GREAT Josh Nesbitt article from the HIVE!

Holy crap, I love the sig! I was just trying to look them up... I will edit this post as soon as I find JR and Greg Hill's Stats. The 1999 team broke just about every school record other than a few passing records that Tracy Ham had.

1st Edit:
1998 Greg Hill
Rush: 1359
Pass: 1643

Ham's passing (11 game seasons, from the GSU media guide):

1985 1405
1986 1772

I don't know his season rushing totals but he had 3212 yards in four seasons so he probably had 900+ per year in the two seasons under Johnson.

Let's go with 900. That would make his per-game averages in PJ's two seasons:

144.4 YPG passing
81.8 YPG rushing

In a 14 game season, those numbers would give Josh Nesbitt:

1145 yards rushing
2022 yards passing

Those numbers would make Josh a MAJOR star.

you are talking about ~180yds passing a game and that seems pretty high for my taste, IMO

IMO the strength of our offense is the ability to grind it out. If you are having success on the ground why would you throw the ball?

I think PJ has said he would like ~15 passes a game. Even if he was talking about completion then that is a healthy 10+ yds per catch.

If JN can do ~130yds passing and keep a similar ground attack we will win the ACC and play in BCS which would be FANTASTIC!

I think if you look back at game film from PJ's earlier years, they don't pass often but when they do it's going for the jugular. So, a handful of 10-20 yard passes to keep defenses honest and then later in the game, when you've lulled them to sleep with the run, you hit 'em up a couple of times for 60+ yard passing plays. If we get really good at that, I could see us averaging ~180 yards a game... Though I'd be happy with anything above 125 yards / game.
 
I was thinking of QBs who might have approached that level (other than Joe Hamilton) and looked up Chase Clements numbers from Rice.

He gained 942 yards rushing and passed for 4119 yards. But he also gave up 249 yards, mostly in sacks. In the NFL those would count against the passing yards.....for RICE.

And since we are discussing QB performance it is an excuse to post a picture of Tim Tebow's girlfriend. (According to one site it is not his girlfriend but is Lucy Pinder, as is the other photo actually with Tim. I am crushed.)

Unfortunately, I think the numbers are very unlikely, because I doubt he'll be able to play the whole season at 100%. Option quarterbacks get beat up and Josh does not seem to be more durable than the average athlete. Maybe he pushes himself too hard or tries to do things that put extra strain on his body, but he has a history of being injury-prone. I would count on seeing a back-up as starter a few times this year. The best way to avoid the injuries would be to pitch and pass more, but I can't see him getting to 1000 yards rushing with that formula. I'm a big Nesbitt fan, but I'm also a realist.

I suspect that Josh will be a little less injury prone this season because:

1) We will have a better passing game, keeping the safeties back a little more
2) He will read the option better and hit the seam more often on his keepers
3) Our oline will block much, much better than last year

Uhhhhhh.

Throw out the worst season of the last 6, and the "norms" for PJ's offense are 8.8 yards per attempt and 18.0 yards per catch. And he only returned the starting QB once. They have had 9.5+ yards per attemt twice, in 2003 and 2004.

If we had the normal yard per catch, with a 56% completion rate, that would be 10 yards per attempt.

If Josh stays healthy he could have a shot with 14-15 attempts a game. As a team we'd need about a 74/26 run/pass ratio, 160 passing and 290 rushing per game.
