    CPJ was 5/12 vs Clemson, not 8/11.

    wait a minute. First it's "multiple nattys in the upcoming years" now it's "setting the bar very low" LOL - covering all the bases. Which is it?

    His sentiment is probably correct though repeated requests for a post by anyone thinking about "competing for multiple nattys in the coming years" have repeatedly produced zero response. Fair or not, PJ definitely divided the fanbase, esp. in the years since 2014. Hopefully Coach Collins' time...

    It doesn't cost that much $$ to make posts on social media. Coach Collins is doing a ton of it himself. The previous coach could've found someone to do it for him, given his apparent distaste for it ,which I understand myself - I don't tweet, IG, nor FB. But it's unfortunately part of the...

    Ken’s AJC article on Patrick Suddes ...

    Agreed and it's not a huge expense to simply maintain an active Twitter account and tweet positive, exciting things about the GT football program. You could probably get undergrads to do it for free or in exchange for a couple of decent seats. For a STEM school to not have been doing it...

    Any proof of that whatsoever? I doubt that Clemson, mutts, nor any of the P5 teams we play looked at us and thought that. Similarly, I doubt our guys ever looked their way and had thought that about the teams' players we played. I don't believe "next man up" for every position and...

    maybe 1-2 wins but not 5 in 2017 and not a victory against Clemson, Duke and the mutts. We were dominated those games. 1 more running back would not have translated to victory there.

    Years like 2015 can definitely be excused due to injury IMO. 2017 and even 2018 as another poster tried to? I disagree with that assertion. Ex: Look at a game like 207 vs UT. It was a terrible loss but certainly not a loss that could be blamed on injury, as our starters played well enough to...

    I didn't put any words in your mouth. You are the one who cited "2017/18". Frankly, your claims border on ludicrous. We were 5-6 in 2017. To think that a healthy B-back would've increased our win total by 100% is laughable. A healthy Mills would not have led to victories vs Clemson...

    No argument to any of that but pretending we're one of the only teams that deals with injury is also ridiculous. Most teams are shy on quality depth though. Only a few schools have 4-star guys on the bench.

    Everyone gets injuries every year. Hell, Clemson's starting QB literally left the team 1/3 of the way into their season in 2018 and it ended up OK for them. The teams we finished beneath in 2017/18 surely had some serious injuries as well.

    I hope he gets more usage too. He was completely ignored in PJ's offense and sure wasn't running any bubble screens.

    The Five Biggest Commits since NSD

    The "smaller guys" was in reference to the guys running the bubble screens, etc. The WRs weren't running those - they were running the only pass route we had for them: Deep Post Bomb pattern. Those bubbles were mostly to RBs out of the backfield...

    which isn't going to attract 6'4" WRs to sign. It's nice for the smaller guys we had but we still were never seen as a throwing offense under PJ. That's both the perception and the reality and why this kid would have never been recruited by PJ.

    If everyone is playing checkers, then clearly the game IS checkers. So trying to instead play another game, like chess, is asinine.

    which is ironic since a SPREAD option throws it far more often than we ever did.

    :rolleyes: give it a rest. Besides, the article is right.

    whether or not we were in the 'wrong play' is directly correlated to the quality of our opponent. Not surprisingly, we never had any first-play-TDs against teams that were worth a damn. Those plays occurred against the FCS trash on the schedule. Whooppity do.
