On the "Ball"

Nice story about the maturation of Reggie Ball. I found this quote interesting:

"You look at winning teams, and they all can run the ball," Ball noted. "So when you have a great running back, you know you're going to win some games. That takes a lot of pressure off the quarterback and the passing game."

It almost sounds like it came right out of Coach Gailey's mouth.

If it's absolutely true, then it means 2 things:
1. Georgia Tech HAS been under-rated
2. Clemson HAS been over-rated.

Of course we are not talking absolutes. It's always shades of gray. Clemson has a decent runner in Yusef Kelly. Good, not great. GT has a great runner in PJ Daniels. But let's be real - he needs to show consistency against the top caliber teams. His best performances definitely came against the weaker teams, although he did have some strong showings against better teams as well - just not consistent enough.
