James Gardner putting on a receiving clinic tonight for Miami on ESPN2 if anyone is interested in tearing themself away from the World Series.

IIRC, from what I read, GT's offensive domination was something like a Top 10 *all time* performance in rushing ....... in the losing column. You actually have to start digging through decades back in the historical record to find other teams who rang up nearly 700 yards of offense ... and lost. Unfortunately they don't have a statistic for CFITT ... choke fumbles inside the ten. Hell even the damn 2PT conversion they were up 4 to 3 on the Vols right of the hash. Pitch it? Touchdown. Pitch man cracks down? Touchdown. Sprint for the pylon? Probably a touchdown. Tepid jitterbug in the backfield? Loss. Taquon has been doing that tepid jitterbug bull**** since that play btw. I think somebody layed a lick on him and he's scared or it's in his subconscious. He is playing like a player trying to avoid a hit ... not like a player trying to attack.

GT had at least a dozen *easy* plays on offense where simply executing cleanly would have won the TN game. And the Miami game. Hell they could have choked to death on offense and simply DEFENDED THE BUBBLE SCREEN and beat Miami. But no, Ted Roof stood there with his thumb up his *** and Miami ran seven --- SEVEN --- $!#&@&@%r^!#$y SEVEN BUBBLE SCREENS IN A ROW. And every damn one got at least 7 yards.

And that scarcely believable chokefest is the difference between entering the Clemson game 6-0 and ranked in the Top 10 ... and never sniffing the Top 25.
