Yeah, Beej has a short memory. it is the worse kind of message board opining: "it has never been worse than this" when it actually has and doesn't have the same "reasons" as currently. BTW, I think it is perfectly reasonable that this could be the worse GT offense in a long time: so it was interesting to me that some "good" GT teams also had awful performances.
Look at 2016 Clemson, 2012 BYU, 2011 Miami, 2009 Iowa (a very talented GT team), 2004 UGA. And then here is what got me: Gailey's best team in 2006 with a generational talent at WR:
Clemson: 3.3 Yard per play, 7 points
UNC 3.3 Y/P, 7 points
UGA 3.3 Y/Play, 12 points
and don't forget that Wake game.
