This is the offense I want to see forever at GT. When Paul Johnson dies, I hope we have an apt replacement lined up.
 
That was a great game. Forget which Thomas TD, but when he's dead to rights in the backfield and just decides to go left and outruns everyone to the end zone... Breaks 5 DLinenens ankles... The crowd goes "Awwwww!!!" One of my favorite moments from 14...

I thought time stopped on that play and Thomas was just moving normally while everyone else stood still. Replays of that play don't do it justice.
 
This is why I was hoping for the Patriots to win. For Shaq to go from the Orange Bowl to the Super Bowl in a little over a year would have been a great story along with the other amazing things that have happened for him in the past couple of years. An unlikely journey for a kid from Columbia, TN.
 
What a glorious game and a proud night to be a Jacket. That team, at that point of the season was a finely tuned machine that could have beaten anybody on a given night.

Go back and watch any of the 2015 season, less Alcorn State, Tulane and FSU. That'll put a damper on things.

I did... multiple times. Lots of evening cutting bad footage. Must have blocked it out. I only really remember 45 seconds of the '15 campaign. All the rest doesn't exist or something...

I like to exist in a state between the Tulane game and the Notre Dame game. Fresh off a solid 2014 campaign, just beat the hell out of two lowly opponents and going up against a ND team that just lost its starting QB. To top it all off, CPJ hates BVG! Yessir, we are gonna destroy them.
 
This offense would set the nation on it's heels if we 1) had a reliable offensive line and 2) we had a QB that could hit the broad side of a barn. Some how or another these essentials have escaped our great swami CPJ.

#1 will create #2.
 
Now all we have to do is create #1.

But sometimes #1 does lead to #2, occasionally.

I remember this feeling.

Wonder how long I'll have to wait to have it again?:squint:

The only question was whether we'd get to 55 or 60. It all depended on how soon JT was pulled in the 3rd Quarter.
