overall talent level in that program has been trending downward under Johnson and we don't really have to compete much with them for players right now. They were a thorn in our side in Atlanta with other coaches too, I'd rather them be a thorn that doesn't recruit well and take our chances with that.

Yup. PJ is one of the worst recruiters in college football. He and his staff just plain don't care. Atlanta is a recruiting hotbed and they don't even recruit their own hometown thoroughly.
Hate playing that system every year, but the upside is, you don't have to worry about GT taking blue-chip guys away from you.

One of the pieces for a team to have a great year : Luck.
They were lucky that Watson went down.
They were lucky that Gurley couldn't play and that the Georgia coaching staff is stupid enough to pooch kick at the end of the game with only a 3 pt lead - Richt should be fired.
Otherwise, it would be Duke in the ACCCG.
I hope they continue to keep Johnson around. I believe Dabo will continue to have the best players on the field, and we will be favored in every match up with them.

Well for starters:
First ACC Championship was taken away, due to playing ineligible players.
Backed into the second because Miami was on self imposed probation and UNC was on probation. Had a waver to play in their bowl game that year @ 6-7.
This year benefited from playing us with out Watson or it would be Duke this year.

Again, the were fortunate this year in a few games, that will not be there year in and year out.
They lost to DUKE & UNC, took a last minute score against GA Southern and VT this year, we kill them with Watson.

So with that kind of thinking, you put asterisk next to Clemson had we beat FSU? We lost. They won. They are where they deserve to be. PJ is a good coach. He does more with less than anyone out there.

We should own them every yr. with our talent ,and we totally gave it away this year.
They are getting fewer defensive prospects but seem to overachieve every three years on defense.
As long as PJ has a fast,durable QB who can throw ,he will win 8 games every year.
If they had Smelter tonight, who knows?

with nebraska's history with option football and all. p.j. recruited nationally while at navy, so with neb.'s location (and the lack of home grown d-1 talent in that state), i think that is an obstacle that he could have overcame. just seems like he would have been a natural fit there,imo.

I saw somebody on a fb sports page call the GT D stout. I told them they misspelled Stoudt. We roll them with a better QB situation. I think it us hilarious that they already extended his stay. They were upset with being stuck with him before the fortune of this season.

I think you are underestimating the benefit of continuity...
Look at all the Seniors on our Defense and the success they had...
Same applies to Tech's offense...We keep our Offensive studs for 3 years...PJ keeps his 4 to 5 years...

It's neutral for us, is the correct answer.
Dec 7, 2014, 12:22 AM

It's good in that PJ can't recruit. They will always have a medium-low ceiling. They will never win a national championship with PJ as coach. The system is cool and all but there will always be a game where things go awry and they lose. I just don't ever see them ending a season with 0 or 1 loss unless the rest of the conference just goes into the dump.
It's bad for us in that they are a ##### to prepare for and we play them every year since they are our cross division rival.
So overall it is neutral. I feel we would have won if we just get B or better quarterback play in that game. Unfortunately we got D or F play from Stoudt and the defense wore down.
It is absolutely critical that Dabo and Caldwell establish more consistency on the offensive line than we've had previously. We have to be able to run the ball and keep our offense on the field longer if we want to perform better vs teams like GT.
