Me too. Gibbs is the closest thing to a game breaking receiver we have on the team and he ought to be where he can get the ball in the open field more often. Of course, he's no slouch as an RB either …

Here's the difference: GT - Sacks: 0 TFL: 1 QB Hurries: 2 NIU - Sacks: 4 TFL: 6 QB Hurries: 4 Or, to put it another way, the D wasn't effective.

Pretty bad. This has been another is a series of easy answers to easy questions.

Actual colloquy between Bobby Dodd and Bill Curry during Curry's first season: Dodd: "Son, what did I tell you about plays inside the 5 yard line?" Curry: "You said to always run the ball." Dodd: "And when you got down to the 4 yard line yesterday on 3rd down, what did you do?" Curry: "I...

There was, actually. When Reg was a frosh he threw more interceptions then TDs. For an old style NFL coach like Gailey and for Tenuta, that was anathema. No turnovers, especially on forced passes, was the coaching point from then on. And, sure enough, Reg learned how to throw it away. This...

Personally, I think the game next week will be an on-field interview of Bohannon as our new head coach. I'm not saying that because I think the spread option is the be-all, end-all offense for Tech. It's because, if we lose, there will be one candidate for a new head coach who will take the job...

The answer to this is simple and I'm at a loss to see what it hasn't happened: let him run more. I'll repeat that, let Sims run more. He's good at it and it'll take some of the pressure off his reads as well as off the OL. Since Yates, who is Ricky Dobbs reincarnated, will run more, whether the...

What we need: That's my college coach to the flesh.

I've said this before too. Tech has a problem and its a big one. We will never be able to recruit the players needed to make the typical college spread offense work well enough to be a top 25 team consistently. I repeat, never. The school is already an anomaly; the only other STEM institution...

I've said this before. The problem with Collins is that he doesn't take winning seriously. I don't mean by that that he doesn't want to win or that he isn't trying to win. It's that his demeanor and that of his assistants during games and (I assume) in practice is that winning isn't the main...

I forgot to add this. Aaron is always good on risks from the virus. See: https://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/the-delta-variant-and-vaccine-protection/ Again, I'm probably being over cautious. The vaccines offer good protection from the Delta variant and all the others. But … I want to...

All that loud cheering is the main reason to not go, imho. But, if you are vaccinated and wear a mask, the risk of infection from the disease leading to dangerous consequences is low. I'm still deciding myself; I'm 75 and even a minor bout could lead to trouble. Update: Just looked at the AJC...

They are expecting a close game. As I said earlier, I expect Tech to cover, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it close. It's our first game. Btw, remember that we barely beat GSU in the first game in 2014 with probably the best Tech team since 1990. If it is close that won't necessarily tell...

I think Tech covers, but I also think we'll know a lot better what to expect next week. I wouldn't lay any heavy bets either way at present.

I know that what with the COVID year the class status is skewed, but, Laws, our DL is young. If I had my druthers, I'd see more youth (but not much more) on the OL and less on the DL. I hope that we age quickly over there; the talent is present, if we can hold the first for a few games. Other...

True, if we can just get our opponents to only rush from one side.

Yes. I expect that we'll have more talent but I wouldn't be surprised if it takes awhile to show up. Game experience with your teammates Is what makes a good OL. A lot of that will depend on avoiding injury. Collins's first year OL is a good illustration. If we had had all 7 healthy for the...

Take a look at this: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-best-interior-run-defenders-probably-wont-make-your-defense-better/ Yep; the correlations seem to indicate that the better your run D in the pros, the worse your overall D performance. It would be interesting - and I'm not...

I hadn't heard we had lost Rankin. I thought he was odds on the best OL recruit we had in the last few years, though Williams could also make that claim. Luckily, it appears that we are deep enough to take the hit without much damage this year. I hope both Smith and Maye earn meaningful snaps...

You pays your money … In the spread option the tall, really big guys (exception = Mason) were at guard and on purpose. The dive was the main play to get established and having real monsters inside was the way to see that happen as the game went on. Needless to say when we had good size across...
