[QUOTE="IEEEWreck, post: 185018, member: 617"] Is it really your contention that Dook and ND starting winning, then decided 'nah, screw it, maybe GT ties the game or whatever, we're out'. Do you realize how foolish it sounds to label results than ended up less than 2 touchdowns apart 'garbage time'? Garbage time is when you're up 21 with 2 mins to play, or other results that are not in doubt. And if by some miracle 21 with 2 mins becomes 1 with 45 seconds (and the other team has the ball), well, then it wasn't garbage time. Dook was as much a garbage time 4th quarter touchdown last year as U(sic)gA was a garbage time victory. If the result of the game is in doubt, it's an active game. Not your opinion of GT is totally gonna lose guys, this sucks, but actually mathematically, physically impossible not to win. Good Lord, how is this not obvious? With Byerly in particular, we lost the ability to situationally play midline with the tenacity of a sledgehammer. Against Dook last year, Tim up the middle for 3-5 yards made Dook pay for their overreliance on Cash, because swift as he was, he couldn't get to the ball over the BBack and hit Tim to make a decision. Honestly, TB a little earlier in that game probably comes out as a win for us. I suspect that ND would have had a lot more trouble with their dancing formations if they had to deal with a midline threat as well where they couldn't depend on the raw physicality of their defense to limit it to 2 yards. But I don't know. I can also observe that Byerly was better in that game at hitting the short route passes to punish box stacking. His injury limited us a lot more than just removing a backup, because Tim was more than a backup QB. All respect in the world to JT, he's the guy you lead with. But there are situations where his weaknesses were backstopped by TB's strengths, and we lost a lot both in flexibility, and even the threat of putting Byerly in changes how the other team deals with us. And in my wildest fantasies, when there's 9 in the box against us we run a modified 60 go play where the center snaps the ball through the QB's legs to the BBack, who happens to be Tim Byerly. Then touchdown pass to Justin Thomas. [/QUOTE]
