My conclusion - very poor technique.<BR/><BR/>The question: are there not any technical improvements Todd and coaches could come up with to compensate for his arm weakness? Surely there are gurus who specialize in this.

Tuberville even commented to Blackledge before the game that he didn't think we could score enough points to win.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-64901912045098683972008-09-21T22:01:00.000-05:002008-09-21T22:01:00.000-05:00Positive thoughts:I agree with whoever said 9-1 go...Positive thoughts:<BR/><BR/>I agree with whoever said 9-1 going into UGA.
