DJU on the best day, he will ever have won't be able to duplicate Trevor Lawrence.

I read but for not could be understanding. Try please for again.

DJ ain't Trevor

DJ ain't Trevor

Hopefully he has a terrible game against us.

By SP+, Clemson is favored over us by more than we were over KSU:

Clemson only has a 92% winning probability. You mean we have a chance?

 

[GTjunkie]

Looks like Sims still has a brace of some kind on his left elbow but is practicing

I'll take this several times on Saturday

 

[WreckinGT]

Practicing is one thing but to put him on the field against the best defense if not 100% is a bad move by the coaches.

Agree 100%. Coming back from injury and a rocky first game to start against maybe the best defense in the country doesn't seem like the best decision for his health or confidence. If anything, bring him in for a few series late if we are getting blown out.

 

[Heisman's Ghost]

Unfortunately, I think so too—but I’ll watch every minute of the game.

South Georgia strong. Gnat Line Jackets are used to the disappointment and abuse that comes with the territory and it does not faze us a bit.

Could be worse. Tennessee Tech has zero chance against Tennessee. About the same as Furman has against NC State. IIWII

Yep, an 8% chance of winning is a wide enough window you could drive a ramblin’ wreck through it.

That's a lot better chance than we had in Death Valley in 2004, behind with 17 seconds left on the clock:

Escaping Death: The Birth of a Legend

In September of 2004, one of the most electric atmospheres in college football got shocked by one of the best wide receivers in the history of the game.

Take out the comma and it makes sense.

 

[GTNavyNuke]

We have a chance to be better than uGag if we score more than 3 on offense.

Clempy D held uGag to 3 and SCState to 3.

We did score one of those three point things in 8 qtrs so far this year. So there is hope we'll go for a TD.

Minutes after his Alabama team had lost to Georgia Tech 7-6 last Saturday, in just about the biggest football upset of the year, Alabama Head Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant appeared in the winning team's dressing room, smiling and completely unbearlike, despite the hurt of having been beaten for the first time in 27 games. But after an exchange of compliments with Georgia Tech Coach Bobby Dodd, Bryant's affability was suddenly dampened by Dodd's offhand comment, "I believe that was the cleanest game I've ever seen. What do you think. Coach?" Bryant, looking down at his shoes, muttered, "Huh? Oh, yeah. It certainly was. But I didn't expect anything different."

Most of the 53,000 spectators who jammed into the 52,000-seat stadium did. Last year an Alabama player, Darwin Holt, had smashed Georgia Tech's Chick Graning in the face with his left elbow and forearm, in an unnecessary block when an Alabama teammate signaled for a fair catch on a punt. After the catch, though possibly before the referee's whistle had sounded. Holt hit Graning, rising off his feet as he drove his arm up under the taller Tech player's face guard. Graning was helped off the field with injuries diagnosed later as 1) fracture of the alveolar process (facial bones), 2) five missing upper front teeth, 3) fracture of the nasal bone, 4) fracture of the right maxillary sinus and the sinus filled with blood, 5) fracture of the right zygomatic process (bone beneath the right eye), 6) cerebral concussion and 7) possible fracture of the base of the skull.

The injury to Graning, an extremely popular boy who has been described as "basically too gentle to be a truly great football player," infuriated Georgia Tech fans, faculty and alumni, who argued that it was the result of a deliberate and brutal foul. More significantly, it was called characteristic of Alabama football—and just about the last straw.

The annual game between Tech and Alabama had become extremely rough and difficult, and it was common knowledge that Coach Bobby Dodd had been wanting for some time to drop Alabama from the Georgia Tech schedule. The Holt-Graning incident brought things to a head, and in January it was announced that the two schools were severing football relations when the current contract runs out after the 1964 game.

 

[BuzzBy]

Yeah, we need to have the mindset that we're going to Clemson to win, and not just keep it close.
The latter mindset is going to result in a blowout more often than the first.

To hell with Clemson. We may not win, but you have to go into it with the mindset that you can compete and hopefully this coaching staff puts us in a position to win. We're going to shake ourselves out of this funk we've been in and it starts to turn around this year.

That one still hurts. The Graning injury. My MIL graduated from UGA, but despised the Bear her entire life for that one instance.

Completely agree, however he has to be ready to step in should the starter get injured.

I had the pleasure of being there as a freshman watching that awesome game!
