Highlights from Clemson/Georgia Tech

Here's what I said before the season:

CLEMSON VS. GIMMICK TECH YELLOW BEES
I can't begin to express how much I do not like Paul Johnson's system. I've never loathed the Gamecocks as much as I loathe Gimmick Tech's offense.

I hate His Royal Highness Paul Johnson's arrogant attitude towards his system.

I hate Kirk Herbstreit's inexplicable infatuation with Gimmick Tech's offense. With a straight face, the man actually said their offense is exciting. Go watch some high school games if you like to see less-talented linemen dive at other players' knees on every play instead of blocking straight up and actually out-playing the other guy.

I hate the general perception that Paul Johnson is some sort of brilliant play caller just because he doesn't hold a clipboard during games. I mean, you don't need a clipboard to point to your team and say, "You: dive at that guy's knees. You: run left."

I've always wondered whether or not it's a penalty to accidentally step on a guy's fingers with your cleats while he's down there trying to hurt your knee. Hey, if you don't want your fingers stepped on, then get up and man up.

Thomas (who will be a flop in the NFL, by the way, because he doesn't have any experience dealing with traditional defenses) won games for Gimmick Tech simply due to his size (you can't double team Gimmick Tech's receivers).

Nesbitt throwing ducks around Death Valley won't get it done.

Clemson wins.
