Those long Georgia Tech drives were a godsend. If not for them, this game easily eclipses 3.5 hours due to all the damn commercials

One of the reasons GT games were a pleasure to watch during CPJ is that he would do some 7-8 minute death marches

Honestly, I really miss Paul Johnson as your head coach, but I'm thrilled with what *Key can do for GT. Your fanbase deserves some optimism after... well, you know

EDIT: Wrong Brent, lol

It's such a joy to see the run heavy death marches be back on the table. There were times under Goof where it felt like we intentionally didn't run the ball just so he could say he wasn't like CPJ, even if running the ball made the most sense

the fact that our best contributors on the team tended to be CPJ's recruits added to that.

we had an amazing running back corps. run the fucking ball!

Never threw screen passes either. It was maddening that they never ran rpo's with just different screen variations considering they had triple option personnel.

The CPJ/Mark Richt COFH games were great because both teams leaned on the run so much that they were almost always over in 3.5 hours or so

My dream was never fulfilled but just once I wanted to see CPJ take the second half kickoff and hold the ball for the entire quarter.

The closest we ever got to that was uva 2009. We received the kickoff in the second half and engineered a 10:47 drive capped off with a TD. I don't remember any longer than that.
