Modern Era: Top Ten Georgia Tech QB Record VS UGA

[GTFLETCH]

Based on four factors — preseason poll, number of voters, number of teams ranked, and final poll coming after bowl games — 1968 could be considered the start of the 'modern' era

1. Justin Thomas (2014 - 2016) 2-1 vs UGA , 2-0 Bowl Record, 2014 Orange Bowl MVP,
2. John Dewberry (1983-1985) 2-1 vs UGA, 1-0 Bowl Record
3. Jack Williams (1969) 1-0 vs UGA
4. Shawn Jones (1989-1992) 2-2 vs UGA, 1990 National Title & ACC Champions, 1991 Florida Citrus Bowl MVP, 2-0 Bowl Record
5. Joe Hamilton (1996-1999) 2-2 Against UGA, 2-1 Bowl Record, 2Gator Bowl MVP (1999, 2000) Carquest Bowl MVP (1997)
6. Eddie McAshan (1970-1972) 1-1 vs UGA, 1-1 Bowl Record
7. George Godsey (2000-2001)1-1 vs UGA, 1-1 Bowl Record, 2001 Seattle Bowl MVP
8. Joshua Nesbitt (2008-2010) 1-1 Against UGA, 2009 ACC Champions, 0-2 Bowl Record (Peach & Orange)
9. Danny Myers (1974-1975) 1-1 vs UGA

So you are saying that all beat UGA at least once and since King is clearly one of the top 10 QBs then ….

Not at all just ranking the Top Ten QBs in the modern era record vs UGA. Justin Thomas clearly a stud... I am hopeful by the time Haynes King leaves he can join Justin Thomas, John Dewberry, or Jack Williams with a winning record vs UGA!

 

[GTFLETCH]

Haynes King is special 110%

I could just look at GT QB All -Time Passing stats:

1. Joe Hamilton - 8882 passing yds
2. Shawn Jones - 8441 passing yds
3. Reggie Ball - 8128 passing yds
4. George Godsey - 6137 passing yds
5. Mike Kelley - 5249 passing yds
6. Justin Thomas - 4748 passing yds
7. Jeff Sims - 4464 passing yds
8. John Dewberry - 4193 passing yds
9. Eddie McAshan - 4080 passing yds
10. Tevin Washington - 3312 passing yds

#17 Haynes King - 2330 Passing yds ( 3 games to go)

The only issue I have with this list is that Reggie Ball, Mike Kelley, and Jeff Sims are on it... so passing stats just do not tell the entire story. That is why I posted the First List!

Sorry but Justin Thomas is not better than Shawn Jones or Joe Hamilton. Are you aware that Joe Hamilton won the Davey O’Brien award and was the runner up in the 1999 Heisman?

Dammit. Ron Dayne is one of the worst Heisman winners in history.

Never said Justin Thomas was better then Shawn Jones or Joe Hamilton.... But Justin Thomas has a 2-1 Record vs UGA.... That is what this is about...

 

[coit]

Never said Justin Thomas was better then Shawn Jones or Joe Hamilton.... But Justin Thomas has a 2-1 Record vs UGA.... That is what this is about...

So then Jack Williams should be #1, since he never lost. Or did you just make up your criteria as you went along?

JT and Joe have the same # of wins versus the dwags.

But Joe and Shawn started 4 games vs the dwags whereas JT only started 3. Its literally retarded to rank them by winning percentage when they didn't play the same number of games.

FELTCH will fudge the rubric a bit if he can bump up CPJ’s QB. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Just understand what’s happening and let him cook.

 

[DeepSnap]

Jack Williams is actually 2-0 vs UGag.... he was the starting QB over Eddie McAshan in the 1970 17-7 GT win between the damned weeds.... and Jack played the whole game.

Wysong's TD catch vs UGag in 1970 shown below was from #12.

Williams also was the QB the whole game vs Texas Tech in the 1970 17-9 Sun Bowl win.

McAshan only played vs UGag in the 1971 game - 1972 was the Ticket Fiasco that led to Jim Stevens playing vs UGag & Iowa State in the Liberty Bowl. Bowl-wise, he played in the 1971 Ole Miss Peach Bowl Disaster.

Just to pick at nits on a slow Tuesday night.....

If we want to change the date of the start of the modern era to 1961, Billy Lothridge was 3-0 vs UGA

Were they in Red while we were in Gold that game? I would love a colorway game with them at some point.

Yeah he’s pretty transparent in that regard.

@GTFLETCH This is called "homework." Try it sometime.

WTH do you have against MIke Kelley?

 

[DeepSnap]

@GTFLETCH This is called "homework." Try it sometime.

Actually it's called "Playing in those games or on Staff as a Student Assistant" and still able to remember the anomaly of one QB playing a whole game under Carson

Were they in Red while we were in Gold that game? I would love a colorway game with them at some point.

That was the agreed to norm for that game in that era. The 1971 Thanksgiving Night Robbery by the SECheats Game was the only one I remember UGag playing in white jerseys against us.

Do you have all-purpose yards, and maybe ypg?

 

[00Burdell]

Do you have all-purpose yards, and maybe ypg?

Career total offense: 10,640 yards. Pretty close to 250 y/g.
