Deana or Andrew, just curious if any word on Deuce and how he's coming along. I know he hasn't seen a lot of time but did have a sack a couple games back. He's a hometown guy so just checking on his status going forward.

Release:

ATLANTA (Oct. 19, 2022) - The Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Peach Bowl, Inc. today released the midseason watch list for the 2022 Dodd Trophy presented by PNC. This year’s list includes 20 of the nation’s top college football coaches representing the AAC, ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC.

Managed by Peach Bowl, Inc., The Dodd Trophy, college football’s most coveted national coaching award, celebrates the head coach of a team who enjoys success on the gridiron, while also stressing the importance of scholarship, leadership and integrity – the three pillars of legendary coach Bobby Dodd’s coaching philosophy. Bobby Dodd is one of only four honorees to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as both a coach and a player.

The midseason watch list was created through a selection process by the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Peach Bowl, Inc., taking into consideration each program’s current performance during the 2022 season, Academic Progress Rate (APR), Graduation Success Rate (GSR) and each coach’s commitment to service and charity in the community.



Coaches in the first year with their current team are ineligible to receive The Dodd Trophy.
“All of the men on the midseason watch list represent The Dodd Trophy’s three pillars of coaching: scholarship, leadership and integrity,” said Jim Terry, chairman of the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation. “While their teams’ performances on the field have been impressive, these coaches have also shown a commitment to their student-athletes by ensuring they are prepared for life after football as well.”
