    This sounds like a very good team. The defensive line is rated by Athlon as the best in the ACC. Reggie Ball is a proven QB who is throwing to a consensus AA WR. As fans we need to take this game very seriously. I'm certain the coaches and players are.

    I think the key is two fold, 1 that their DB's are suspect advantage Irish and 2 Reggie Ball is no Drew Stanton, where Drew is very accurate Reggie is not. However Reggie is athletic and those types of QB's have given us problems.. Stanton and Troy Smith.

    heh,heh,heh!! I think I know the answer to that one!! :)

    Although we Irish are hopefull that the reason that those athletic QB's gave us so much trouble will be solved this year. Our LB's were not fast last year and this year they are faster so I just sayin' ...we're hopin'! :)

    The Yellow Jackets are the team that kept Miami out of the ACC Championship game with an upset in the Orange Bowl.

    They can be tough.

    In fairness, you really can't overlook anyone these days in College football. GT has a nasty habit of taking advantage of teams that do.</r>

    A hilarious and comprehensive introduction to Atlanta. Another gem from EDSBS. If you are planning to go, you should print this out.
