Also, the motion can be the start of a jet sweep. The QB has to read the DE and decide to hand off or not. An RPO pop pass is also possible. Lots for the QB to do in Buster's O, sorta like Paul's.

Now, now. Sure Saban is a ruthless SOB. But he never caught up to Bryant. Btw, if you really want to look at a scumbag from those days, try Frank Kush. In a league by himself, as they say.

He was one of the best one-platoon players in Tech history. His partner, Ted Davis, had my eternal respect for kicking a Bama player in the head while he was down in the game after the Chick Granning incident. Billy, other, had more class then that. Not much more, mind. I'm sorry to hear he has...

What I liked - and I liked it a lot - about this play is that Haynes had the patience to jitter for a moment while the opposing D players took themselves out of the play. Then he turned on the jets. The young man has learned a lot about being an RB.

Yessss. One of the posts below the article had it completely right: Norvell planned the game to run it down our throats and let DJU do enough in passing to not loss the game. Now, you're Mike Norvell. Would you have planned the game any differently? Was there any reason to believe that our run D...

I noticed that. Puke blitzed a lot under Santucci and it worked then too.

FIFY.

1990. Don't know if this bunch is quite up to them, but the case is being made.

First, that was the best opening win that Tech has had in my memory. Well coached, well played. and I couldn't be happier. I usually don't write until I see the game stats, but that is another post. Impressions: Paul used to say, "All I want is three stops." I said that before the game and the...

You guys eat breakfast? I quit doing that - oh, Lord, wait a minute - in about 1985. So what I;'ll be doing is brewing some coffee and watching there damn football game. Hope we win. One thing = both teams will still be jet lagged. That might lead to something interesting by the fourth quarter.

Coming over to your place, of course. But you do have to discriminate, especially in this crowd.

I'm late to this party, but my choice (again, I might add) is Mackel Harris. Harris was 6'1", 195 lbs and ran the 40 in an honest 4.4. He played OLB (rumor = he came to Tech because everybody else wanted to make him a DB). I used to revel at watching opposing OLs try to block him. Harris would...

I really liked to watch Nesbitt play once he truly mastered the spread option. That took a year and the difference was dramatic. Another thing I liked about Nesbitt was the he knew his limits and adopted his style of play (with Paul's help) to maximize his skills. I remember watching him play...

One caveat: I didn't blame Sims for the end of the 2022 season. It was obvious that the team was in complete disarray and that he was transferring out. Why risk an injury in such a situation, especially when the rest of the team had obviously given up? I mean, I would have played, but that's...

Mine was Billy Lothridge. At any rate he was the first I saw in person. He was deceptively fast (he never actually looked like he was going fast, then people kept missing him because they ended up behind), and a really good passer on the run. And, of course, he could both punt and place-kick...

Yes, he did. Generate turnovers, that is. And he was reluctant to get hit. Or seemed to be. And he didn't do better at Nebraska. What makes me say what I did is the UNC game in 2021. Sims obviously got the green light to run and delivered big time. I thought this would lead to a change in O...

I'm glad Sims came back and finished. In the long run that'll be very important for him and his family. And, yes, he was very badly used by TFG. I think this was largely a PR thing. Collins didn't want to have a program that included a running QB. I'm betting he thought that would underuse Sims...

I'm sorta waiting for Van and Lockett to get out there together. That should be interesting.

Oh, go ahead and pull the pulg. Jacket fans everywhere will rejoice.

If they don't we'll have a field day against them. I think the key to the game is whether Jamal can get going.
