this really is funny.

There is a thing about fairy tales and once upon a time ... it is entirely possible to anticipate a play, or to play good defense, hold your ground, and make a great play. But what was he gonna read? "T right X flop A gap"? And that tells him ... what? No. He didn't read lips. (The play was from...

Makes all those big runs he has made even more impressive, too. They knew he was coming, and ...

And everything you just did on defense is neutralized when the QB gets his count at the line and determines direction and for all we know, blocking schemes that change seemingly every play. For such a simple 7-9 play offense it sure gets complicated.

In a word, no. A little known fact your local services for the hearing impaired group can tell you: even life-long deaf people cannot read lips. (Ah, you say. But I saw a coach yesterday and he used the F word and I saw it! Like, how can you miss it? What did he say next?) You might SWAG a word...

As I said, 90 out of 100.

I know I am a skeptic. But every time I read about a kid going to Tech or anywhere else "for the education" I look for a cue card somewhere. 90 of a 100 go because that's where they were recruited, they liked the recruiter and/or the HC or both, and at 18, frankly Scarlette, 80 of those 90...

Thanks. That clarifies it.

I do not understand the process he uses, and I'm sure there is one. But I have never quite gotten over his failure to get Byerly into the Orange Bowl against MSU for at least one series when we had the game locked. I didn't then and still don't, given there was never any indication of an injury...

Take all the time you want to do your research and collect your thoughts, then tell us the last time Johnson benched his starting QB. I will even give you Washington/Lee except that didn't last and was really alternate series kind of stuff. Johnson thinks his starting QB is like the president...

I am not sure that is correct. Seems that was a problem with a couple of graduated xfers who still had a year of eligibility left and the coaches wanted it used with them.

such is the nature of every call. If it works ..

Now, since it is in the rear view mirror, I remember the throwback to Barrick with fondness. Not until I saw Venables on the Clemson sideline have I thought a coach as near a stroke as Johnson when Barrick for some reason went twinkle toes instead of playing his old position of tight end mean...

way down from the 8 or 9 Johnson normally takes into a game.

We are paranoid about Georgia. There is nothing new in the throwback, and as AE87 notes, the option to the pitchback was keep it and run, and if it ends in a score it is a successful play.

Never mind. Just saw the thread. Sorry.

UNC's Williams told the story of his 1st NC at Chapel Hill. Somebody said the team had really not played all that well, and he responded they had just won the title. To which the guy said, "Yeah, but what do you think old Dean would have done with that team?" And frankly somehow I doubt the...

Did I miss something here with Jordan?

If that be so then mission accomplished. Now go over the top.

I do agree with that But neither do they have, in theory, the athletes Georgia Tech has. That is Johnson's view when the speed of their option game is brought up: Tech's is faster because of the athletes. So they are beating inferior teams with inferior athletes, again a theory. But is that so...
