Was interested when I had coaching staff say Jermaine Johnson as FSU's best player, since he was a backup at UGA.
But 1) after seeing UGA's defensive line last night and 2) seeing Johnson do it against a not-FSU OL so far tonight, I'm buying.

Chaser.
Jermaine Johnson was the best player on the field tonight.
I don’t mean for FSU. I don’t mean just on defense.
He was the best football player in Doak Campbell Stadium.

Leave the bottle on the bar.
Jermaine Johnson could not crack the starting lineup at Georgia and is immediately the most impactful player on the Florida State defense. shows how absurd the talent is at UGA

I hated to see him transfer but he definitely made the right call. He got plenty of well-deserved attention last night and if he keeps it up, will be a well-paid young man next spring. He certainly wouldn’t stand out like that with us.

I heard Bud say this as far back as this past Spring re Johnson. Hopefully the NFL will see what our scheme is and draft our guys higher even if they lack the stats that Johnson will likely put up in the ACC.

Johnson was the real gem of the portal, though many others got more press. He’ll enjoy paydays on the next level.

Speaking of transfers, just saw Brenton Cox with a clean shot at the FAU QB just before halftime on SEC Network. He was moving in slow motion as compared to Channing Tindall. Cox saw the writing on the wall.
The only chance FU has Oct 30th is if the Dawgs all engage in Motocross nighttime Demolition Derby the week before the game.
Fuck those motherfuckers.

Ain’t no doubt RR💪🏼
As far as the kids transferring out of UGA, it’s a business decision and both Cox and Johnson made the correct one. Word out of Athens was that JJ’s father advised him that more reps get you paid in the NFL. I personally think that his advice was code for “son, you ain’t quite as good as Adam Anderson or Nolan Smith, best pack them bags and haul ass”!
Fuck Clemson and Florida!

He was a monster the first half but was out of has the second. I think he got put on his butt a couple of times in a row on runs near the goal line. No sour grapes but it speaks to Kirby’s philosophy of rotating guys so they can finish strong. I do think Jermaine would have been heavy in the mix here, and hope his conditioning improves.

There is something to bring one of many that rotate in. Fresh legs in the front 6/7 is devastating. Charlotte on Saturday night was Exhibit A.
There’s something to be said for getting as many game reps as possible. It’s also about making the game reps matter. #FilmDoesn’tLie

UGA was a bit tired midway through the 3rd, when the 3 and outs were happening…the fsu transport may have had the talent to go to UGA football, was he willing to work or buy into the CKS process, to go that extra yard…

Johnson left the SEC. That was helpful. If he had went down to UF, I would have been pissed. Wish him the best; but I did notice the drop off in the 2nd half. I’m sure some of that was half time adjustments; but you could also see that he wasn’t moving at the same speed and intensity as the first half.

“shows how absurd the talent is at UGA”
This, in turn, shows that the “if not now, when?” talk is not irrational or demonstrative of an unreasonable fan base. Putting Kirby on the hot seat “if not now” crosses the line.

“I’ll be honest with you guys, I’m as concerned as I’ve ever been because we have three or four guys out,” said Smart, whose team plays UAB Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in Sanford Stadium. “We have a couple of staff members that have been out with COVID here recently. For us, we’re at our highest spike.”
The positive cases are infections for people that are fully vaccinated, Smart said.
“We’re talking about breakthroughs,” Smart said. “That concerns you, not only for players on the team that are unvaccinated that are playing and not playing because we want everybody to be safe, but it concerns for players that are vaccinated that we could lose them. This is the highest we’ve been since fall camp right now.”
