Hey folks,

Like so many of you I'm sky high about the potential of this offense with big studs like J.Dwyer, Anthony Allen, Roddy Jones, etc putting up big points on Saturdays.

One question though, do you think it's realistic that IF our offensive line plays significantly better this year that we could realistically see several 60 plus point games like Oklahoma did last season? Or am I just drinking WAY too much Kool Aid??
 
Just remember that we need possessions to score points, and the longer the other team's offense has the ball, the fewer possessions we get.

Could we do a couple 60 point games against some of the teams we play? Probably. Will we? Not likely

I only say this cause we score on the ground, so no matter what our players will be running all day. And I think by the time we hit 40 (assuming we are ahead a good bit when we do) we'll probably start pulling starters just so we don't overwork the running backs. In some ways I think it might be easier on the players to score 60 with passing than running against crappy defenses.
 
I sure hope not. I'd like to think Tech men are better than to have to run up the score like that. Stoops, and Meyer for that matter, are such jackasses.

But it is pleasant to think we're the kind of team that people say 'we gotta keep that offense off the field' like was said about Alabama trying to beat Florida :D
 
I don't think we'd hang 60 on anyone. We could have very easily hung more then that on Miami last season, and Johnson called the horses in. The only realistic way I see us putting that many points on the board is if the defense begins doing little more then giving gentle hugs to the opposing offense and we get into a Cold War level shoot out. Which I do not want to see happen.

Johnson isn't Chan. He knows that when he's got his foot on someone's neck, you need to finish them off. But I don't see him putting points up on the board simply because he can, which is what certain coaches in the SEC seem to do. That said, if he would like to hang 60 points on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, I could endorse that.
 
only against Jacksonville State. I could easily see Josh putting 40 in the first half and then Jaybo 20 more in the second half.
 
My vote would go to UGAG (CPJ would certainly do this if he could... he'd be enshrined if we beat them scoring 60 this fall), UNC... for all their boorishness last fall... possibly UVA if we can... and LSU (if he ever plays them again) if he can.

Butch is the most likely recipient of a CPJ beatdown of biblical proportion this year.

I disagree.......Coach is more likely to rein in the horses against a Jax State than against, dare I say, UNC.

We have tough games every week, I don't think we will risk our best players for adding to a large lead. The reason I think JAx State will be 60+ is because they will have trouble stopping even the second/third string offense unless they are taking knee every down. Maybe also if we did B-back dive every play..
 
i think we will hang 50+ in a game a couple times....i do remember being in Chattanooga for the D-1AA championship my freshman yr at GSU when CPJ and AP hung 55(?) on the Tressel coached Youngstown State team. That was an undeafeted team with at least equal or possibly better talent on the opposite sidelines coached by one of the best. He did it there...he will do it here.
 
GSU routinely put 50-75 up on folks in the PJ era. He had such great depth that there was only a small drop off from 1st string to 2nd string. The crowd rarely stayed beyond halftime when PJ was there.

Its unrealistic to expect the same results in D1-A football though. Competition is just too good. I think we'll have 2-3 games though where the defenses just have no clue and we drop 60 on em. This will happen every year IMO.

While true...you can not discredit Youngstown State during that era. App State and Furman also had comparable talent.

While I dont expect the same astronomical offensive numbers he put up while @ GSU, I do think its safe to say (considered he put up 42? on UM and 45 on UGAy in his first year @ the Flats) we will hit 50 once or twice this year.

As for the CPJ coached GSU teams, I cannot speak for regular attendees, but the student section cleared out bc most were blackout drunk...i was haha...and after parties that got underway at 230p.m.

I don't think PJ worries about scoring too much, he's just not going to leave the starters in when it's ridiculous. Last year our backups couldn't keep the pressure on but that may change this season. If the 2s keep on scoring I don't think he will do anything except give the 3s a shot. Play calling probably won't change much IMO.

I agree that Meyer has pulled some jackass stunts (like what he did to Miami), but I don't know what PJ can do if he puts in his 3rd string and they still score. He won't run it up for the sake of it but he's not going to tell his players to play half-ass either.

This statement here really worries me. Without the increased concession sales, we may have to rely even more on the charitable contributions of BeeBad to pay the AA's bills.

As long as Nesbitt (or whoever the 1st string QB turns out to be) isn't in the game in the 4th when we're up by more than 3 touchdowns, like Tebow always was, I think that's trying to not run up the score.

Lets be honest, through a lot of that era GSU, App State, and a few others probably could have held their own in the ACC
