    Someone had asked for the rushing numbers with King taken out. That’s why I posted them. Sarcastically, run more Pyron and Singleton. ;) I’d have to look at the video to say what I thought. We lost. We were good enough to win, but were probably a little tired and still banged up. Maybe more on...

    Analytics post mortem

    I’m not sure if the coaches are always sure what got audibled to. The scouts have to do some guesswork. I wouldn’t go binary between “subjective” and “quantitative”. Refs and fans debate what a catch is—the sport has gray areas. A game film breakdown is high information. Some opinions are...

    I braincramped and wrote VT twice. One of them should be NCST. I think we have a shot at a great season—we need to win games like the one we just lost, though.

    Generic feature. For example, it didn’t give Pittsburgh home field advantage on Sunday in the Benz against the Falcons, but they seemed to have it. {I haven’t seen the algorithm, so it’s a SWAG}

    Expectations

    We’re better odds than not to get bowl eligible. But just barely. We have a top tier QB, but our offense is inconsistent. We probably need to be more balanced. Our defense is susceptible to the passing game. In the offseason, some people said if our defense improves to average and our offense...

    Joe Hamilton will no longer be on tech radio broadcast

    I was surprised when I heard Sean Bedford in the booth. He always does a good job, though. I didn’t mention it before the game, but Chris Cotter was our TV play by play, and for some weird reason we have bad games when he does the call.

    That’s why Key brought up offensive inconsistency. We gave Syracuse ownership of the game. Our offensive numbers were overall good, but we gave Syracuse control of the first three quarters Is that for the season, or just last weekend?

    Syracuse Post Game

    Players can get open against a 3 man rush, if you stone those three guys. We didn’t.

    This would have been worse at halftime, or the end of Q3

    It’s a little early still, but this is from https://kfordratings.com/projections The “miss” column is who we don’t play. I think this underestimates us, but we have some flaws to address.

    How good are the Quarterbacks we face?

    Here’s ESPN’s QBR: https://www.espn.com/college-football/qbr Cam Ward is second. Beck is sixth. Klubnik (Clemson), who we don’t have for the regular season, is 11th. Our Hayes King is 14th. McCord from Syracuse is 20th. 2 weeks into the season, things will move. @UgaBlows Leonard played...

    Syracuse Post Game

    There is one, but this conversation spills over everywhere. We didn’t keep pace in the first half. The defense was on their heels in the first half, and blocked a field goal to keep us even. The defense needed a lifeline; instead, we punted after 3 downs. Then they scored a TD, and we punted...

    Conferences “looking” pretty even so far, not that it means much. Which is more important for judging conference strength—UT vs NCST or Cal vs Auburn?

    I didn’t see the game, but against NDSU he was under duress all game. That OL was doing him no favors

    Syracuse Post Game

    FYI, this year, we gave up 21 12 31 On defense Last year, we gave up 39 13 48 And the 13 was to FCS SCST We aren’t Iowa, but we look improved over last year’s defense. The offense is also improving, but not as much. We should vary our attack. @takethepoints preseason projections had Syracuse...
