That is a great point. In the past if we had a procedure call or a yardage loss, I would be thinking we would probably have to punt by series end. Now I find myself thinking "we still will get the first". Also instead of hoping Godhigh might pull out a big play, there are numerous players that...

My prediction is probably the least likely, namely that the sports writers select us in the top 2 for our division next year (behind Miami) with a top 25 preseason ranking! We should go 8-4 this regular season but this team is an over achiever and goes 9-3.

That's exactly what I was thinking...well not exactly... I agree that we will win at least!

38-31 Tech

What they have in common is strong CHARACTER. Great young men who will almost certainly use their strong character and Tech degree to do well in life after football. Life doesn't always go perfectly and I am sure their football dreams haven't all come true, but they will be remembered for their...

As I understand it the logic goes like this. If the offense fumbles the ball forward out of bounds it is brought back to keep them from using fumbling out of bounds as a strategy to gain yards. Should the defense recover a fumble, it is placed where the recovery occurred (unless the defensive...

Their lineman did the smart thing by trying to hold Travis to keep him from recovering the ball. Travis made an outstanding effort to make the recovery. Both players did their job. The refs blew theirs.

rwmwmb I loved that one as well That Gator bowl was a great one. Tech passed 10 times and ran 79 times. Don't you hate run dominated teams :) Snow was my dad's favorite player and Bill Eastman (on defense) was mine, hence my "Eastman" moniker.

Hard to compare current offenses with those because of the changes in football over the years. One of my favorite all-time Tech wins was during that time period. Tech beat Tennessee 6 to 3. Snow had a great year but his rushing total was about 760 yards (3.8 ypc)

Look at #2 for Pitt in the final Snoddy run just after he runs over the defender. He made a grammar school level attempt at a tackle and doesn't try to wrap up at all.

that is what I meant when I said CPJ "already tries to do this through substitutions and play calls..."

Snoddy is a example of why we shouldn't draw final conclusions on the value of players so quickly. Experience is extremely important and I am often surprised how quickly young players are condemned for making some bad plays that stand out in a game. This is a young team and I am enjoying the...

I think I understand the desire to get the ball into the best playmaker's hands although running option plays by definition doesn't pre-direct the ball to a singular "playmaker". To the extent that it can be done, I believe CPJ already tries to do so through substitutions and play calls...

Many players start game one as freshman and we are halfway through the year. Certainly there are risks but that goes both ways. He could have an incredible rs senior year or forgo that year to go pro or suffer a season ending injury his final year etc. To me, if the coaches think he is needed...

Clearly the d-line should at least be better and deeper which alone would be nice.

Totally agree and would only add that JT should be significantly better next year. Making proper, split second decisions is key for this offense and qb's really improve with experience. I grew up in Savannah and Gary Lanier ran the option for years in the Catholic school system. From an athletic...

No. If I was, my house would be paid off, I would be at every game, and also ignore any thoughts in this forum from "Eastman" :).

Agreed, The tendency in that I see from many people is to look at several individual areas for complaint or praise and not see the whole picture. For example "the defensive line stinks this year, or the defense has been subpar for many years, so we should change the head coach" while others...

It could be strongly argued that Tech is unique and that therefore a 6 or 7 win seasons should be accepted as a pretty good year. As for this year, many thought that it would be a bad season because of player losses, lack of talent etc. Personally I think offense is strong and getting better and...
