I can see in the next couple of years this team looking like some of the PJ years. That is, having an offense no one can stop and a defense who stops no one. As Sims and the line and excellent backs and receivers mature and Sims learns not to throw into coverage. I don't have anything...

TooTall, I ran to my desktop and quickly found the Ramblin Wreck stream. Braves too. I didn't use the app. That might have worked.

I've mentioned this before, but I got the double whammy Saturday. First Dish doesn't include Bally, so I couldn't watch. Then the radio broadcast switched to pregame Braves coverage between Sanders' first and second catches. I was on Chat and had to interpret what was happening by what the...

Great news! Anything but Bally.

Wake and Syracuse now in OT

If there were such a thing as a double like, this post would get it. Ain't it the truth?

I still can't believe we pulled this one out. This looked like so many games in recent years when the bad guys made the clutch plays at the end, not us. The blasted tech radio network switched to the Braves just after Sander's first catch, so I had to watch a replay later and stare at the Chat...

This week Duke has watched game film of exactly how Pitt was able to get a man in front of our rushers practically every passing down. (I should add that their qb made his situation better by quick moves on the rare occasion when someone broke through.) Thacker and Collins have film showing...

I'm thinking last week's embarrassment will bring out the fire in us. GT 35 Duke 17

Thanks, ILTOption. I like the 335 even more based on the confusion it can cause for an offensive line. I now have a much better understanding of why it takes a long time for O linemen to develop. My takeaway is that the physical tools are just half of the job. The other big piece is learning...

I was talking about the Xs and Os. Thanks!

ILTOption, this may be beyond what you want to do with this thread, but I'm gonna ask anyway. How do opponents sort out our 3 man front? In addition to the three down linemen, we have three others who might or might not rush on passing downs. It would seem to an amateur a confusing situation...

Interesting stuff. Let me add my thanks. This may be a leap based on little info, but based on what I see here, it would seem that a big part of our line's poor play was failure to be clear on who was to block which defender. Something I would assume would be common for guys who hadn't...

Three key points in this thread were made by Slugboy, Stech, and Ryan. A huge part of last week's loss was the missing offensive line starters. (Slugboy) I have watched generations of Tech teams stink it up at Durham. The small stadium and lack of crowd noise make it easy for teams to play...

SandySprings, your morning scene is me exactly. And the fact that we are in the third year of this makes it that much worse. I will add that I was for bringing in a PJ disciple, not a coach with a new offense. But I have seen some things this year that lead me to believe that if I can remain...

Jeff14, if you recorded the game, there is one play you have to see. We have the ball near the goal line. Sims runs to the right and is immediately under pressure. Running full stride he throws a quick sidearmed dart into the end zone. The receiver is covered well, but the ball slips into...

This was the game I was expecting last week. I am relieved to see Iceater's post about the number of starting O linemen out. Maybe we aren't as bad there as we looked today with the starters in. Today's blocking looked like Collins' first year again. What puzzles me the most is what went...

I go through the same routine every year with these guys. I look at them and say, "hmm, this is a so-so team. Not very athletic. We should get a win this week." And sure enough, when we play them, they don't look athletic. But they do seem solid. They play pretty good on offense and pretty...

It will be interesting to see if it moves much this week, and in what direction. If I were setting the line, I'm not sure what I would do. You can make a good case for either team being favored.

I would like to say I have never seen such contrast between two games as our first game and this. But as a long time Tech fan, I know that's not true. When the players play well, suddenly Thacker and Pastenaude turn out to be smart after all There may be one person even happier today than...
