If JG turns all the way toward the other side of the field and adjusts his read...sack and no points. Given pressure was already in his face, he probably should have just thrown it away. Inexplicable throw. Sucks but that's what happens with busted blocks. They only bring 4 and #64 gets blown by.

As a QB if you feel pressure leave the pocket,scramble extend the play do something.its part of your job and that’s where the issue starts.just don’t force the damn thing which is what he did.if I’m not mistaken that’s Calloway in the corner which is a clear favorite target of his.i highly doubt it was his “first” check.JG just knew which side of the field he was going to be on.which would justify a double coverage on Calloway and nobody else.👀🤷🏽‍♂️

Yep. There was no chance for a second read. This has been a good lesson for posters. We don’t always see what we think we do and we darn sure don’t know how the reads are supposed to progress.

Visibility today is much different than visibility 50 years ago. If you are a good player, you will get noticed and get drafted. With the way social media and information is shared, a good player at any level will get recognized. Playing in front of 100K crowds is not really putting any "money" in the student-athletes pocket. It is a mindset of being able to compete against the best that draws most athletes to larger schools. Black Americans were not allowed to attend southern colleges until the 50's - 60's. But now some of those same southern schools clamor for the Black American athlete. So she raises a valid question as to would those athletes be better off at HBCU's. Better off is subjective. The main point of going to college is to grow and mature and be a productive member of society when you leave.

Vast majority of these kids want the spotlight and ESPN Gameday atmosphere. THEIR point of college. Chartered flights vs buses. Hilton hotels vs Days Inn. And let’s not be naive...BOOSTERS from Clemson vs Grambling have a enormously different pocket depth. And I was born in Chattanooga in 1969...so preshate the history lesson but I lived it.

You wanted him to risk a scramble that ran out the clock?

Good grief you are just digging yourself more of a hole.

Just watched JJ's media availability.

JJ: "... last week, all in the past." [subtle grin]
Media: "You like the leadership on this team?"
JJ: [face changes stone cold] "I *AM* the leader. So, we're going to get this right. I'm not worried about anything else ..."

Me: [chills]

Bring me more like this. Ownership. Drive. Determination. Confidence. Attitude.

Success.

This attitude is why this guy wears out DBs, catches hail mary's, and wins games. Bring this team with you JJ.

If he has been placed on scholarship, the UT admin has not publisized it. Remember they placed the TE (Craig) on scholarship last year and it was not publisized. The media eventually found out about Craig's scholarship.

This is the start of Doyle's 3rd year on campus so I believe he can be placed on scholarship without counting against any of the yearly 25 counters. SO.. I'm guessing he may already have been placed on scholarship this Fall and the media has not found out yet.

I remember when Craig was placed on scholarship...VQ mentioned it. They were likely mired in one upping each other in OC search gold.

Losses do crazy things to folks. It's possible everybody was in this together, until they lost.

A lot like this board. We were all rowing together, then boom! The big loss comes and half of the board is left broken and unrecognizable. It's a great, great opportunity to work on our resiliency and to get 1% better. We need to use all the mental reps of losing as we can, so the next time we have a snap and clear mentality. This past week we learned about the value of being ready vs the value of being prepared. Now we must lead. The thing about leaders is that leaders eat last. Standards and expectations. Bricks. Throw game. Battlestar Galactica.

Was just hanging out in an FBO on the west coast getting ready to leave and man there must have been 10-15 BYU folks getting ready to head to Knox. Spoke to them for a little bit and I got the sense BYU fans are coming in droves this weekend.

They probably think they smell blood in the water. I almost hate they are going to have wasted the trip for an "L."

I hope they have a real fine time, enjoy the atmosphere and are treated well though before they have to pedal back home.

Just pick another play if you want to sound like you know what your are talking about. That picture you posted shows a defender in clear range to jump a throw to JJ with nothing but 6 pts ahead of the defender.

You’re wrong. Go watch the play in full speed. It’s a spacing route. That Lb is preoccupied by DWA. JJ quickly turns around into his space and is wide open when considering the tight windows you get in the red zone. It’s a 5 yard pass. If throw in any sort of timing it’s an easy 6.
