[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 37582, member: 198"] The difference between Tevin and Josh didn't have anything to do with something you could see looking at the stat sheet. [I applaud Tevin for being as successful as he was and for achieving well beyond what most envisioned he would. I think he'll be successful in life, regardless of what he does, because he puts 100% of everything he has into what he does.] To me, the difference was WHEN they got the yards. I think we all were spoiled by JN's uncanny ability to get it done in crunch time. Whenever we needed those 2 or 3 yards, or needed to sustain a drive, or needed to make the play (excepting the end of the 2009 UGA game), Josh got it done. I remember so many instances where, with Tevin, we'd move the ball like pro's between the 20's, but couldn't punch it in (our kicking was beyond atrocious) and come away empty; or we'd be steadily marching down the field in a crucial point of the game and, inexplicably, within 3 plays, we're off the field. There are ways to look at the data to see these types of trends, but that data is difficult to come by. I admit, this is more a feel thing, than a hard fact thing. But think about where we would have been if Josh doesn't punch the WF touchdown on 4th down at the end of the game or if Josh doesn't grab that fumble back from the LB in the FSU game. It just seemed that Josh had that IT factor that pushed us over the top. For all of his warts, Josh brought something to the table we haven't had since. I think JT can bring that back, but in a different way. [/QUOTE]
