CPJ Quote re: helmet to helmet penalty

[GTatUSC]

"That last drive was one for the books," Johnson said. "We push the quarterback out of bounds and we get a helmet-to-helmet call. Wow. Wow. 17-17 game. Wow. They didn't even take the guy to the ground. They pushed the kid out of bounds. I bet you they hit helmets on every play in football. I doubt they tackle anybody that the helmets don't hit. ... You could call holding every play, too, if you wanted to."

Could not agree more, and perfectly, plainly stated.

We have one hell of a coach ladies and gentlemen.

Another good quote from that article:

"That kind of hurt ... I felt the guy was late," said [Tyrod] Taylor.

I guess he didn't even know what the call was....

Just funny to see the difference in reaction between Johnson with the helmet to helmet call and Gailey's.

I hate Tyrod Taylor.

Welcome to Georgia Tech, PJ.

Feel free to try and fix the officiating bias against us. Previous coaches have been unsuccessful.

For what its worth, a good number of VT fans seem to think it was a crappy call too, http://www.techsideline.com/message_board/football/2008/September/14/2971990.php

Not that it means we would have won the, but definitely took it out of the hands of the players and thats not right.

maybe the QB should be wearing a flag

It looked to me that he was draped in a large orange one.
