[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 928624, member: 265"] Well, you can make another set of circumstances if you wish. Perhaps the entire team would have transferred in disgust, though that's looking ahead three years, of course. But if Cooper had not been able to play and Braun transferred, the starting OL would have been: Quinney , DeFoor (he'ed already transferred in, remember?), Minihan at center (the position he was recruited for), Hansen, and (probably) Smith or Lay (remember Ray Beno?) or Defoor, if Clark ended up at guard. I'd go to war with that group in a spread option. There would have been some mix and match - the Morgans or Mckeehan might have broken in - but overall plenty good enough for a spread option line after a break-in game or two. As to Oliver: watch the VT game again or his stretches in other games. He knew how to run the O, but Paul, wisely, kept the ball in his hands. After Mason, he would have been the most talented runner on the team. But I think Graham would have started. He was the more talented player at QB, largely because he could throw better and run efficiently. Hindsight in this case is failing you, btw. He didn't leave Tech because of Paul; he left Tech because of TFG. Well, enough. I don't think your case is particularly strong, but both outlooks are speculative. Paul said at the timed that he thought the team had the talent to win 7 games and he was talking about in transition. I think he was a bit optimistic - though Monken would have - but we'll never know. [/QUOTE]
