I look forward to the GT vs. FSU game next season too.... and for those that underestimate the GOOSE:
ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr.:
"Third on my list for the Heisman Trophy, behind Heupel and Weinke and just ahead of Dorsey, would be Georgia Tech quarterback George <THE GOOSE!> Godsey. What jumps out to me with Godsey is not only the efficient manner in which he directed the Yellow Jackets' offense, but how he elevated the team in a season that was initially considered more of a transitional, rebuilding campaign.
Instead, with Godsey leading the way, Georgia Tech closed out the regular season with an impressive 9-2 record, ending the campaign with a seven-game winning streak that featured road victories over Clemson and Georgia.
Keep in mind, Tech's only setbacks were close calls to Florida State (26-21) and N.C. State (30-23 in overtime) that could have gone either way.
In 1999, the final year of the exceptional Joe Hamilton era, Georgia Tech finished the regular season at 8-3, then lost to Miami in the Gator Bowl to end up with an 8-4 campaign. Godsey has the Rambling Wreck poised for a potential 10-win season if they come out with a victory against either South Carolina or Tennessee in the Peach Bowl.
For the year, Godsey completed an impressive 63.6 percent of his passes, but even more noteworthy was his 74-percent mark during the critical fourth quarter. That's when George O'Leary and highly regarded offensive coordinator Ralph Friedgen needed Godsey to be on top of his game and he certainly didn't disappoint.
Overall, Godsey threw for nearly 3,000 yards (2,906 to be exact), tossing 23 TD passes with only six interceptions. He also spread the wealth, distributing passes to wide-outs Kelly Campbell, Kerry Watkins, Will Glover and freshman standout Nate Curry as well as tight end Russell Matvay and running back Joe Burns.
In Friedgen's sophisticated attack, seven skill-position players finished with 20 or more receptions on the season."
Who let the Goose Out?
