    Article Jackets Sting the Seminoles in Dramatic Fashion

    Great article, Cuse, about great effort and a great win...and this part really makes it cool: "With the game hanging in the balance at the end of the 4th quarter, it was Lance Austin’s twin brother Lawrence who deflected FSU quarterback Everett Golson’s pass in the end zone, tipping the ball...

    FSU Postgame

    Not likely to find one at UGA. Drywall hangers need to be able to read a tape measure.

    JT is taking a beating

    That is an interesting observation. People might expect that our QBs are more exposed because of the type of offense we run, but since he is usually on the move as opposed to stationary shotgun QBs that sometimes get blindsided he might be less exposed to game or career ending injury. Does that...

    Introduce yourself

    Let me add a very warm welcome, 65Jacket. You arrived at Tech not too long after I had left, but I'll bet we have (or had) some mutual friends. BTW, did you know Lennie Cohen while you were at Lockheed?

    New head coach

    This ^ All things considered, CPJ is the best man for the job at Tech. End of story.

    Pitt Postgame

    I still like Burden, but especially last year when he and Mason were plowing the way for Days, Laskey, and Thomas. As for Joe and Chamberlain, meh.

    Pitt Postgame

    We lost an All-American from the O line who has since started as a rookie in the NFL; also, big, fast and well coached defenses can make many O lines look bad at critical times...such as passing situations for a team that does not throw the ball well. Now, having said that, I would agree that...

    Pitt Postgame

    From here on out, the season will have to be a test of team character. A 'W" in the right places (e.g., UGA) would still do a whole lot for the season. The good news is that the offense ought to be talented, deep, and experienced next year.

    Film Study - Offense vs Clemson

    Another excellent analysis, Boomer. Thanks. Skeptic beat me to it with his reply^, almost word for word what I would add except he did it much better. My only suggestion for CPJ is that even if it is late in the season, get back to the basics of blocking and tackling so at least we look like a...

    Clemson Postgame

    There are a whole lot of differences between this team and last year's team, but the coaches are essentially the same and even have one more year of experience. From my perspective, we got caught in a perfect storm this year. A really tough schedule, raw freshmen trying to replace a number of...

    Film Study Film Study - Offense vs Duke

    As always, Boomer, thanks for making good sense out of appeared to be absolute nonsense on Saturday. Even to my very untrained eye, I could easily see our problem as embodied in a single statement from your analysis: "The ability is there, but the team work and cohesion just isn't." When it...

    Armchair Coaches... what do you want to see

    This! So much This.^

    Way too early attempt at Perspective.

    1. Agree all the way. Credit ND for excellent recruiting, training, coaching, toughness, and game preparation. 2. O-Line did not have a good day for sure. The handwriting on the wall became evident when Skov was stuffed early in the game. I was very surprised as I thought we could run on ND and...

    You and I have the same vibes on this one.

    27-6

    What is so novel about a simple little high school offense? No preparation is even needed. Big, fast, and smart is all it takes to stop it, so no worries. You guys ought to give your first team the rest of the week off and just let your subs play the game. :cigar:

    27-6

    Tech had a 31 game winning streak broken at South Bend in 1953. That one really hurt. The pain lingers to this day. :inpain:

    Tulane Postgame

    Good adjustments after halftime. More intensity. Great play by the subs on O.

    Shaquille Mason

    Yeah, I saw that. I kept my eye on Shaq the entire time he was in the game. I thought he played well.

    Tulane is Next

    Full concentration, maximum intensity, full throttle, and minimal errors for 60 minutes by every Tech player on the field. Finish clearing the bench after halftime.
