Perhaps you were thinking of scoring offense (points per game) where we are 41st. However, scoring offense is not the most accurate indicator of how well your offense is doing. Points per drive normalizes for games with fewer possessions (like FSU) and is a better barometer for ball-control...

For a single instance, yes. If we keep repeating it like we did the false-start plays, then it too will belong in our hall of shame plays.

I believe this was what Key was hoping to get out of the play, based on his presser. That would have gotten us to midfield. With two timeouts, another chunk play or two (likely including a pass) could get us in field goal range for the walk-off win. UNC's initial defensive mistake...

You just described the last several mutt games at BDS. But I agree there is some extra risk by making STH's pay extra, especially since we seem to have some of the most tight-fisted fans in CFB.

Batt was hired for his ability to raise revenue and increase program funding at a critical time for our future in CFB. He has been quite successful so far. He makes another move to give our finances a significant bump near-term. Fans complain. This seems to be the Tech Way. I swear I think some...

Sounds like a plausible explanation for the egregious error. Not an excuse, but plausible.

I've seen a subset of posters here with a fair amount of negativity considering we've won two in a row. But it seems to me that most on the board are generally pleased with our record at this point in the season. Credit to CBK for raising the expectation bar. There's always griping about...

Yes. 1st and 5 turned into 3rd and 6 after the penalty. I don't have a problem with the play calls on first and second down as some on here have mentioned. The clock was winding down and we needed to keep it running. Had we not gotten penalized, we would have had 3rd and 1 with an excellent...

If King is expected to be out practicing with the team tomorrow, I imagine that would eliminate some of the more serious injury types (like Pyron's broken collarbone). A small positive takeaway.

Faking an injury is deceitful, cowardly, and appalling. We should just ban all faking and deceit from the game of football. Oh wait, we can't do that because faking and deceit are an integral part of the game.

Source (show me the rule)? I am not saying you are wrong, but just want confirmation since so many on here are saying it is within the rules.

True. And that one was exceptionally egregious as it pushed us from 3rd and 1 to 3rd and 6 when we just needed a first down to ice the game. I may have thrown something at the TV. Maybe we haven’t come that far after all.

When I've seen it, I thought it should fall into the category of unfair tactics and result in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty like some other exploits, but it apparently is allowed by the rule book. This brings up the larger point, that if everyone associated with the sport - players...

12-8 is correct. Math is hard! Agree that our player mental blunders have played a large role in making games closer than they should be, and in some instances like Louisville, may have cost us a win. As head coach, Key owns those blunders. We have come a long way from the infamous...

Key’s record as a permanent head coach is 12-7. Perhaps he was outcoached in a few of those 19 games. But I’ll take getting outcoached and winning over being the outcoacher and losing, any day. Add "being outcoached" to "winning by 3 scores" and "style points" to the list of things that...

I have seen a team on defense deliberately take their time substituting while the ref has his hand on the ball to stop play, but the play clock is running. The team on offense has so little play clock left that they have to burn a timeout. Within the rules, apparently.

I think I finally see your point. In your view, violation of tax law and faking an injury are both cheating although the latter does not currently involve a penalty. The difference is the penalty. Maybe it’s just semantics, but one could easily argue that if it's within the rules, it's not...

If you are going by current standings, you left off Louisville. Our losses are to the current 5th and 6th teams. In games yet to be played, we only have to play the 2nd in the regular season. We still have a shot at the Championship, but at 2 losses already, it's a long one.

Fair points and criticism of CBK. I would counter that in most games, CBK has faced coaches with vastly more experience, including the Hall of Famer he just beat (the exception being 'Cuse). He's still learning and admits to some of his and his assistants' errors ("playing in a phone booth")...
