I bet their backup is better than Vlad the self impaler.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Posted: 6:19 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2013)

Georgia Tech backup quarterback Justin Thomas will “more than likely” play in Saturday’s game against Miami, coach Paul Johnson said after Wednesday’s practice.

Earlier in the week, Johnson noted that Thomas had had a strong practice on Monday and would earn playing time if he continued it. Johnson said Wednesday that the quarterbacks “have been OK” since then.

Johnson also said that wide receiver DeAndre Smelter will also “more than likely” return punts and kickoffs, though Jemea Thomas is also a possibility. Coaches have also looked at Lynn Griffin and Dennis Andrews in the search for a replacement for Jamal Golden, who is scheduled to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery Thursday.

How come its always us that teams break out new quarterbacks that noone has even heard of to try to throw a wrench in our gameplan?
 
Really won't matter who they run out there as QB in terms of their offensive identity; I don't see that changing any time soon. We just need to be disciplined and consistently tackle well.
 
Sounds like Paul Johnson is getting his ready made excuses together so he can try his best to not be fired two hours after this game is over. Having your starting QB out for this game is smart for him on two fronts. First, he won't lose his starting QB for the year in a game that was decided before the whistle ever sounded. Second, he might be able to save his job.

Justin Thomas is probably a more dynamic athlete. He was committed to Bama earlier in the recruiting process (they prob wanted him at DB but told him they'd bring him in as a QB) and had some big time offers.

I doubt they change from their flexbone formation. But I will say this Vad has a terrible arm, so it wouldn't surprise me if this kid can throw better (that doesn't say much). The question is whether or not he knows that offense, probably why Vad gets the start.

They probably should have broke him in against ELON a little more, at least let him throw the ball.

I would have to assume that the only reason he wasn't starting to begin with is because he doesn't know the offense as well as Vad. Vad did not look to good out there when the competition got better.

in this case PJ is scrambling to do anything he can to not get completely destroyed.

check out this nugget:

Perfect College Football Angle

Any conference home favorite of 5.5 or less, that comes off an away favorite ATS win that they covered by 9.0 or more, versus an opponent coming off a home favorite straight up loss is 10-0 SU&ATS since the start of the 1984 season. The home favorite won those 10-games by an average of 18.4 points per game.

Don't know the Thomas kid, but Vad Lee beat him out as the starting QB during their Fall camp. To me, this sounds like they are looking for a spark to their offense, but as far as our preparation is concerned their offensive philosophy will be the same.

I keep waiting for Johnson to come out with a diamond or jade package for when they need to throw the ball. It's mind boggling that he hasn't done that yet.

Too reasonable. Moving to strike.
