Terrence Moore, one of the AJC's always controversial sports columnists, had a little bit today about the failure of Georgia Tech's coaching staff to fully utilize Calvin Johnson. He had several quotes from Lou Holtz, former coach of Notre Dame and South Carolina, about making sure a star player with Johnson's capabilities gets at least 15 touches a game, whereas in the Clemson game Calvin was thrown the ball all of four times.

I would like to blame the coaching staff, but at the same time, I just have this strange feeling that Reggie Ball is to blame most of all. One, he sucks and can't ever seem to throw the ball accurately to Calvin's position. Two, I can't believe the coaching staff has been telling to Ball to ignore Calvin when he's open, yet it seems like Reggie looks to Calvin 3rd or 4th, if at all, before deciding to throw the ball away or make a run for a yard or two. I think that Ball is jealous of Calvin and the attention he gets, and so Reggie is trying to win without involving Calvin too much, thus taking more credit for himself.

It's really a shame. Reggie should have been dumped a year or two ago when it became obvious that he would never be the sort of passer that could really take advantage of having the best receiver in the game. They should have brought up one of the young guys like Taylor Bennet, who supposedly can pass accurately, and revamped the offense to focus on Calvin. Better than now where it's focused on a quarterback who sucks.
