[QUOTE="gt13, post: 8872, member: 369"] At last, the mystery is solved. Per Ken Sugiura at the AJC: [I]“You don’t want to run the score up in the fourth quarter, but it’s hard to tell the kids who practice every day to lay down,” Johnson said. “It’s their chance to play. To run the clock was probably the right thing.” In the same vein, Johnson mentioned something he said after the game about telling quarterback Justin Thomas not to score. I thought he was semi-kidding when he said it after the game, but now I’m not so sure. Johnson said he told Thomas that if he got in the clear, “we’ll take a knee and give ’em the ball back.” As you may recall, Thomas got a crease and turned on the jets for a 44-yard touchdown. When he returned to the sideline, Johnson said, “I said, ‘Hey, I thought we talked about that.’ ‘Coach, I had to get one. I hadn’t played in a while.’ It was hard to get too mad at him.” [/I] I thought that was kind of amusing. The full article is here. I think it's a pretty good read.
