Thanks to WreckinGT, UGA BLows, and others for reminding me of that Florida State game. I remember thinking, "Wow! We have a quarterback who can throw! How long has it been?" Sims' setup and delivery were smooth, and he even showed good touch. I am ready to quit puzzling about Sims. I...

This may be more depressing than the game. If it isn't difficult enough to get players who can match up, it seems we can easily be outcoached on game day. I wish there were a way to keep Collins on to sell the program and bring in talent but replace both coordinators with experienced coaches.

" We don't have dudes up front. I'm talking about guys that are relentless and refuse to be blocked. Guys that are violent. Our guys for the most part are too easily blocked. If they are blocked initially they are typically unable to get off the block and make a play.just watching the UGA-CU and...

I'll play. Based on what I've seen the most often, with that much protection, none of our linemen came close to bothering the quarterback. With no pressure at all, he stood back there until one of the two receivers came open. With no pressure, he threw a strike and completed the pass. How'd...

Great perspective, Cuse! On "Seems it was more in his head yesterday than anything which coaches are in part responsible for." Sometimes early in a golf round, you miss a couple of 3-4 foot putts. Then the next time you have one you concentrate as hard as you can but it doesn't matter. You...

From watching on television, our players didn't look to play with the energy and fire you would expect from an opening game, at home, under the lights. If you're a defensive lineman and you aren't playing with all the intensity you have, you are not going to get past the guy blocking you if...

SOWEGA, I have ruminated today on what satisfaction is possible in following Tech this year since it looks very unlikely the W-L record is gonna be any fun. What I have come up with is 1) watching to see if they can get better as the season progresses which would give us some hope for next year...

If asked what I was most hoping to see before the game started, I would have said our D line pressuring the quarterback and our O line protecting the quarterback. Well, what I saw was exactly the opposite.

Yesterday morning I read a pregame writeup which said something about how Sims is making all kinds of throws he couldn't make last year. Quotes from his teammates all August would lead you to believe he was looking really good. Had he been missing receivers all August like he did last night I...

I see a number of ads for that. What's unusual about this one?

One thing which jumps out at me is the heights of the tackles. During the CPJ years, we found that one of the reasons why our line was so poor at pass protection was that our shorter, more compact linemen who were a good fit for our run blocking lacked the length to keep the pass rushers out of...

Take, I can't claim to know, but my guess is not. Louisiana has some masking and vaccination mandates for higher ed that we do not. It would have to be all of the University System, and our Chancellor and Regents haven't shown any inclination to do anything like that.

Did he say something like this last year? If not, it seems most likely he is seeing a better pass rush than he has before. Granted, given our near total lack of a pass rush for umpteen years, they could be better and still not qualify as really good. But still, it's preseason. The time to be...

This was very satisfying, but bittersweet when I think of how far we are from competing with the Dogs in recent years. But then we have been way down before and come back.

I see so many player names in this thread I am drawing a blank on. I took a look at the roster, and between recruits I don't know and transfers I don't know, it's like following a new team. Might as well be optimistic.

This is a happy, unexpected bit of news! I had the same question as IM79 -- it would be more great news still if he could kick off deep. Practically every game last year we lost a whole bunch of yards every time we exchanged kickoffs.

I missed this news earlier. Man! What a bummer. I was hoping he would re-emerge next year. Regardless of his deficiencies, that kind of deep speed has been very rare at Tech,

I want to see SIms work on his deep ball. He needs to get a better feel for the high deep ball that a receiver can run under. We had receivers open deep this year, but he often threw a line drive, and not all that accurate either.

One of the most frustrating games I have ever watched. Two procedure penalties at the 1 yard line. Wow.

An observation based on some of the previous posts: Duke's crowding the line would seem to explain the number of tackles for loss, the amount of pass pressure on Sims, and the many long runs. Yeah, if you put too many up close you risk having no one else to make the play if the back breaks...
