Nesbitt performed so well as a first-year starter that Johnson has given him an ambitious target for the 2009 season: 2,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards. Only six quarterbacks have reached those totals in NCAA history. "I think that would be a good goal for him to have," Johnson said. "If he stays healthy, he certainly can accomplish that."
Complacency shouldn't be a problem. Nesbitt and Co. learned their lesson last season when they followed up their upset over Georgia with a 38-3 loss to LSU in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
"You have to go out and play every game like it's your last," Nesbitt said. "I think we were so satisfied with beating Georgia that we didn't worry about winning the bowl game. We just worried about beating Georgia and getting to a bowl game.
"This year it's a whole new mindset. There are bigger goals. Everybody's working harder. Since I've been here, this is the hardest I've seen the whole team ever work."
The guy who once tucked away any thoughts of running an option attack has found a home in Johnson's system. That much is apparent when Nesbitt describes the type of play that gives him the biggest thrill.
He could mention going on a breakaway run. Or he might talk about throwing a long completion. He instead goes with a third option.
"I would say it's faking the dive, making the pitch and having the back go for a long touchdown run," Nesbitt said.
