Georgia Tech lost to Georgia today, in yet another pitiful performance from GT QB Reggie Ball, the true MVP for UGA this day. That Reggie can still play so moronically after starting for four years is mind-boggling; the fact that Coach Gailey has stuck with him perhaps more so. It's not like you couldn't see this coming. Yes, Reggie has some brilliant games, but he's also got the best receiver in the world, and he can barely ever get the ball to the guy. With just an average QB, Matthew Stafford for example, Calvin Johnson would have won the Heisman. A QB that connects one less than half his passes is not a D1 QB.

I can't put the blame on the defense, they held GA to 15 points. I can't put it on Calvin, because the balls thrown to him weren't catchable. Can't blame running back Tashard Choice, he was rolling all day and should have been used more in the red zone instead of Reggie's patented "close my eyes and throw it in the air and hope Calvin catches it" plays. I could put some blame on the other receiver named Johnson. And on play caller Patrick Nix for bad red zone choices. But most of the blame has to go to Reggie Ball and the man responsible for him, Coach Chan Gailey. This was a 7-5 team that plays in a conference in an off-year and got lucky to be 9-3. With a decent QB, however, you could make that 11-1.
