We will be fine. I expect to contend for another ACC championship. The triple option is more about the scheme than the players, although obviously having great players makes you that much better. We need freshman and sophomores to step up .... just like every other school.

Losing our 4 best players and he still puts us at 8. I like the way he thinks.

I thought the freshman did well. Going from a HS game one year to the national championship game the next and having 2 TD passes ... respect.

I used to hate the SEC until I realized everyone hates the SEC because they are the best. Then I stopped hating them just to be different.

If Texas didn't like it maybe they could have sacked up and stopped them ... running the score up is the most overrated thing in the world. Who cares. In 1 week it will just be an L for Texas and a W for Alabama and nobody will care about the score.

I was definitely at that game.

Interestingly, Nesbitt was a 4 star shotgun quarterback in high school and came to GT while Chan Gailey was the coach. He said this year, "if I knew I would have been running the option I would probably have not come to GT." I just think GT has so much success running throughout the year that he hardly ever throws thus he is not as good at is as he could be. He does go off at times, such as in the Miss St. game he passed for 266 yards. I think he has it in him, maybe next year he will develop into a better passer.

Games are won by Joe's and Mo's not X's and O's. When GT has superior athletes on the field the option will roll. It did so 11 of 14 games this season. We have the skill players but no O-line and no defense (last night was the best the defense has looked in a long time). Against above average and even some very good teams you can hide your O-line and defense with great skill players but Iowa had a D-line that blew up our O-line and had an offense that was good enough .... which is not hard to be ... against our D. I look at the bright side ... maybe such a poor performance will cause draft stock to drop for our great juniors and thus they will come back. If so GT will be the best unranked team in the nation haha.

 

 

Nesbitt=average, at best. I know you guys like him, but he is not a good option qb. Receivers in the blocking game have it down it seems. Ballcarriers are solid. O-line is crap, and QB looks like a compromise. I think a guy like Nesbitt would be better suited to a Tyrod Taylor type role, but his arm is frightening. His pitches are even scary.

I'll accept a lot of comments about GT, but Nesbitt is really not average. He is the heart and soul leader of the team. Maybe he doesn't throw that well (actually, he DOESN'T throw well), but take him off the team and we have 2-3 more losses. He single handedly won the Florida State game and was the determining factor in the Wake Forest game. Finding an athlete like him may not be hard, but he is a fullback as a quarterback and a great leader. Tebow like in his leadership but without the SECSPN hype ... I believe he also received first team all-ACC honors. I don't think you have watched GT enough if you think Nesbitt is average.

Iowa barely beat a crappy nerd team...that's all we need to know.

How was Shreveport? And we all know nerd is a key word for 'smarter than me'.

I've always thought progressive uniforms were the coolest, such as Oregon. Some of their choices are horrible but some at really nice looking. Don't understand teams sticking with plain old uni's cuz of tradition .... tradition is just living in the past.

Only reason Bo leaves is for the NFL, and he doesn't seem like much of an NFL guy. But I guess Saban didn't either.

Where'd they go??????

I'm sure Cincy fans would say they would much rather be in NU's shoes... be careful what you wish for.

Of course you root for your own conference. All that can do is help Neb. If Texas wins it all this year and then NU wins the big 12 next year, who do you think will get a ton of respect? On the other hand, if Texas gets spanked, NU will get much less respect even if they win the conference. Even if you hate Texas it would be wise to root for them...

Likin' Calvin at WR. Well deserved. Best WR is the NFL today as well too bad he is on the Lions.

I wish Neb played GT.

3-3 ..... eh ill take it. As long as GT wins to make it 4-3.

wouldn't 13-1 have felt like a much better reason though? If 'destiny' is your thing then ok, but I think it plain sucked watching those losses.

I hate to admit it but I kinda like Kiffin... I always like those coaches who don't give a crap what people think and speak their mind. Anyway, yes, good job VT.

Your life sounds perfect... a baby and a Husker win. Congrats, must be an amazing feeling.

#1 that I can remember. I'm 20 though and therefore really only remember basically the past 10 years....maybe less.

Better to be Bo than Bob Stoops, "sponge bob bowl flop."

I guess we have something in common, Neb is my second favorite .... more like 1.b team ... now don't go on embarrassing the ACC even more than has already occurred when you guys play Tennessee tonight .

 

After the events of December 5, I don't think it can get much worse for the Almost Competitors.

The best team won. If you beat a team twice I'd say you are clearly the better team.

Now where is that Mizzou fan who took shots at GT for running the triple option? I bet he wouldn't want to see GT at all right now. I want to see a GT/Navy game even though Paul Johnson has actually said he will not let that happen if he can prevent it because he has so much love for Navy ....
