I think your anger was cast in the wrong direction. Patrick Nix was calling plays because some people insisted that Gailey hire an OC and let him call plays. Gailey's play calling was good enough to get his team to and win the Super Bowl, but he wasn't appreciated enough by a few at Ga. Tech. who actually believed their skills were better than his.
Was not angry, just frustrated at the waste of talent.
Yes. So why didn't the staff get Gibson up for that? He isn't quick, but you don't have to be Usain Bolt to run QB sweep. He looks tough enough to make that work. Then he's just a double option away from making the O move.
He looked hurt to me as well, but how is this game unlike any of the others that Sims played poorly in that makes you think injury ws the cause? He still makes bad pre-snap calls, still misses reads, still throws way behind his receivers, still waits to long to release his passes making him prone to INTs, he's ijury prone, and he still has bad footwork. He's got a great arm, is a huge runnning threat and he could be our best option, but injury didn't hamper him that much today when he was in from what I could tell.
We did try to run him. He held on to a zone read and gave uva the ball on the 6. And that was the end of that. He had couple of scrambles for positive yardage but he isn’t that type of QB, I don’t think, at least tonight. I think he got his welcome to D1 football moment and it was too much for him.
Sims was hurt and played better than Gibson. Both didn’t play well but it’s a reason Jeff plays every snap.
Was just thinking the same thing.
