GA Tech has Questions About Throwing the Ball

[GlennW]

ATLANTA -- A major weapon was removed from the Georgia Tech playbook when DeAndre Smelter suffered what turned out to be a season-ending knee injury in the final regular-season game against Georgia.

In two years, the wide receiver had emerged as the team’s go-to guy when it needed a big catch. Head coach Paul Johnson had nothing but praise for Smelter, who he admired for his toughness and skill.

FYI: I think there is an edit title function on the right hand side, just above the OP (probably have to edit it within 10 minutes of posting)

Am I misremembering or did Messick have a highlight-worthy TD catch against Clemson? Kid looked good to me but I never hear his name mentioned in WR discussions.

Good catch, not a great route

Ken had more on this yesterday, but it was part of the MyAJC plan. Anybody read it?

My guess = Coach has had JT and Waller working overtime with each other so that each gets the idea that Waller is the goto guy. Hope so, anyway.

I tried but it looks like it only works on the body of the thread and not the header...

I believe it's the virtually same article but this one you don't have to pay for (I think there's an arrangement between the AJC and the Macon paper for reprints as they have Ken videos on all the time).

If I remember correctly, this was the game where CPJ was irritated about something and said "does ANYBODY want to play in this game? " and Messick was standing right next to him so he sent him in for what ended up being a TD reception

Messick has dreads so he gets +1 on all attributes.

Fair article.

It's gonna be Waller. Summers may catch a Smoke or two. Dennis will block. Jeune will get into the rotation and block.

Hill and Perkins from the AB spot.


I expect less than 12 passes here. I could be totally wrong but that's what I'm calling

weakness for State is DBs, if we can't throw I would expect a TOUGH night--the fact is ,we will have a hard time out-scoring" them in a shoot-out ,I'm afeared

I'm thinking our A-Backs and possibly B-Backs might even end up catching some critical passes New Year's Eve; heck, maybe even Justin might end up a receiver on a play for all I know if Synjin gets a handoff and heads outside, then rears back and passes back across the field to him if PJ starts to see a lot of over-pursuit.
