Very happy with the win, but what might the final score have been sans the deep ball drops by Alston, Hines and Ramos? Gotta clean that up. Especially the rook in the end zone. Hopefully, that’s the end of that.

Duke wasn’t the only one that got hosed. Those holding an Under ticket (51.5) also took it deep. Final 30-27
Speaking of the kicking game, at what point should Jackson Maples get a shot on FGs? I realize that he is non-scholarship, but that shouldn’t matter. He has the leg. He kicked a 41 yd FG in the spring game and a 60 yd FG in high school. Apparently, Bambard is very accurate in practice, but it’s not carrying over to games. It’s not just that he is three of nine, but that the misses are usually very bad misses – not even close. I understand that he needs to gain confidence, but maybe giving Maples a shot might help Bambard with his nerves and help the team also if he fares better.
I had to chortle when ABC super-imposed the “field goal (green) range line” on our last drive at the thirty yard line. Green line should be on the five yard line. We should hold student body kicking tryouts like Florida did this past week..

I’m with you Wulfpack, 99% of the way..Newton might be a stretch, but time will tell…Ryan is 30 and has a 189…can’t argue any of the others…but I hope the best for Russell…
With his two touchdown passes yesterday Philip now has 264 career TD passes. That puts him at number 13 for career TD passes, just five behind #12 Eli Manning. Barring injury, Philip should be in the top 10 by season’s end. Currently, Vinny Testaverde is #10 with 275 TD passes. Besides Peyton Manning #1 (537), Tom Brady #4 (406) and Drew Brees #5 (403) who are all active and HOF locks, and Brett Favre #2 (508) Testaverde is the only QB in the top ten not to be elected to the Hall of Fame. Favre is eligible for the Hall in 2016 and is a certain first ballot shoo-in.
Not counting his first two years where he held a clipboard, and saw action in only two games, and not counting the current season, Philip has averaged 28 TD passes per season. He’s currently 33 years old, and assuming he plays 6 more complete seasons and maintains that average, he would finish with roughly 432 TD passes. That would be 12 more than Dan Marino #3 (420). Yes I know, Philip hasn’t won a Super Bowl, but neither did Marino, Tarkenton or Moon and they are all in the top ten and in the HOF. Philip still has time to get a Super Bowl, but regardless of whether or not he does, he appears to be a HOF lock. He gets my vote.
My best friend is a UGA alum and for many, many years has not spoken Spurrier’s name. He simply refers to him as the “anti-Christ.” This is a happy, happy day for him, and other Dog fans.
I think that Jaylen has the potential to be like a Ladainian T. or Darren Sproles, or Reggie Bush..give him the ball in open space and he smells end zone. As CD said..he is a football player…
Just a thought….I don’t know what Jacoby’s NFL draft status is at this point. It certainly hasn’t improved over the last two weeks. I suppose that everyone has their own “eye test”, not that that means much. Is there anyone out there that really believed that Tyrod Taylor would not only be starting for an NFL team this year, but that he would be 13th in the league in passing yards (988), tied for fifth in the NFL with 8 TD passes, and only four plucks, and tenth in the league with a QBR of 104.4, this year? Who saw that coming? So Jacoby? Who knows. But what I will bet you is that, major injuries aside, 1 or 2 years from now, Jaylen Samuels will go much higher in the NFL draft than Jacoby. I believe he has what it takes, and will be very good. He passes my eye test, but then, that doesn’t mean much..so I’m told…
Yes, no plan B. Which is one reason the week off comes at a good time. Time to make some changes/wrinkles, because both the Ville and Va. Tech seemed to crack the code of our offense fairly easily, holding us to a combined 26 points over eight quarters. Personally, I was hoping that we were holding some cards, offensively speaking, through the first 4 games, saving them for conference play, but I haven’t seen much over the last two games to give that thought merit. I don’t know. Maybe I’m missing something, but I’m not seeing much difference in the offense over the last two games versus the first four.
Seems to me that after State ran up a 145-29 yards gained advantage in just the first quarter, Virginia Tech DC Bud Foster figured out Matt Canada’s offense, and then held it to 125yds for the remaining three quarters. Foster is an excellent DC. He is the only four time finalist in the history of the Broyles Award, winning it in 2006.

I guess Charlie must have read this thread and found motivation. He just got his biggest win yet knocking off #10 Oklahoma (-16.5) in the Red River Rivalry. That should cool his seat a bit.
