I believe I have spotted one. He has a tendency to run the ball a lot.

I apologize if this appears elsewhere. I looked and didn't find it. One of the reasons I enjoy Johnson no matter how much he aggravates me. From Mark Bradley column today about GT: "Then again, he’s still Paul Johnson. When someone asked if Carolina’s defensive shifting – essentially the Heels’...

I do want to clarify my reference to this offense and good athletic QBs. I certainly didn't intend to suggest Marshall is not a really good one, because he is. I guess i was backing into the requirements of the job in a QB world that is chuck-and-duck or stand seven yards back and read an end...

This season can go south in a hurry with Miami, Clemson, Va. and VT looming, and I am not sure where Wake Forest will fit. Then of course there is this other team down the road. Marshall today looked like somebody who has not played much varsity QB but can play some, and maybe that is why the...

Not sure about Jeune, but yes to your first thought. It was just herky jerky and a whole bunch of 360 spins before Marshall took off running and sometimes pitched it; too many pitches were kind of high and away, too many handoiffs right into the chest of a D lineman and poor Benson was four...

Oh, I think a back who gets 130 yards or so is gonna play. He just will, no matter how Johnson fulminates. I too thought the defense really showed up, and it was a good thing. Marshall is still learning how to run that option, and make really good pitches. But meantime: does anybody remember...

Watched parts of last week's game in preparation for today. What I hope Johnson fixed was that suddenly acquired bad habit of trying to cut back to the inside when challenged on the edge. Again and again Tech runners quit there and turned back into 2-3 tacklers in pursuit. They weren't going...

I love it when you talk dirty.

If we get up I don't want to see any subs unless they are nuclear attack boats.

The argument is circular. Everybody, including coaches, always give absolution if it fits their narrative.disclaim (What they say in the locker room is another story.) But there are between defense and offense maybe 160 plays a game. What difference does it make whether A made a mistake early...

Wanna know how good Thomas was? His best year at GT was 2009, when he had only 46 catches, but for more than 1,000 yards. His QBs were Josh Nesbitt who could throw the ball through the proverbial battleship he could never hit, and Tevin Washington, enough said. He played WR for Paul Johnson who...

Yes, that's the guy. Has been a very good safety for Seattle, I think it is. I have always wondered if Johnson read those comments and put part of his game scheming aside to rap his knuckles so to speak.

Swinney was not trying to run it up against Louisville, in the sense of pouring it on, and he actually used three QBs and his son the walk-on got in for a play very late (one reception, no gain ...hmm.) But he was clear in his post-game comments after some wrote off Clemson's late win last year...

The TV crew at Saturday's game surprised me because the two of them were pretty much up on Johnson's adjustment routine and his scheme-changing as the game progressed. (But my alltime scheme memory is VT and Champion (?) actually a very good safety, talking about how he had solved the offense...

That is pretty clever.

And his son went to the Senate and proved it. (Though when I read some of the history of the Senate Watergate Committee, Talmadge was reputed by several to be the smartest man on the committee. His problem was they had to sober him up to find out.)

Eugene Talmadge, then governor of Georgia, once counseled his son, Herman, later governor, senator and drunk the whole time. "Hummin" was threatening to sue the AJC for writing bad things about him in the late '40s. "Hummin, don't you never sue no newspaper for libel. They might prove it." So...

A wire story today re agents, coaches & money. And as one might guess, football is involved. Louisville might not be alone. It is going to get very, very ugly. Blazer did not reply to a phone call Wednesday, and his attorney declined to comment. Two weeks ago, according to a witness cooperation...

I feel about UNC the way some of you feel about Georgia. It is just as unhealthy, too. But I want to get up on them early, pound them for 58 minutes, and then have the game called by the Mercy Rule. I want onsides kick on every kickoff, no punts for any reason from anywhere, then finish up by...

we need to pass more. Somebody had to say it.
