I have not heard a peep about Tchio and or Brown. They are either hurt, not playing well or may have been told they are scout team. I think Gibson, Scaglione and some of freshmen are ahead of those two.
We still let the French beat us much too often. But I must say, we absolutely destroyed their dream of becoming a National Champion. I guess we have that going for us.
Speaking of gambling, with ESPN + Bet, we take another giant step toward totally corrupting the game. NIL, transfer portal and now open gambling promoted by the biggest profiteer of all. Just juice the NIL money a bit to have players throw a game here or there, and who can really complain...
Our defense still has a long way to go. In my opinion, we are below average and it will take significant improvement to get to average. I would set that as a goal for 2023 with a stretch goal of being good. You have to develop an aggressive, attacking, disruptive defense. I hope this coaching...
I think what is being lost in all of this is ESPN and Fox have overextended themselves substantially betting on the come with these elaborate TV contracts to the various conferences. With the turmoil and uncertainty involved with the evolution of linear TV to streaming, a lot of the optimistic...
I think their football prowess fits right into the current level of play. UCF is the largest school in Florida and has pretty good recent success. Cincinnati has elevated itself to a quality program and WVU is as good as most any other ACC school. I think they would bring whatever current...
I think the Big 12 needs to absorb the remaining 4 PAC ? schools that would take them to 18 teams. The ACC should try to get to 18. They could coerce 3 big 12 schools, UCF, Cincinnati, and WVU and find a fourth maybe USF. The Big 12 could add another few schools to get to 18 like Boise State...
Actually, we should just buy the linemen we want. With NIL, we can just fund a Linemen Wanted Tranche, target a few all Americans and just pay them to come to Tech. That would be a lot easier than recruiting guys, hoping they develop and being lucky if you get a 25% success rate. That is...
I agree with you SOWEGA. We need more big linemen and less DB's and WR's. I hope we will see this become more the norm as we go forward under Key. If not we have little to no chance competing at a high level. The game is won or lost at the line of scrimmage.
Go Jackets!
Mid 30's is where I would rank us over the time frame post Dodd. We can move up and we will. Historically, we are one of the most tradition rich programs of all times. Top 5 in that respect. I know youngsters don't pay attention to history much so most of them would disregard that history...
OL more than any other position group, is a combination of size, strength and unit chemistry. I think we have the first two components intact. If we can develop the chemistry, we could be very good. I see the center as the leader in this regard, so if Franklin can provide the leadership...
And so it begins. ESPN laying off a lot of folks, (including our beloved David Pollock,, not). Look for Disney to spin this financial anchor off to some wild-eyed optimist who will promise vast wealth to any potential investor. The truth is this plane is in a death spiral and will have to be...
That suprises me. Scaglione was not even here for spring training so he must be one hell of a workout warrior running demo reps that have moved the coaching staff to annoint him a starter even before a live scrimmage. I hope he is our best linemen becajuse if he is, he is pretty damn good.
Go...
I think Jordan Williams will remain at guard and Robinson and Leftwich will be the starting tackles with Gibson the primary backup there. I hope Scaglione can be a serviceable backup at Guard and possibly Tackle. I'm sure they think he can play since he only has one year of eligibility...
