Just looking at them that is who they are but the defensive backfield is not up to the standard set by the defensive line. Pat is old school in many ways and his team reflects that except they do throw the ball a lot and their passing yardage is more than double their rushing yards.

They do kick a lot of field goals. He is conservative by nature and likes to win with defense and kicking. They do have a talented kicker who can boom them. Think they have kicked 19 or so this year, about two a game.

Now that is good news. That guy is really good but they have three more on that line who are pretty good as well. They may have the best defensive line we will have faced this year outside of Notre Dame and Clemson. Please protect Jeff. That boy is the future of this program and these guys...

Just looking at them, they remind me of NC State but without the top flight receivers. I think Pitt is better on the defensive line and quarterback and the Pack was a better team overall but only slightly. Only one missed extra point in overtime separated the two teams when they played. State...

I don't know. I have watched Pitt in three games. They played a heart stopping loss to NC State when their talented albeit inconsistent kicker kicked a 53 yard, I think, field goal with no time on the clock to tie the game then after the Pack scored a TD in overtime, Pitt answered and the same...

1975 was the end of the honeymoon for Pepper also. That loss to Auburn, a very poor Auburn team in Shug Jordan's last year too. Tony Head broke his leg going in for a TD. We were up big and in the second half turned the ball over three times in a row on fumbles and the Tigers came back and...

The year we beat Alabama and lost ten in a row...I was there. The year we lost to Furman...I was there. The year an offensive lineman was being interviewed by Al Ciraldo and was asked why he came to Tech and he looked up at the water dripping from the stands above his head and facetiously...

Well, they can start by not making the same mistakes that they have been all year with penalties. No, I do not live in a "dwag" family. My father, God rest his soul, graduated from Tech in 1950 as did my brother in law. Tech born and bred. I do not care to read your silly insults and innuendo.

I really believe that had we scored a TD instead of kicking the field goal and put pressure on them, they would have wilted. State has no one that should scare an opposing defense running the ball. The 10 TFL is a stat I had not seen which explains why we did not top 300 yards rushing like I...

If we don't start winning some games, there will not be enough people to bother with watching it. They need to get better, I don't have to "get better".

Now that is not nice. What you saw was his money belt for recruits.

I see your point but if Pitt blows us out will we have gained anything? This is a pretty bad team. It is not going to magically get better. I am just ready for the whole blasted thing to be over and done with.

Well, gee whiz, if you were coach of a blue blood pedigree program like Kentucky and lose to a team that had lost to GSU and Mercer, what would you do? Personally, I think someone should just give him a gun and let him get it over with before he has to suffer any more.

Yep. I think I heard "wonder" about Sims' passing accuracy as well. He knows what he is talking about regarding quarterbacks but right now Sims' athleticism and elusiveness may be more important especially when he is running for his life.

54 scholarship players? I am not sure what is to be gained playing this game unless its TV money. Who knows? Pitt may be down a bunch too. Maybe they should just let the freshmen and walk ons play for practice.

How about that? We had a man advantage and still messed it up. I still contend that near the goal line give the ball to Mason with a lead blocker, maybe that tight end/snapper or another big back. He will get the ball in the end zone, one way or another. At some point, the guys have to...

Close only counts in horseshoes. Putting pressure on the quarterback is often what separates the winners from the losers in today's game. I watched Trask of Florida on Saturday. Sims has a long way to go before he is in that kind of company. On the other hand, all the practice he is getting...

What I have an issue with is going into hurry up on the one yard line. Give the ball to Mason. If he doesn't get in, give it to him again. I don't think they could have stopped us from the one yard line.

This is what they do. NC State has a big and physical bunch of receivers with the exception of the white guy in the slot who also was the punt return man. They push off while the ball is in the air and then high point the ball. I thought we did a pretty good job on number 88 who is a load to...

In this day and age, it is hard to win football games kicking field goals. Back in the day, a field goal lead in the fourth quarter was money in the bank but those days are gone forever. The Rev. said something in the post game that disturbed me. He said something to the effect that Sims...
