Agreed, we had enough time for him to return the ball and have a shot at a Hail Mary.

I wish we didn’t take the timeout after we got the first down. With three timeouts and the time stopped to move the chains, we could have run up to the line quickly and ran it again. After the timeout I didn’t mind the first down call, not huge fan of the 2nd down call, and I actually liked the...

Great effort today. Had a shot to pull an upset!

The yards don’t bother me since both opponents were heavy run focus and you expect short fields and turnovers against that competition. The points are not good and it’s because we left so many potential scores on the field in the NIU game. If we had executed well in the game we could easily have...

Is white confirmed to be back this week?

He’s definitely earned more playing time. The easy decision would be to keep playing Yates. It’ll be interesting to see who starts next week.

Yes, we lost by one point to Northern Illinois and it wasn’t a good showing. To lose by one it took a QB who wasn’t able to perform in the first quarter, 3 missed field goals (granted one had almost no shot before the kicker came out for the attempt), a failed fourth and goal where we were out...

That was definitely worse than the NIU game.

With Sims we ran the ball great those first few drives. I’m not sure what happened on that pass to Gibbs, but there were three other open passes he missed in that first quarter that were either first downs or TDs. Sims is good enough to hit those passes. I’d definitely start Sims, but if he...

A loss in my opinion would prompt serious change in the coaching staff. However a win doesn’t mean much in my opinion either unless it’s by 50. We need a good performance against Clemson or UNC to regain confidence.

I expected our d-line to be in the backfield more than they were. I thought the play was inconsistent and losing contain on the 35 yd run was unfortunate. If that was our performance against Norte Dame or Georgia, I would be excited to have held them to 3.9 yds per rush but not against NIU. If...

I didn’t mind going for the TD there, but in that situation you need to be know what you will do prior to 4th down and be ready to make that decision. Using two timeouts in a goal to go situation and scoring zero points is not acceptable. Even if we had scored, I think criticism there is fair...

I agree he didn’t seem to have that extra burst or half step that would have let him break one or two. Gibbs was still very effective running at the start of the game but mason seemed to be more effective later. Still having two guys rush for 195 yds and average 5.5 yds per carry should have...

Now that I’ve slept on the result, I didn’t think patenaude had a bad game. We had some wide open receivers that we flat out missed. I’m not sure if Sims was just tight in the first quarter or if he just hasn’t developed. Tech could have easily scored 14 points in the first quarter, but you...

I feel like we invent new ways to lose games. 80% of the game NIU couldn’t move the ball and we forced 7 punts to our 3 punts yet they managed the same number of TDs. We won the possession time, penalties, plays, first downs, yards, and tied on turnovers. We had so many missed opportunities in...

I consider less True freshman above the line a good thing. That means we’ve built depth at most positions. It’s also good to see our transfers immediately being above the line. Now hopefully they immediately provide results. I’d still like to see our composite 247 rank closer to where FSU and...

I feel like our expectations are too high for young QBs. There are a few in college football every year who get the job done as freshman, but I’d rather not have a QB start who isn’t at least a redshirt sophomore. Now the best of the best may not wait that long to start, but college football is...

I’d be curious to know how much the scramble yards helped our rank in that case. We definitely improved our passing game last year, but we need to be more efficient and complete a higher percentage of passes. That on top of reducing turnovers and penalties leaves a lot of room for improvement.

I think that pretty much shows why Alabama is so good. Their blue chippers pretty much all got drafted in the first round

This isn’t very surprising. Even though tech does have talented players, I haven’t seen NFL talent from our upper class men the last few years. VT is one I’m interested in seeing. They did have some talented classes several years ago, but now that they are losing multiple first round picks, I’d...
