FIFY. Btw, a toss sweep works best when you have a back who weighs 220, cuts like that, and runs a 4.5 forty. I miss him. Oh, I miss him so.

Btw, Castellano reminds me a lot fo Justin Thomas. Enough said.

I think we need to keep in mind that this game is big for both teams. They are 3 - 2, Tech is 3-3. The team that wins this game will have a decent chance to win 6 - 7 games. The team that loses will be lucky to get to 5 wins. It is a monster contest for both squads and we had better be ready for...

Yes. This has been another in a series of simple answers to simple questions.

Ah, but Oregon fans have longer memories. See: https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2023/10/open-thread-ii-a-fumble-and-a-bottle-of-cristobal-edition Lemieux still hasn't forgotten.

That commercial with Dr. Sid reminded me that Dodd said he was the "toughest" player he ever had.

My all time favorite is Tech vs. Clemson in 2011. They were the 5th ranked team in the country with Taj Boyd and Sammy Watkins. They were as good on D as the Tiggers are today with multiple future NFLers. But Tech simply came out and cleaned their clocks for the whole game. I saw it and I've...

Well … the U fans have strong opinions about this game. See: https://www.stateoftheu.com/2023/10/8/23907911/miami-hurricanes-football-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-georgia-tech-2023-edition-team-grades-more Ok, they aren';t very complimentary about Tech. But, hey, we won.

First, congratulations to the Jackets for a great victory! Both the coaches and the players showed real guts last night and deserve generous praise for their efforts. I was very encouraged by improvements on D and by how, as da U's D wore down, our O ran and passed the ball so well under...

Yes. This was the kind of game Bobby Dodd loved and usually won. That we won despite such terrible field position was largely due to our special teams.

I watched the whole thing and after our drive to answer da U's TD in the second half I thought we had a good chance to win. The players gave a great effort, especially on D. Then the colossal, incomprehensible, remarkably dumb errors by Christobal gave us the ball again and two plays later, we...

Interesting, especially since having a good O is a poor predictor of having a good D. Good display too.

True, but Wake doesn't depend so much on "talented" players. Here's their 247 composite rating (including transfers) for the last 5 years: 67, 79, 68, 53, 59. They've been averaging about 4 transfers a year. In short, they live within their means, develop the players, and put junior/senior...

In general, I take football indices of all kinds with a boulder - a big one - of salt. I know how dicey indices can be; I've developed a few myself and I've never been satisfied. Since I never bet on football games I have never had much use for them. When I look at a game I'm guided by the teams...

That is one really bad graphic. The print is too small, the arrows don't appear to lead much of anywhere (I know they were meant to, but …), and the comparisons are hard to make. Well, these guys are football nerds, not real data analysts.

If I felt that there was a plan in place that would lead to better results in the future or if Key had a rep for resurrecting programs by such a plan, I would feel a lot better. I keep harping on Clawson and Wake for a reason: they had a plan based on player development and a sound offensive...

I do! I do! (Hand waving frantically in the air.)

Bingo. I would suggest that our swoons (well chosen word) are the result of our inability to run the ball effectively. The root cause of our problems on D is that our D is on the field too long during the games. This in turn is due to a lack of a reliable running game. I hate (well … I don't...

What was the shocker in 2018? Btw, we beat BGU 63 - 17 that year.

Amen, brother.
