  1. 2021 ACC and Competition News

    Gibbs has been considerably better as a receiver and kick returner than as a RB this year - those 2 areas don't rely on the offensive line as much. Overall has he 77 carries for 279 yds (3.6 yd avg), with a long of 29 yds and a 46.5 ypg. It's considerably worse against ACC competion. So far in...

    UNC has to be the biggest disappointment in the conference so far. That game in 2 weeks is so important as it is hard seeing getting to 6 wins without it.
  3. #GTvsDUKE Postgame

    I want to see what out OL looks like in 2 weeks - hopefully alot healthier and alot better, because not being able to run the ball with this backfield group is a real issue. Sims can be dynamic but he has some real weaknesses as well. We basically don't throw over the middle because he both...
  4. How to watch today??

    I'm just assuming i'll have to watch a condensed game review after its over.
  5. Game 6 #GTvsDUKE Predictions

    So far in CGC's tenure we have 2 road wins - 16-13 against FSU and the overtime 28-21 over Miami. Both teams finished under .500. Duke feels like the best opportunity to get a road win this season. If past is any guidance than it is likely to be close. I'm going with GT by 7.

    Got to admit I like most of her emojis.

    Every team in this has significant flaws. Teams like Clemson and VT have really strong defenses but weak offenses. You have teams like Pitt that have great offenses, but mediocre defenses. Clemson's defense hasn't allowed more than 14 points in regulation this season, but their offense hasn't...
  8. 2021 ACC and Competition News

    I think following the money will make college football less competition not more, that will be the outcome of basically going to a pure capitalism model for college athletics. We are heading to a place where there are only 10-12 programs nationally that will compete for the national title...
  9. #PittvsGT Postgame

    Bobby Dodd has been mostly a disaster for this team so far this season. We have a win against an FCS team, a loss to a G5 program and a blowout loss to a division opponent. Let's see how our 2nd game out of state goes. Both teams are coming off of smackdowns, will be interesting to see which...
  10. Jordan Yates

    I think the Duke game is important for the QB's. Sims should clearly start, but if he stuggles or has TO issues (and I blame the OL more than Sims for the Pitt game TO's) then we do have to think about how we start games. Sims is now 3-9 as a starter. He is 1-0 off the bench. I expect him to...
  11. #PittvsGT Postgame

    Honestly, I didn't think the officiating was that bad. Last week I thought it was bad. This week it simply felt like the better team got better calls, that is not unusual. Also, on holding calls refs are more likely to call that in space then they are in the trenches. (Not saying that is right...
  12. Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

    Collins is safe until year 5. Until we get past the point where his contract is fully guaranteed we will not fire him. The fact that he was the hire of the big money people to begin with makes it more likely he stays longer. I would like to see him be successful (that is my hope for every GT...
  13. LOS

    Both coordinators should be on warm seats at this point. I suspect if GT wins fewer than 6 games that Collins will have to jettison at least one of them to appease fans and management. Outside of the Clemson and UNC games I have seen little in the 2+ years to suggest either are really ACC level...
  14. Gameday!!!!!

    This is not too far off of my story. I moved from the midwest to Atlanta in 1981 when I was entering 6th grade. When I moved to Atlanta I was a huge UGA fan (this was the time of Hershel after all), but I also liked GT because they tied AL the previous year. All it took was about 4 months in...
  15. Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

    Both Miami 19 and L'ville 20 had losing records. UNC is likely to be the first team GT has beat under Collins who has a winning record at the end of the year. Baby steps. This team can still win around 6 games.
  16. Pitt is favored

    Roddy's call has been fine today, the football team's play has not. The TD called back had a legit holding call on it. It is ok to be frustrated that they haven't called more on Pitt, but that doesn't mean the call was wrong on GT. And Rey was obviously down. The playcalling by the OC and...
  17. 2021 ACC and Competition News

    I'm in the same place i've been for the last 2 weeks. Nobody is getting through the ACC undefeated. I expect the Coastal champion to probably have 3 losses. The Atlantic champion will likely have 2. Wouldn't shock me if both divisions have to use tiebreakers to determine who goes to the ACC CG...
  18. 2021 ACC and Competition News

    Cincy and ND play this week. The winner of that game is going to have a real shot at a CFP slot. OK and OR both look like teams that will take a loss at some point. They may need to go undefeated to get a bid. in the Big 10 you have Iowa undeafeated in the West and you have 4 teams (and Ohio...
  19. Jordan Yates

    I'd start Simms, he has earned his starting spot back, but it won't surprise me if we play both QB's, or if Yates comes in if Simms struggles. It's actually nice to have 2 options at QB. It's like having 2 bullets in the gun rather than 1.
  20. 2021 ACC and Competition News

    Clemson has the potential to have a Kentucky 2020 basketball type of season. Their offense is just plain bad. Against FBS teams they are avg 226 ypg, take out overtime yardage and it is 215 ypg. They don't run well and they don't pass well. DJ has the second lowest QBR of any starting QB in the...
