Sweet play by Julio. Too bad the Falcons suck so bad. They have no excuse for such a pedestrian offense. Heck, Hooper was their leading receiver going in to this game. He had less targets than JJ or Calvin. What’s Ryan thinking? I just can’t figure out why they are so bad on offense.

"Got Cooper, Amari Cooper down to the 6 yard line. He's the one that can take it deep. Just ask the Georgia Bulldogs." One of my favorite quotes from that game against Notre Dame coming from Brent Musburger.

Bro, back when I was coaching DL in HS, we had defensive pursuit drills that finished 30-40 yards downfield.
Payne here apparently LOVES the pursuit drill!
Another cool side note w/my coaching: I was working the Saban football camp the summer before Payne's senior year just before he committed, and he ended up in my vertical leap testing line before I even knew who he was. Then I QUICKLY learned who he was later that day because he ended up in my DL group. He dominated 1-on1 pass pro drills against top OL recruits. I knew the kid was special then.
This kinda makes me proud to see him excelling like this and to know I may have had a tiny part in coaching him up a little while he was still in HS.
