Having nothing to do with QB rating but I don't see another place for it, does anybody know how many plays of 10 yards or more we had against Tennessee?

Look at that tape again. As Richard Pryor said in another context, who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?

I think, but I do not know, that Johnson did not feel under prepared. and as I recall he was offering scholarships before Butker graduated. Perhaps someone will ask him or better yet tell him. Meanwhile, the kid missed. And that is why kickers are different, in a nutshell right there. A kicker...

Before we stand this kid against the wall, lighten up. There are so many moving parts to a FG or XP that some coach is going to have to break down the tape on both kicks and see who broke down and where, and how much blame rests with the kicker or holder and how much with the O line, or for that...

Actually as a freshman Butker very often was not end zone-deep on his kickoffs. Surprised everybody but they were snagging his kicks at the five or so.

For those of us who do not speak in acronyms and code ... who is this guy? I got the CPJ part but the other ...

I don't think we saw even a minute part of the play book Saturday night. First game, first QB start, first BB start. Those guys were so new they probably met for the first time in the huddle. Johnson stirs it in as the season moves along and if you recall there was even a time when he...

I'm sure you're right, but I recall a couple or three years ago he made some reference about always being able to see the whole field though he never quite understood why. And yep, his critique was terrific. Maybe it was because he was serving it up hot. (I still want to believe if i looked at...

See, I done told y'all. He passes and now he shouldn't have.

Speaking of, it was almost jarring to see him on the sideline next to Johnson a couple of times.

About every team does it in some form, and Clemson won a NC with it. Sometimes it is called, often it is not. Depends as the saying goes on whose ox is gored.

Actually he looked back at the end which probably saved him. There was some jostling but I really didn't see enough there to throw a flag. You have to give the defender a chance to compete downfield and so some contact is permitted.

Interesting "inside" option stuff from all hands, starting with Johnson. For Tech fans, a painful excursion into a night of more than 600 yards total offense, an astonishing 535 yards rushing, 41 points, and a loss on the last play of the game for the proverbial lack of a nail. As a post script...

Lord, man. We should all be so lucky.

Reading this and other D comments made me sit my wretched soul down and do a four-hour penance by watching the game again, fast-forwarding a lot of the offense to look at the defense again. To my surprise I am in general agreement. The defense wasn't bad enough to lose, though that frustrating...

Had a good kicker named Dodd one time, too. HOF as I recall.

Here's a question for you, and I don't pretend to know. A lifetime friend who has remained so despite matriculating at Georgia Tech, and who enjoys Georgia Tech football but is not a born again with it, had this theory when I pondered it with him a couple of years ago. Maybe, he said, Georgia...

He does have kind of a funky, non-track running style. That left arm is flailing away to help him keep his balance (I guess) and maybe costs him some burst speed. But I'll take him for sure.

It's hard to see it being any easier to score on us if we were wide open aggressive.
