[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 129517, member: 2175"] We will agree to disagree. Interceptions and fumbles do not happen in a vacuum, and whatever the experience level of Thomas, I will concede a point vs. FSU, but Duke? Fumbles and interceptions do not happen in a vacuum, the defense generally having something to do with that, nor do false starts in the red zone just happen, the first clue we were in for a long day, and I am trying to recall since I lost my VCR recording of the game. Nor was Thomas lifted because he was having a great day, and it took two late TDs from Byerly to make it close. While I concede I overreached on my verb selection for the 2nd half lead, though they got a stop to make it nine points as the breakpoint for GT. That is a two score lead. And yes, if we could have recovered the onside, or failing that, if we could have stopped them without a first down, and if we could have put together another long but quick drive, failing that, if we got another long field goal at the end, well, you have a point. There's just an awfully high "if" mountain to climb. We didn't. None of this is to say I necessarily disagree with the other post, just urging some caution before crowning a national champion. I like the offense. I even agree that Johnson wasn't blowing too much smoke when he told one of the TV broadcasters that if the quarterback made the right read every time, the offense is unstoppable. But you see, there is that "if" again. Asking 100%, zero defects, from any QB means he could turn water to wine, particularly when that first read in the triple is made in less than a second. That is almost stock car driver reaction at 180 mph. So what would you reasonably figure? 60%? 75%? (Keeping in mind the D guys and DCs are not wearing dunce caps, and those Bback dives being met headon in the hole is not bad running.) Way too windy a response and I apologize. We're on the same team if not the same page. [/QUOTE]
