I am calling shenanigans on the preseason reports of a slimmer J-Train. That boy is carrying around as much love now as he ever has. Amazingly enough, it does not seem to impact his endurance. Exhibit A: J-Train slammed his way through the line on three consecutive plays in the 3rd overtime for a first down, a TD, and a two-point conversion (check out AgClips for a video). On the first down play he took two defenders head on the back field before getting the first. When asked about the play J-Train said "I just continue to do what I do." What a man, a big fluffy man.

There were not many bright spots other than J-Train.

79 yards on 24 throws really leaves sometime to be desired. McGee's longest completion, a 13 yarder to Bennett, came in our first offensive series. The only other double-digit pass play was a dinker that Goodson turned into a 12 yard TD. That is what happens when you only have 1.5 seconds to get rid of the ball.

What does McGee think of the criticism?

"I'm so tired of hearing 'run game' and all this bull crap. When it comes down to it we're a team. You do whatever it takes to win and today we did that. That's what it comes down to, is getting the ball in the end zone. All that other bull crap…whenever we lined up, we did whatever it took to win the game and we did that. And offensively we ran the ball every freaking time and they did not stop it. That's what we were about, getting the ball in the end zone."


Chris Alexander's injury, which is the answer to your "what the hell is a walk-on doing in the game right now?" question, does not seem to be serious.

I watched the 1st series and then headed to work...got a 19-0 halftime update...and felt good...checked back in to see the final and it was in the 2nd overtime...wow...what a change from last week...the defense swapped halves and made it a game...I read the post game reviews and the bulldogs put up a good fight sounds like...so it sounds like McGee is having troubles...that's not good...hope he finds what he needs in a hurry...schedule gets tough in a hurry....

The passing troubles are pretty pervasive. McGee never has time, when he does have time his receivers can't get open, when they do get open they drop the ball.

Ya, we have 1 game to fix all of these issues.
