This is one of the obstacles to overcome at GT. It will never recruit at an 'elite' level and frankly is never going to be an 'elite' college football program. That really shouldn't be our goal. There are probably less than a dozen programs nationally that can be an 'elite' program. If you look...

And even today we have a shot at the Coastal title (ok, mainly that is because almost the whole division is dog crap, but someone has to go to the ACC CG.) After this weekend GT is still in the second best spot in the division. UNC is 3-0 and has road wins against both Miami and Duke. Duke...

Been thinking about this today - unless Sims is really close to 100% i'd be in favor of him sitting out the FSU game. Ankle injuries can be tricky. FSU is coming off a bye week and three straight losses to Top 25 teams. I suspect they are going to be really ready to play and their defensive...

Van Dyke left the game in the 2nd quarter with a shoulder injury. They had TO's in every phase of the game including 1 fumble on a Kick return. 3 INT by the backup QB and 5 lost fumbles. I wonder what the FBS record for most TO's by a team in a game is - Miami has to be close. The personal...

I think it is a couple of things. First their OL is really bad - they lost all 5 starters from last year. Second, their WR's are not playing nearly as well as last year - a ton of drops (I think they said something like 39 coming into this game - that is over 6 per game) Third, they are...

I think a 100% healthy Sims would have given GT a better than 50% chance to win the game last night. Sims was clearly not 100% healthy and didn't play well before he left the game. He was in for 24 snaps, GT had 81 yds, 5 1st downs and 0 points during that time. He ran the ball 3 times for 1 yd...

Like I said before, the defense was ok - i'd give them a C. UVA did alot to help our D out. The D had 7 TFL - but for only -11 yards and 0 sacks. They were not really able to get any consistent pressure on the QB. We were pretty lucky that Armstrong missed some easy throws and his WR dropped a...

I don't see that anymore. We need to win 3 of our last 5 - UGA is a non starter, so that is 3 of our last 4, and 3 of those 4 are on the road. If we wanted to have a shot at a bowl game I felt like UVA was basically a must win. I just don't see how we can score enough points to win 3 more games.

Given that during the spring game at Clemson before he transferred to GT Dabo called him a developmental QB, that probably tells you about all you need to know.

The attendance numbers are never 'accurate' reports of how many show up. All schools report attendance as tickets sold. There was an article a year or two ago that looked at tickets sold vs scanned tickets. The avg % of scanned tickets to sold tickets in FBS is around 70% (GT was right around...

IMO the defense was about a C last night. Yes, UVA did not score alot, but this is a bad UVA offensive team and it had over 400 yds of offense and frankly shot themselves in the foot alot. They dropped an easy TD pass, they missed a chip shot FG as well as a second longer FG and an XP. They had...

Sims is not a good QB. He is currently #101 nationally in QBR and #13 of 14 in the ACC. Last season he was 84th nationally and 12th of 15 in the ACC. In 2020 he was 101st nationally and 13th of 15 QB's in the ACC. He's a QB that shows flashes every so often, but is never consistent in being...

I actually was hoping to go tonight, but my wife had surgery yesterday so I need to stay home to keep an eye on her. Will be rooting through the TV. I hope everyone that is going has a great night!

They are not a good team (haven't beaten a P5 opponent), but we are not good enough to overlook them. But we should win. Our O vs their D is sort of an interesting matchup. Their run D is not very good, but their passing D (both in terms of rushing the passer and covering targets is pretty...

I really don't see conferences going to like 24 teams and I also don't see the ACC imploding. I don't see how the financials work for a 24 team type conference. B10 could have had any teams they wanted from the PAC and B12 due to their expiring contracts. They only took 2. OR and WA basically...

These are Federal charges, not state charges, so double jeopardy does not apply. Similar to how a Federal pardon only protects you from Federal charges, but provides no protection against state charges (and vice versa). Also because the alleged crimes happened here, it is US Attorney's in GA in...

https://www.ajc.com/sports/georgia-tech/bell-indicted-on-federal-conspiracy-charges-against-techs-josh-pastner/QJNEJX3SZJD35IWSRF2HBBUKHM/ And this is a Federal conspiracy charge by the US District Attorney's office. I wonder what the eventual plea deal will be (hopefully it includes some jail...

UVA lost their entire OL (they all graduated or transferred) and their OC, who is now the OC at Syracuse where QB Shrader is doing way better than last year. I'll be honest, if we lose to UVA at home i'll be quite disappointed. Having watched them 3 times, they are not a good team at all. They...

I bought into it to, but the production on the field has been pretty abysmal. Their offense has been a shell of what I expected it to be going into the season. Been an interesting year though for teams that changed coaches. Many are performing well below what they were doing last year.

I expect GT to be favored against both VA schools. Miami may be a toss up. underdogs in the other 3 road games. FWIW, in my own ACC rankings I have UNC at #3, FSU #5, GT #7, Miami #11, VT #13, UVA #14. Based on our remaining schedule I have GT going 3-3.
