Even Alabama, a school that had tons of success putting in game managers has done a 180 on that strategy. We'll see if Georgia can do it, but I think it's real tough.

I said it a few weeks ago, I'll say it again: if they win a title with that QB, it might just be the greatest coaching job / team achievement by a title winner in the history of sports. There were at least a dozen HS teams in Georgia alone this year where he'd have almost certainly been the backup.
