Jim from Auburn asked about B backs for next year.

Two commits plus CJ Legget. Feels good about all three, and we could put Snoddy there if needed.

Synjyn will start on Saturday.

Caleb asked about winning the Clemson game giving us confidence going to UGA.

Coach is only thinking about Clemson. Heck of a battle, huge challenge. Glad to have them in Atlanta.

@GTpdm asked if coach is satisfied with our offensive yardage now.

Can always get more.

Christopher asks how to replace Shawn Green.

Chance he could play. Lots of options if not. Move Gamble, or use Kallon, etc.

Talked about players of the game and those recognized by ACC this week. No one notices the long snapper unless he screws up.

Charlie asks how to prepare for Watson.

Talented young man, but prep for the system not one guy.

I asked if coach has been able to open up the playbook more than he anticipated.

"Base is base." Adds different wrinkles. Lots of different looks. Mentioned the challenge of Clemson's defense, very experienced with lots of seniors.

Social media segment. Too many questions to ask all.

QB counter? Called because defense was chasing the motion.

Caller asks about Clemson defensive lineman.

Speed concerns him, but we won't go away from him or dodge him.

Player or position group responsible for improved defensive play?

Getting turnovers was key, playing better as a group.

Would Coach have left starters in like NCState?

Won't get into coaching other teams.

Joking exchange about best concert he has seen.

Mentioned going to Kenny Chesney concert with Coach Smith and had a good time. Teasing Brandon for liking Taylor Swift and not knowing who George Jones is.

Did Coach play basketball?

Yes, he has played. Coached it at high school right out of college.

Time outs?

Yes, he will take them in first half as needed if things don't look right.

Brandon talked about Byerly. Coach likes his toughness and he has a strong arm. "Nice job."

Heck of a touchdown catch by Messick, but "funky route". Good job by Corey Dennis and he ran the right route.

Unofficial stat from Brandon, guys get about 19 yards if they run a kick out of the end zone. Does Golden have discretion? "Not really."

Can he watch games without analyzing? Yes, he can disconnect. He usually has an opinion about who he wants to win.

Talked about how he doesn't use notes or anything. Said he used to write things down but never looked at it during game, so he stopped.

Recruiting question about getting big guys. Gotta keep looking for them. Hard to get size, speed and academics. Must have something they want.

Guy is nervous about Saturday because he is excited and thinks we can win. Thanked coach because he is responsible for getting us in this position.

Coach says the guys should get the credit. Fun group to coach, want to learn, don't complain, hasn't always been pretty but they keep grinding and don't quit.

Keys to the game segment. Play clean offensively, take care of the ball. Looking forward to playing good competition. Third downs are huge. He admits our third down percentage is very good. ;)

Don't forget toy drive. Bring new unwrapped toy to game this weekend or cash donation.

How can that be true?!?!? I've read on too many sites that say CPJ blames the kids and takes credit for anything good!
