The Birth of a Star

[Adadu]

I think today could go down as one of the best days we’ve had in a long time as Tech fans. Last week I said “I think we’re about to watch the birth of a star” regarding gibbs only to watch Sims go off as a true freshman. This week I believe it happens again. Getting Gibbs and Sims on the field today is going to be special. Play action/RPO game is going to be disgustingly good especially with what looks like a good o line. Don’t take this for granted. Now let’s **** these Disney boys up!

Y’all are way too unrealistic and greedy about Gibbs. There’s no way he’s running for 400 yards and 8 touchdowns like he would in high school. I’ll be happy with 160 yards and 3 TDs.

Add a kick off return TD.

And how many receiving yards is he getting? Coach P is planning to use him in the pass game as well

Just 1 78 yard TD. Last play before we sit our starters.

Is it official he's playing?

He's on the ATL chart. Tre and Clayton aren't. He was warming up at FSU before deciding on being a no-go. There is nothing official, but if he were definitely out I'd expect him to be left off the ATL chart.

NO. But, but everyone is hoping. I see him as a juke and jive runner with great quickness and speed. I saw Mason as a bruiser who always gets something after contact. I hope we still have the bruiser back to complement Gibbs, or I hope I am wrong about Gibbs, and he also can use toughness to get extra yards. (assuming the rumors about Mason are true)

I feel like Oprah this morning in this post. Throwing out “likes” like “cars”

Mason is waaaaaaaaaaaaay more than just a bruiser. He has great balance, vision, timing, instincts, he can cut on a dime and accelerate out of cuts. Oh, and he is a bruiser, too. If he is out, he will be sorely missed, imo. Now the next man up may be just as good or better, we don't know that yet. Let's hope. But man I cringe when I hear Mason undersold. (No, I am not his dad, brother or former high school coach.)

I agree, DCS, but I think he brings the "bruiser" part as part of his overall skill set, and I am not yet 100% any of the other backs do. I believe he also has excellent vision and balance, as you say.

His instagram story from today tells me yes. He’s posting stuff like he’s going to debut today.
