    Louisville Postgame

    1. LOL 2. I watched the condensed game and counted from the snap. Unless he was scrambling, King threw by the time I counted “3”. Aside from the fumble score, and maybe calling his own number too often in the run, he had a fantastic game. He’s a game changer at QB. Part of the reason there were...

    Louisville Postgame

    PFF uses all 22 views. They may be wrong on the responsibilities, though. We are not getting an amazing pass rush, but I'm not seeing the QB having a massive amount of time before throwing. We’re getting some pressure. There is about a 5 count before he has to scramble, but he’s having to...

    ACC QB Rankings Week 4

    QB ratings are partially a team stat. He might be getting NFL attention at Liberty.

    Louisville Postgame

    On one hand, the defense gave up 17 points. On the other hand, Louisville lost two offensive possessions from the fumble recovery touchdown and from the blocked kick. Maybe their offense scores 23 or more, if not for that. Also, (from ESPN) Passing C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT QBR Tyler...

    ACC QB Rankings Week 4

    C tier, until he plays someone. Duke is 4-0, but they have the most incredible cakewalk schedule I’ve ever seen aside from Liberty

    ACC QB Rankings Week 4

    The ESPN QBR is purely from stats, and King had an 86 QBR, but that doesn’t count what was effectively a pick 6/fumble/backward pass that wasn’t credited to him in the box score. Even with that, King is having a great year. Cam Ward is playing at a Heisman tier. King is playing at a top 25...

    Some optimistic tidbits for those losing hope

    Key likes to quote Saban “don’t waste a loss”. The problem with the Louisville game is that we didn’t learn from the Syracuse game. On offense, the passing game is there, and we need to take advantage. On defense, the passing game is there, and it’s a problem. Brohm is a good coach. Hopefully...

    Analytics post mortem

    I don't think the game was in our favor after the safety, but if we'd scored a TD on the next drive, it would have been. The kick-6 was brutal. Again, maybe I'm missing where we run an RPO or play action, but EVERYONE is keying on the run against us. We should be feasting on play action...

    Analytics post mortem

    Here are some overall stats--I'm not sure if this includes Louisville yet--from GameOnPaper's GT 2024 Team Profile. There's an explanation of the radar graphs from Bill Connelly's 2018 GT Preseason Preview...

    Analytics post mortem

    It's Sunday. Let's look at the Louisville game quickly. The odds were on Louisville's side most of the game. Scoring first helped, but allowing them to score 17 "unanswered" points was not good. Momentum shifted our way a few times--stopping them at the beginning of the second half, getting a...

    Louisville Postgame

    I think we’re a good team. We’re solid, but we can’t impose our will on other teams by brute force. Our defense is better than last season. We missed the window for the portal on defense. We should sling it more

    Announcer states...Christian Leary left the team?

    That’s a good place to end this. With some of the bitterness because of losing to Louisville, some snark and speculation is coming out. I’ll lock this for a bit

    Louisville Postgame

    I’m sure someone is going to come with video to correct me, but it seems like our options are hand off or QB run. We don’t RPO. We have the receivers for RPO, but we don’t seem to option that way. We get into a first down run between the tackles habit that is really predictable. Great play by...

    2024 non-GT games thread

    Just in case anyone is wondering, there’s no offset. If DCTFG gets fired, there’s no difference in our payments. WOW. Soft zone and no penetration. That’s the safest pocket I’ve seen in years.

    Game 5 #GTvsLOU Media

    Yeah, when you get recruited to transfer in by the head coach, when that was rare, and become the new starting qb, which splits the team, and you get blamed for it, that’s not the bedrock of good memories. Maybe he is blame, but GT wasn’t a warm home for him

    It may also be cheaper than legal fees
