[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 182063, member: 274"] I tend to believe nothing has been proven either way in the plug-and-play discussion. [URL='https://georgiatech.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1809603']Quinlan: Injuries Bite the Jackets[/URL] Based on my personal definition of plug-and-play, playing 3 strings deeper at AB disqualifies the results we've seen from that group thus far (and by the way, everyone has their own definition of "plug-and-play" which seems to be the root of the debate) . I said this once before - Clinton Lynch was "just trying to get on the bus" a few weeks ago. He's now solidly in our rotation. And when I think about it with that perspective he's met my expectations. Even in a year like last year, Clemson and Duke made things difficult in much the same way that Notre Dame and Duke have this year. I do think it's been a little uglier this year, however: [LIST=1] [*]Both opponents this year came earlier in the year. We struggled early in the year last year against lesser opponents before hitting our stride. And then we still struggled with Duke and Clemson. [*]Several of the ABs who were given the most reps/experience through the summer and fall camp, and therefore most likely to improve as the season progresses, are no longer available. [/LIST] So far this year the OL has admitted overthinking and JT has been stressing/out of character. Add in the fact that we are comparing the offense against the most efficient offense in the history of the metric last year. For those reasons I don't know, even had we returned all 11 starters from last year, that we'd be as good as last year. It's still a wait-and-see thing for me. We really need to avoid further injuries for the sake of the team, but also to give the plug-and-play discussion/test a control period. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
