Can Smith Get the Crompton Treatment?

Stat of the day, courtesy of the keen insight of Mr. Tyler Estep:

Team	Passing Yards	Passing Attempts	NCAA Rank
Georgia Tech	898	75	113
Vanderbilt	880	173	114

OK, so none of us figured that Georgia's secondary could make Johnathan Crompton look good last week, and he looked like a Heisman contender. So anything's possible.

But Larry Smith and the Commodores have 18 fewer passing yards this season than Georgia Tech, despite 98 more passing attempts. That's beyond Crompton. (In fact, can we start using the phrase "beyond Crompton" on a more regular basis? Ugh, the ratings for "Cougar Town" are beyond Crompton. Or, holy cow, the calories in this Hardees burger are beyond Crompton.)

So, the common sense theory is that Georgia's D gets a little break this week -- and maybe even another in a few weeks, considering Florida's passing attack has been far from stellar.

But here are Larry Smith's numbers for the season:

Opponent	Yards	Comp%	TDs	INTs
W Carolina	153	55.6	1	0
LSU	88	45.8	0	1
Miss St	124	37.5	0	1
Rice	268	56.1	0	1
Ole Miss	69	37.0	1	1
Army	144	45.8	0	2

If Georgia's DBs make Smith look better than Rice did, that Florida game is going to get ugly.
