Just want to echo @Yaller Jacket's post above - it seems in the "interception plays", the play blows up not because we are being manhandled, or had a bad scheme, it's because one guy failed to block the right opponent. This should be readily correctable via coaching and reps, and I remain...

Appreciate your opinions and insight. For 2), I still don't understand why, since we had to know the same facts you stated (especially after the first couple of failed attempts), we kept choosing to do it, even on absolutely critical downs.

I'm not giving our defense a pass by any means, but they didn't give up 50 points. That's an easy hot take when you just look at the score. The offense gifted, from an EPA perspective, at least 10 points directly via two picks. After our D forced a punt on Pitt's first possession, our offense...

Good summary. I thought exactly the same thing on the bolded observation - hoping that coach Key noticed it as well.

These are posted on ramblinwreck.com in the schedule section under the appropriate game of interest. The UNC game is https://ramblinwreck.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/GT_092521.pdf See page 7. I've heard that these game summaries aren't always100% on player participation.

FEI ratings had Clemson ranked as the #1 defense going into our game. Haven't seen a post-game update for that particular stat but I suspect they may remain near the top. I didn't hear Collins say "best of all time"; I heard "best in college football", which is not just hype if you agree with...

It's a natural, some would say knee-jerk reaction among many fans to call for firing the coach after a disappointing or unexpected loss. But to put it in perspective, there's another message board that specifically bans calls for firing the coach. I'm not exactly sure why, but their policies...

Really hope Juanyeh can step up his game. Someone mentioned injury, so I wonder if he's still playing hurt. I pointed out in another thread that his tackling often seems lacking, almost like he's not trying to get his opponent to the ground. When he first started playing for us, he seemed...

I’m in the camp that thinks we have not met expectations in the W/L column but agree with @Billygoat91 that our offense and play calling with Yates at QB has been a pleasant surprise. Last year our offense ranked 92nd (source: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ncaa/fei/overalloff/2020)...

On NIU's long pass completion in their last series, it appears that #1 attempts to tackle by grabbing the shoulders, which is ineffective and contributes to the YAC. I've seen him do this on other tackle attempts as well. Hopefully, the coaches are noticing this and providing some tacking tips.

Agree in general although I don't remember his fumbling (maybe mentally blocking those out?). It's more of a comment on how PFF can be a useful tool, but the grades can also be taken with a grain of salt due to the stats they use for grading. I mean, JT doesn't even make the top list yet he was...

My guess is that Snoddy's overall body of work stands out in the statistical areas important to PFF's grading system. If you look at his numbers here: https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/broderick-snoddy-1.html, which does not include the blocking metric that PFF also uses, they are...

Nothing to counter your overall point, but in the Jeff Shultz article referenced in The Athletic thread, he sources data from US DoE for the year ending June 2020 to obtain total revenue for all ACC schools. We're next to last, ahead of only Wake Forest. Close to BC, though.

In any case, it's good to hear that you are increasing your donations. I have as well. Not yet convinced that CGC is the guy to get it done, but I think he and ADTS are on the right path.

Am I the only one that is seeing the irony in these two statements?

FYI - Georgia Tech featured on tonight's ACC Roadtrip at 7 PM est. From the email: "On Wednesday, the ACC Network’s 2021 Football Road Trip stops on The Flats to check in with Georgia Tech! Tech alums and ESPN college football personalities Chris Cotter and Roddy Jones will host the one-hour...

I was responding to comments about ESPN needing to change their business model and needing to respond to cord-cutters - but as you correctly stated (thanks), currently ESPN+ does not have the college football content to be a substitute for their standard linear TV service. I imagine that their...

FYI - ESPN+ streaming service was launched in 2018 and has grown rapidly. Last quarter Disney reported 13.8M subs for ESPN+. It is currently priced at 6.99/mon or $70/year. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1054451/espn-plus-subscriber-us/

Well, I defer to your personal experience re: the 30%, which if it held throughout the stadium would easily explain 10-15k seats going to mutts. Still, that's disgusting. Hard to understand why so many who have already made the investment in season tics would sell what is arguably the biggest...
