How Long?

There is just no comparison that can be made between Paul Johnson and TFG/CDP. None. Whatsoever.

That ought to be seared into the minds of everyone who wears white and gold.

2018 was the last high scoring offense averaging almost 34 per game, but it had games of 63 (Bowling Green) and 66 (Looieville). 2017 was the last year we started off hot. Averaged 34.7 thru 6 games including Tennessee, Pitt, UNC, Wake and Miami. Should have scored more against Jax St but sputtered in 1st quarter, ran off 5 straight TDs then went to the scrubs in the 4th.

Damn 2017 still bugs me. Taquon pitches and we beat UT, then we found every way to lose to the french again in Charlottesville. 7-4 year turned into 5-6 on a couple miscues.

The Miami game was lost in an improbable ricocheted pass catch on a 4th down desperation heave by the Canes
Knock that ball down and game over - we win

With the receiver laying on his back. Most GT-like loss ever. Is right up there with Joe Burns running out of bounds against MD when he just as easily could have not.

We dropped a first down pass on the series before that would have won the game.

Have we had more miracle wins or losses in the last 20 years? It’s probably pretty close

This would be an interesting exercise because my biased memory would guess it’s 4:1 GT got shafted by the Football Gods if not more.

I can think of plenty where the gods seemed to be on our side. FSU 08; UGA 14; UGA 16; GSU 14; Duke 21; Miami 19; UNC 22; a few that come to mind where something really seemed to bounce our way late against all odds.

UNC 22 we just dominated them

Remember, Tennessee was awful that year.

They were coming off a 9-4 year that included a win over Georgia (on a miracle play) and a win over Nebraska in their bowl game. They had gotten thumped pretty bad by Bama that year and lost to Vandy. But their other two losses were close.
They got off to a good start in 17, including a close loss to the Gators. Then Georgia stomped a mud hole in them and they were toast after that.

14 was a miracle FG; then get an INT on 1st down on the 6 when they are going in for the winning score

UNC Downs dropped a wide open TD that would have iced it.

14, we had the phantom fumble by JT that was a 14 point swing against us.

22 UNC, you're right I was thinking about the 2021 game. But there was also plenty of time after the Downs drop that we could have scored after. We actually got far down the field while running out the clock.
