Question #6: What will Ga Tech’s defense look like without Tenuta?

Question #7: Will Ga Tech’s offense under PJ look more like the wishbone of the 70’s or the current spread (ala Missouri, West Va, etc.)?

WHO CARES! College football will always be a JOKE of a sport until they come up with a way to determine a TRUE national champion! hmm…that playoff thing seems to work pretty good…

Until all you fools stop supporting the sport things will never change!

And dont say im just another p** UGA fan, yea i like UGA football, but im a bigger fan of GT basketball and football!!
Any tech fans here really think a 1 loss GT team would of gotten in over Ohio State or LSU last year??
keep dreaming!
I guess it will take your own team getting screwed over for some common sense to kick in huh? Boise State…the REAL undefeated champs of 06! Remember Florida did loose a game! (since the regular season supposidly means so much to all you BSC supporters)

I bet Nesbitt and Booker both pick it up well (and quickly) especially Nesbitt. This offense was meant for him and Dwyer. Hopefully the defense will fly under the radar and be great! Defense needs to be as good or better to really make PJ’s system work best.

FSU will still struggle. Duke will win at least 1 ACC game. Miami, after a year of Shannon at the helm, will be back to 9 wins. Tech will be in every game, but 7 wins will be the outcome. Clemson will win 8 games, well b/c Clemson always wins about 8 games. Davis and Spiller could be the best backfield in the nation though.

UGA from Snellville: im a fan of both UGA and GT, ive had friends and family go to both schools. Ive been a Tech fan for longer because i grew up watching Dennis Scott, Brian Oliver and Kenny Anderson take GT to the final 4. Not to mention i closely followed GT when they won the football national title. Im a big fan of GT hoops / and UGA football. And although i like GT football, i never really cared for UGA basketball. Make sense to ya? over your head yet?
When they play in football i root for whoever has a better chance at a national title. When they play in basketball im a HARDCORE GT hoops fan!!
Why can someone not like 2 teams? i can shure as hell give u a list of teams i HATE! USC (souther cal), Florida, FSU, Miami, VT, Ohio State,Michigan, and many others!

Im just a guy who thinks college football is a joke because they dont have a true champ year in and year out. I think some of the Tech football teams of Joe Hamilton could of competed for a National Title, just like i think UGA football had a right to a playoff spot when they had David Green, and Pollard the DT.
Especially when UGA had that black QB the year after Green left i thought that loss with the backup QB at florida should of been overlooked and UGA should of been given a title shot!
College football is a JOKE…and the joke is on us..the fans who are dumb enough to support it and watch all the meaningless bowl games.

I could see where Nesbitt wouldn’t just be the default starter, given his youth. But I fail to see how Calvin Booker is his main competition. No offense meant to Booker who seemed to play okay in the bowl game, albeit with some luck and help from DJ Donley on at least one play. But he’s not the athletic style QB that CPJ needs to run this offense. I don’t recall Booker running a single time for any gain. In fact, I just looked it up. He had one carry for 5 yards against Samford. In the other two games he got into, UGA & Fresno, he had negative yardage rushing. Nesbitt had positive (and often significant) yardage in all his games except against Clemson (he took his first snap, fumbled and then was basically done for the game). So I feel safe in saying that Booker is not a real contender for this job. Nesbitt’s top competition is likely one of the incoming freshmen who have triple option experience, like Jaybo Shaw or Tevin Washington, even if they don’t get here until the summer.

1-clemson is strong,and could dominate the acc,but they lost to the better teams on their schedule last year.tommy bowden has to do a better job of coaching,he has no excuses with this team.2-i think tech’s biggest problem will be a simple lack of enough warm bodies.tech will go into spring practice with only 58 scholarship players,the two deeps on o and d will require 44 players,that leaves only 14 reserves.some of the 14 will be punters,pks,ls,and other specialist.who will make up the scout team?can johnson install a new system without going full speed in practice?can he risk injury by going full speed in practice?he will have twenty freshmen coming in for fall,but coachs use spring drills to establish their starters.it will be intresting!3-what constitutes an immediate impact at duke?three wins?good luck tonight techies,play smart bball and you can upset duke.4-i have not been impressed with drew,barring injury i think ponder will start this fall.fsu had a great recruiting class.now jimbo can clean house,like shannon at miami.it will cost him some games early,but will pay off in the long run.5-i like what shannon has done at the u.he set some standards for behavior with his players and got rid of the bad apples that were spoiling the barrell.as he said,the days of”thug u”are over.now can he set some standards of PERFORMANCE?if he does,miami is back!

Wow, nice one WOLFPACK TODD. Trust me. NO ONE else has any questions about NC State. Unless the question is “can they hold their own against Duke”

Gotta think Clemson is the class of this conference. They signed 3 high quality O-linemen, most notable McClain out of Alabama. And you know you’re on a gravy train with biscuit wheels when Jamie Harper will be your 3rd RB (230 lbs. 4.4 4O yd dash).

Tech will struggle this year, but I think they’ll have something decent in 2/3 years if PJ can recruit to his liking.

For FSU, is E.J. Manuel gonna be given a shot to start? Never heard of this Ponder cat but E.J. has all the tools (Unfortunately, so did Xavier Lee)

And I think Miami will be very tough with all the defensive players they signed. I think a lot of them will see a LOT of PT and be very productive, especially those OLB’s and Marcus Forston in the middle.

In the end, it’s hard to see Clemson losing any games, with the most difficult game likely their home opener. An ACC SEC showdown. That game will set the tone for the ENTIRE ACC all season. If Clemson loses, the ACC will get no respect for the rest of the year. IMO

The same was being asked of the DAWGS last year about linemen. It worked out. I think it takes Johnson a couple years to get the players he needs. I think Cutcliffe is a good enough coach to make an immediate impact, but with the talent at Duke I don’t see them winning more than 2-3 games. As for FSU, they have the talent and I think Jimbo will get it done. I haven’t paid attention to Miami as of late.

And everyone makes excuses for him, Dickey ruined him, but he with X-Lee, he just stunk. LOL. Coach Cut is a great offensive mind, hopefully they can get some def to help. Ga Tech start Nesbitt, if you are running any kind of spread he would be awesome in it. To bad your previous coach played it so close to the vest. And The U fans, hate your team but respect them. You can’t depend on one recruiting class and say you’re back. Will struggle this year also. Clemson is loaded. Hopefully Tommy feels bad for beating up on dad and gives us this year. LOL.

Clemson for sure has the most talent in the conference. The question is: Can T.Bowden get them to play up to potential consistently ? It hasn’t happened yet. Maybe this is the year.
You’re right about the learning curve for the QB spot at Tech. These guys are going to be asked to read and react very quickly. There also needs to be at least two guys who can get it done, because an injury to #1 would disrupt everything if the #2 guy isn’t ready to go. Hopefully the timing will be fine tuned by September. I know Coach Johnson will have these guys going through a gazillion reps, so I have confidence the timing will be there. It will have to become second nature to them.

All teams Navy beats have superior defensive speed. The option negates team speed (to some extent) because of execution. Hard to get 11 defenders (especially some of the rocks that get recruited) to execute their assignment correctly on 90% of the plays - too much fun to chase the football. Even with team speed, proper angles to the ball carriers/potential ball carriers are crucial - if the defender is too far out of position a 4.0 forty time won’t do him any good.

The keys will be getting GA Tech to execute the offense correctly and good team defense. We (Navy) get beat because we can’t stop anyone.

BravesFan79:

These guys who are getting p** with what you’re saying are part of the problem. But I do agree, you don’t need to mud sling. I’m in Denver now and there’s no way in h3ll the Colorado Rockies would have ben picked by ANYONE to make it to the World Series last year. BUT the playoffs made it happen. Until we have a playoff system in Div-I football, we have nothing more than BOWL GAME WINNERS - No National Champion. I’m getting less interested ecery year. I wish fans would just stop going to and paying for games for ONE SEASON - then we’d have a playoff.

Hey BravesFan: The last D1 team to be a part of the National Championship was Tech in 1990 (UGA was 1980). That season we were undefeated and had to share a team with one loss and one tie plus five downs (two losses) plus questionable calls in another game, Colorado. Nebraska, a powerhouse of that era, was blown out by Tech and Osborne stated that Tech was better than Colorado. We deserved the AP title too and would have liked a shot at Colorado. We appreciate fair play and playoffs could offer that (although not absolute fairness by any stretch).

But to lament that UGA deserved a title shot without winning their conference is a bit of a stretch regardless of how strong they played down the stretch. I’m not attacking UGA or you their fan, but it just sounds like sour grapes.

GT76- How can you say this offense is “meant for Dwyer”. Jon is a prototypical NFL back who would benefit by getting the ball 7 yds deep and finding daylight. I predict he transfers after spring ball (along with 2 other skill offensive players).
