You are right. Bostic did get blown up a few times on the outside especially early in the Orange Bowl. He also had a habit of running into either his blocker or the tackler when he got the pitch. I forgot about Summers. He will be a good player for us. Not sure about his blocking. We will see.

Excellent points. In the timeless tradition of Tech fans everywhere I will offer a rebuttal that is typically found anyplace Tech fans gather: Schedule: This year will be challenging. However, I think we got a break in having it weigh more heavily to the end. True, Notre Dame in the third...

Perhaps, to me he is more of a "hit man" along the lines of one of those torpedoes in "Good Fellas" or "The God Father"

If anybody can get Francis to play more physical it is Coach Pelton. But he may be a lost cause. Time will tell. No Green to fall back on. Francis, it is your time big man.

I much prefer our offense. However, I can see the attraction of the read option. It reminds me of the old single wing tailback who could fake to a halfback, run it himself or pass. The key was and is, the hesitation it produces on the part of the linebackers. I believe, without any expert...

Excellent post. I might add that the buzz surrounding this team is unlike anything associated with Georgia Tech football in the past. The foundation as you said has been laid. We need to have a good closing to a fine recruiting class, work our new Bbacks into the offense, (this may be a...

"Smooth" is our guy. I don't know what the experts say. Don't really care. They were the same ones making sarcastic comments about our "high school offense" that no one would want to play for, that would grind to a halt when faced with SEC speed etc. ad nauseum. Smooth is our quarterback and...

I am going to post something that will ruffle feathers, and be derided but it is based upon my experience years ago defending the damn thing. The option is not for schools to just mess around with and maybe run once or twice a year. The timing of the mesh, the pitch relationship between the...

With all the ups and downs this young man had in his career. He saved the best for last. Overshadowed by the brilliance of Smelter for much of the season, Darren became the go to guy and played a fantastic game. As fans we will miss both of them, never knowing the pain, suffering and...

My understanding is that Mr. Green is from a good family and did what he could at UGA but the fact is that he is built to be an A back not a traditional tail back. So let him come. I am sure he will be an excellent addition to our team. He has speed, elusiveness and toughness from playing...

Good job PJ you made south Georgia proud! The offer to play football was a "dream come true" for you but it has been a blessing for fans to watch you play. Thank goodness for one of Cairo's finest.

My major complaint is the preferential treatment the football factories, in general, and the SEC in particular get from the NCAA and the media. I will be honest and admit that I cannot cite specific instances of abuse but it should be clear to anyone without an ax to grind that a number of...

As usual, Boomer is spot on. I saw the A back adjustment and the change to running at the B gap but I could not understand why the defensive tackles were so helpless in the second half now I see. Thanks Boomer. It seems like we did something similar in the Georgia game but I may be wrong.

You know, its funny but I have had for quite some time now a strange flashback when I see JT run the triple option. In the clouded mists of time, I see Jamal (spelling?) Holloway running the Oklahoma wishbone with a hard running fullback named Steve Owens and a pair of fast as lightning...

To be sure, teams will take a flyer on most if not all of these guys BUT the cold fact is that none of them with the possible exception of Smelter is the "NFL prototype" for their position. I know it is ridiculous but that the way it is. Someone will throw the book out the window and take a...

Well, the language is probably indicative of the fan base but I understand their frustration. However, those more informed would tell them that it is not just a dive play. There are multiple blocking schemes involved so no you could not have stopped it by yourself unless you care to face "Mr...

Well, a lot of people are not going to like this but to me a veteran quarterback like Dak is just salivating at the thought of having teams commit to an all out blitz. He wants to gun it, gunslinger style and not be patient which is what is required when facing read and react zone type...

Given the low expectations, and perceived lack of depth and talent in certain positions (even by an ever skeptical fan base), this has to rank has the best team since 1990. At the beginning of the year Coach Johnson made a comment that suggested this team might surprise people. At the time...

It is going to be difficult to replace Shaq. He exemplifies the character, determination, and drive to succeed that should be the hallmark of an All American. No greater praise can be given than that from an All ACC lineman like Sean Bedford. Next man up! Yep, that's you Shamire.

It's kind of funny now but after Coach Johnson's first year he was asked about initial impressions of Tech's fan base. He said something to the effect that he had never seen a fan base concerned about uniforms as much as this one. If he only knew. Uniform threads on this and other sites are...
