Anyone notice something unusual about this photo? It seems to me that whenever a crowd rushes the field, our miraculous win over FSU in 2015 for example, there are always more people in the stands than actually on the field. Duke, being Duke, seems to have more on the field at least to me.

We have been joined in the basement by Clemson

Anyone watching the Clemson-Duke game tonight saw a coaching clinic by the Duke staff especially on defense. The open field tackling was something to behold as was Clemson falling apart with two blocked field goals and I think 3 turnovers in the red zone. The difference between Duke and Tech...

Good catch. I meant in their particular situations, both teams really needed this win because quite frankly neither one of them is all that great and wins will be at a premium. Upon further review, Tech's schedule is considerably more demanding so Key needed the win more so than Brohm although...

"Malicious anger" is it? Odds are pretty good that Haynes is either going to have to start developing eye balls all the way around his head or my preference, get in the face of some of those offensive linemen that should be matadors in a bull fight rather than linemen in a football game.

I would love to see one upset from this group as well. That said, the chances of winning any of those games based upon what I saw are pretty slim. I don't even think we can beat UNC which is usually a prime upset hope. My win total prediction remains at 5 with wins over SC State, Bowling...

My thought is after watching that offensive line, that boy better be sure he has his life insurance paid up. He has good wheels and he is going to need them. He led the team in rushing and threw for over 300 yards, I don't know what more one could expect from him. I enjoyed watching him but...

Are we SURE Joe Ham does not have any eligibility remaining? Put Hamilton with that group of receivers and people would be wondering if they were at a track meet instead of a football game.

I wonder if the conservative play calling was an attempt to run the ball and control the clock a little to give our defense a breather. Seems they were gassed pretty soon after the third quarter started. The long run where the Tech defensive back hit the Cardinal running back near the line of...

No, I don't think Coach Key will be as prone to that sort of thing as Coach Collins' crew was but the margin for error on this team is very narrow. Tech is not good enough to overcome miscues and has to play near perfect to have a chance against good teams never mind UGA and Clemson. My...

I never thought of Plummer as having "broken play running ability" but being decisive with the ball counts for something. If we don't get a whole lot better on defense real quick, Mississippi is going to run us right out of the stadium. We can hang with them but the defensive line has got to...

Four bad years will do that. My Florida buddies tell me that Florida Field which seats about 90,000 is hardly ever full any more unless they are playing Tennessee. Never thought I would see that after years of seeing fans holding up fingers for tickets with none to be had in Gainesville...

Singleton is one of those guys that before the year is out, he will be on the field in pre game warmups and the opponents' defensive backs will be pointing him out to each other and saying "See that dude? He is the guy we have to shut down." He can be that good.

Very good summary of what decided this contest. I differ with you on Louisville. I don't think they are all that great and we are mediocre but at least entertaining to watch when King has time to throw which will not always be the case.

Interesting situations. Personally, and people will flame me for this but that is OK, I don't think the coaching decisions cost us this game as much as the poor tackling and blocking along with the absolutely zero pressure on Plummer. Those three things mattered more in my opinion than the...

That catch along the sideline and the one in the end zone, I think, reminded me of Smelter, Waller, Jeune, and any number of outsized wide receivers in the past who could go and get the ball. Impressive.

The quote from Coach McKay was vintage. He was asked once by a reporter in Tampa: "Coach, what about your team's execution?" Sayeth the Man, "I am for it." I still don't understand why he left USC for that kind of aggravation. Money, I guess.

Louisville fans are waiting for basketball practice to start. Louisville is a school like Duke that basketball stirs the drink not football. It has been that way for as long as I can remember. The defense really misses Ace, Charlie, and White. There is no replacing those three, at least not...

They do have a much easier schedule but honestly I don't think they are that good but we will see.

After watching it twice, my reaction is the same. We are not that good, the tackling is very poor and the line play on both sides of the ball was disappointing. I see now why the coaches have faith in King. He is dangerous given time and is mobile enough to hurt defenses. The blindside...
