I am a diehard Dawgs fan as many know.....however, Paul Johnson is one HELL of a coach. I got to see his GA. Southern teams when I was a Furman, and his Navy teams as well.

He does the most with the least amount of any coach in the country.

I hate to admit it.

I agree with you to a certain extent, but you may be reacting to a really lousy Clemson team getting schooled.

If they go to Miami (FL) next week and dominate like this, I will concur 100% with you.

Personally, I think the Canes will give GA Tech a run for their money. Just my 2 cents.

Agreed.....however, Johnson has only had 1 year to get his players into the system. I really hate to imagine what he could do in 3-4 years getting the players HE wants.

This is all under Chan's players for the most part. We have seen where Chan has gone....fired before the season as KC's OC.

Not really knowing much about either teams, it looks like Ga Tech likes to play smash mouth and has some guys that can run the ball, which usually means Ws in college ball.:dancefool

No doubt that GA Tech is now the team to be reckoned with (play on words, haha) in the ACC!

This head coach is spectacular, and I give him all the props. Well deserved.

Should be a GREAT game in Miami next weekend. Looking forward to seeing the line.

I'd venture they will favor GA Tech by -3 to -5.

why are they for real?

because they scored on a fake fg/punt return against pathetic tackling?

because they scored on a fake fg with clemson sleeping?

You apparently didn't watch a single game they played last year without a SINGLE Paul Johnson player, and less than 3 months to prepare for a season when they went 8-5.

I hate GT as a UGA fan, but I know when you have a coach that is capable of teaching an obscure offense that teams aren't ready for and are able to win games.

Look, they may not be for real at the end of the season, but to go from a pro style offense to a triple option and do this is impressive.

im not arguing any of those points. i just think its hard to say they are for real after scoring the way they did. when neuheisel beat tennessee last year was ucla for real? they went 4-8

I am just saying I really like the way this guy coaches. I liked him at Ga Southern and Navy, and actually HATE that he went to GT.

He's never had the chance to get his system implemented into a big time D-1 school with legit speed, and he has taken total advantage of it. Granted it's GT where they can't sell out a 55k seat stadium in ATL, but it's a program on the rise. I really think they are going to be a great bet this year.

We will see next week against Miami.

Miami will beat GT. Haven't capped it yet but those are my initial thoughts.

I think GT misses those 3 big uglies they had on the D-LIne. Those guys were strong and impossible to run on. These new guys are getting gashed by the Clemson run game. The good O-Lines in the ACC are going to give GT some problems. Clemson has just shot themselves in the foot tonight. I think they have the better team.

Big revenge game at home for the "U."

Wonder what the spread would be?

Seeing how close the Clemson game is, I'd have to revise my opinion and say near a PICK or Miami slightly favored.

furman u going to game sat


Negative....I live in Charleston, so it's tough to get back for home games. I go to Jax every year for personal pain and misery. I am an S&M fan, although The Landing is fun on Friday nights.

My parents live about 45 minutes from Athens, but it's really tough to get back for the games from here.

I just follow the team more than 99.5% of people.

One big play for 82 yds...okay, we will give them one big breakaway in the triple option... should it have happened on the 2nd play from scrimmage... no.

One fake fg/punt from Clemson returned for a TD...Stupid...

One fake FG-passing TD for GT..again bad play on Clemson, great play for GT....but, crap.

When the game really started, CLemson has spotted them 21 points....

from that point, CLemson dominated the game offensively and defensively....

had it not been for a BS holding call where CLemson had a big pass play on 3rd down, Clemson wins outright....so, all the bashers, all the haters, all the idiots that spun the beanie....don't cash the ticket til the ticket cashes.....

Good Luck to all... Hope we all kill it this weekend...
