts, etc. who are not...

A question that to a non-GT guy sounds logical but perhaps in the Tech world not so much: if the professor was routinely handing out grade like that, where was the dean? Because clearly the prof was not in front of the class to teach it.

Well, how about Occam's Razor, a simpler answer where less can blow up on us: how about a quarterback who can actually run the triple option? Does anybody seriously think Johnson has shelved the Triple O because somebody defenses it better? The QB has to make two quick and accurate reads and...
