I can grasp the reality that we looked unprepared and not ready to play football for two straight weeks so that by the time we righted the ship in the second half the game was essentially over. Talent or lack thereof has little to do with a team not being ready to play from the get go.

I am not sure I agree with all this but the statement about LJ is interesting because the look on Tobias face after he scored spoke volumes.

We will be fortunate to win 6 games next year. It does not get any easier with UGA, Notre Dame, and Clemson up next year. Oh dear, did I step out of line again?

Your confidence is most reassuring. I wish that I fully shared it.

No, the second quarter was pretty bad football all the way around. I am sure that Coach Collins chewed some of them out at half time and let them know that regardless of the score this is unacceptable.

Possible, college football fans in general not just Tech "fans" are becoming more fickle by the moment. They just quit going if things are not going well.

No question about it. Our defense came to play that second half.

I would rather have our guy than that narcissistic SOB. Let Alabama have him.

Well, he can and perhaps will, "throw away two seasons in a row" but I guarantee you a third bad season will have crowds dwindling away to Duke size or worse. Coach Collins deserves time and our support as fans but he has a hard row to hoe for sure. It does not get any easier beginning next...

They are sneaky good about corner blitzes. Pitt had a devil of a time dealing with Duke's blitzes in the second half of their game. Duke came very close to coming back for a win after being down more than 3 scores in the first half.

I wonder about that. When we would run that simple speed option out of the gun, it just seemed like everyone including the line was more comfortable. One of Mason's best runs was off a pitch from James on what looked to be an option play. Maybe we should do more of it. We had over 300...

OK, I am slow on the uptake so laugh at me.

Ask UGA how important it is to play a clean game. That is a sign of progress and maturity of James' part but attempting to run up the middle on fourth down from the gun is disturbing.

Actually, according to 24/7 recruiting rankings: Duke had a better class than we did in 2016 (but then so did a lot of teams we were ranked #60 that year) and also in 2019 but just barely. Both teams since 2015 have averaged out as having top 50 classes but just barely. Duke's best class was...

Nope. Duke's recruiting rating average is about 48 and ours is 49. That excuse will not wash. I really think that Cut could take our roster and beat Duke. The main difference is their defensive line is pretty good and ours is rather mediocre to poor. They are not all that great.

At this point, I don't think it matters that much based on what I see on the field. If they leave of their own accord, I can certainly understand it.

Duke to win and cover. They have a good defensive line and will pressure our quarterbacks while we will not be able to get to their senior. Maybe he will turn the ball over 6 times like in the Pitt game but I doubt it. What I don't understand is why they invariably play poorly and lose to...

Bear Bryant, Woody Hayes, Bo Schembelcher, Joe Paterno, all coached until within a very short time of dying. Coach Johnson is too smart for that foolishness and knows there is more to life at age 65 and beyond. He does not need the money or the aggravation. Smart man.

Not now they might not but check their roster they have a bunch of players from metro Atlanta. There is a reason they have beating us lately and it is not just Coach Cut though he has a lot to do with it. They are recruiting better.

That may be true but there were times not too long ago when the thought of Duke getting players we wanted was anathema to Tech fans. Now it is becoming all to commonplace.
