[QUOTE="Old South Stands, post: 258946, member: 1036"] I think what was meant was that JT played lights out as if his job were in jeopardy, not that his job was actually in jeopardy! Many in the press have said that JT was the best QB ever to play for Paul Johnson, at least during Johnson's tenure at Tech. After the past one-and-half seasons, I wasn't so sure. He's fast, is an underrated but extremely productive passer with the right receivers, and does excellent reads on the option. But he can be streaky and has ball control issues at critical points in the game. The bad exchange that led to the fumble after the interception of Duke nearly resulted in a complete reversal in momentum. If that fumble doesn't happen, then Tech conceivably goes up 35-7. If we'd lost, that would have been the game's turning point. But JT played with incredible grit and pulled out that win almost completely on his back. His numbers are borderline historic for Tech football. Prior to today's game, given his relative consistency, toughness, and general athletic ability, I would have been inclined to take another look at Josh Nesbitt as the best QB under Johnson, even if he didn't quite have Justin Thomas's numbers. If JT plays the rest of the schedule the way he played today and his receivers make the plays, and if Tech can pull off the victories, then he will probably be mentioned in the same breath along with Kim King and Joe Hamilton....
