Mullen: On this assessment, he's the leader of the pack. I'm not sure why everybody here seems to be so turned off, given his proven record of success. "He's hard to get along with!" "He won't fit with the alums!" "He'll alienate the press!" "He isn't a great recruiter!" I mean, seriously now...

I don't think Armstrong is any less talented this year. He's going to play on Sunday. His new OC, on the other hand …

Well … ok, I don't like profit considerations infecting the college game. Thankfully, despite absolutely insane coaches salaries and equally silly (albeit regretably necessary) corporate sponsorships, college football is still at its core not a business and the players are in it in large part...

I don't like the new rules about not hurting the poor little QBs. For one thing they incentivize QBs to go all Italisn soccer when they get hit, like Leonard yesterday. For another, the penalty only works one way - when the QB is "defenseless" - a discretionary decision if there ever was one. A...

Me too. As the rest of you know, I've been pleading, begging, literally on my knees for Long to run Sims more. I'm not going to do the analysis, but I'm willing to bet good money that there is a strong positive relationship between the number for run yards Sims has and the time he has to pass...

Ok, we won, but we still aren't a very good football team. Oth, we look like a football and act like a football team again. The rest of our difficulties can be addressed. We may not be able to solve our problems, but I now know we have leadership that will try to instead of continually making...

The thread is about Knight, not Paul. I said Knight would have done fine in the offense - the P5 offense - he was recruited for. I said that after a post that said he wasn't suited for QB or LB (correct there, perhaps) in a "P5 offense". I was defending Knight against what I thought was...

I didn't say we wouldn't. Only that I wasn't sure would. I expect a close contest. We have slightly better athletes; they have better morale after going 4 - 0. That's why I'm not sure.

You know I get such a kick out of posts like this. They give me a chance to post some, you know, evidence. Like, say: https://www.fromtherumbleseat.com/georgia-tech-recruiting/2018/6/18/17475726/georgia-tech-football-recruiting-quarterback-demetrius-knight-commitment-locust-grove-dual-threat...

Well, yes, he is. And that was wasted because the ace head coach just couldn't find a way to use him. Surprise, surprise. I'd have … ah, well. Something different.

I'm sick about this. Knight was sure to be a strong candidate for QB in the spread option. Given his weight and speed today, he'd be a load in that offense, either as a QB or BB. He's a good LB, mind, but he could have been so much better in the position he was recruited for. I always wondered...

My advice for Tech: Especially Sims, of course. You have to click through, but it's worth it. I'm not sure we can win this game. It'll probably be close. So we need to heed the advice above. The longer the Puke O is off the field, the better our chances.

Now, now. If there's one thing socialist countries are good at its sports events. As in: True, the content of the spectacles can be a little tendentious …

I'm torn on this. I was always a big fan of Key when he played and if we win 6 he should get serious consideration. 5 won't do it for me, although I know that probably dooms his chances. The main thing: he's never built a program and Tech has no track record for how he would do it. Virtually...

Soooooo …. we'll just ignore the evidence and take the judgment of GEOFF <common English word beginning with f denoting human sexual activity>ING COLLINS on football talent and offensive schemes as the standard to gage Graham's abilities. Ok, whatever. But the NCSU game reminds me of this...

Well … except for this, of course: Surely you remember. Our best offensive performance of 2019 and the one time that entire year we looked like a real football team. Why? That would be because it was the first time all year that Graham was healthy. We would have won 4 - 5 games if he could...

Did too. Graham could have run it with great success. But a) he was hurt most 2019 and b) C****** had a thing about run first O's; aren't "pro" enough. I consider the way he was handled as the greatest mistake of the transition. And it was pretty easy to see who was to blame for it. I tried to...

Oh. Even after finding that all the Tech players that made the league are CPJ recruits except Cochran, Davis, and McGowan? I have to tell you that I've seen little to show that the players we have today are better. I never bought what Collins said about the team he inherited. It was talented...

Well … it shouldn't be. This is American football, not rugby. But I guess I can learn to live with it.

It all comes down to how much Long lets him run. If he gets the green light and we have the plays called correctly, he showed in the Pitt game that he can be a game changer with his feet. Then we put in some RPO plays and let him go all Hartman on Ds. Ok, ok, he'll probably never be as good as...
