Agreed. It was bad. I would say the only offense that scares me going forward is UNC. VPISU slightly but they are very hot and cold. I was looking up the statistics this morning and we are facing on average 14.5 3rd downs a game. The previous seasons under roof we were facing 13, 12, and 13. A...

If our 3rd down D was a little better we wouldn't be having such a long discussion. Under Roof our D had years of 36%, 46%, and 36%. This year our opponents are already at 50%. We face one more really high powered offense (UNC) and another who has been inconsistent but can be high powered...

Our DL was never suited for a 2 gap system. We just aren't athletic enough on the DL to make plays. We play the straight ahead runs well but the outside speed/jet sweeps are difficult for our DL to make plays. I liked what I saw from the D against Southern. What I see more often is our DL and...

Talent on the DL was down from when Groh was here. It is slowly getting better but honestly this is where we are suffering the most. This is where the ACC as a conference has improved the most and part of the reason for Tech's most recent struggles. OL and DL need to be improved.

Agreed. Tech faces a ton of uphill challenges. Now what we will never know is if someone who runs a different style of offense would have been better than CPJ. He runs a clean program and graduates the kids. What we need to do is just play better. I would say more consistency on the bottom...

I'd be interested to see how good the ACC was during Gailey's years. Very different times. A lot of teams have made huge coaching upgrades and the ACC was seen as a piss poor conference compared to the SEC. Not today.

I'm not a historian but records don't mean much unless you take into perspective the level of competition. The ACC now is a lot tougher than it was just a couple years ago.

Great breakdown longest! We are more athletic at the b-back which is nice. From your breakdown we are letting guys loose that should be blocked which is disappointing but the line looked to be playing a lot better. Mills doesn't really have any shake and bake to him but man what a player.

Seems very high considering how the game was last year. I would expect 3.

We need to wait out and see how the season plays out. I like the skill set of our young OL. I knew we would block better this game. Our turnovers were disappointing and the defense giving some big plays. Other than that I thought we played well. In order for us to win yesterday we needed to play...

The defense has been playing the run tough and not giving up the big pass plays. Clemson was definitely not clicking on offense and all our other opponents don't really have a heartbeat on that side. We will see going forward how well our defense plays. I think they have been playing well...

They don't lack size but the whole point a lot of tech fans want to state is that our 3*s are outmanned by 4*s and 5*s. I'm not going to look into what the star rating for Navys offensive line is but they have 2-Sr 2-Jr and 1-So. While we are starting 1-Sr, 2-Jr, and 2-So. So not much difference...

I think our OL lacks fundamentals when we are overpowered at the line. Sorry but Navy hangs in with talent that is by far more superior than what they have. Execution is definitely a part of this but fundamentally I saw when too many of them diving at LB legs rather than walling them off. The...

Thanks for posting this. I was curious how the film would break down. Probably has been stated before but our Oline blocking on the second level was bad. They are diving at the LBs legs and whiffing a majority of the time. Really should just get in the way. It's really head scratching. I have a...

Just watching the game. If our offense played a little better I think the game would have looked close to the auburn Clemson game. I still am not sure we pull it out especially since we started playing from behind. Sometimes you have bad games. This just happened to be one. Time to regroup and...

We gave up an average of 5.4 yds per play. Clemson averaged 5.1 against auburn and 4.9 against Troy. I agree after the 1st quarter the defense stepped up. Going forward, what offense is nearly as talented as clemson? We have been playing the run well so I think we fair against Pitt well. Unc is...

The last TD was performed at a good level not great. Green knocked his defender back and occupied him for just long enough. You aren't making a tackle with someone running full steam at you and you moving laterally down the goal line. Having watched it several dozen times it looks like Mills got...

That's odd because it is in his bio. Always thought you had to declare who was redshirting before the season.

He redshirted last year if I'm not mistaken. We had to burn it because of all the injuries.

I agree Dabo is a great recruiter but he is working with a lot more than tech has. I live in the upstate and its all Clemson. Clemson even has a dedicated radio station. They are the dominate player here. When I lived in Atlanta it was very seldom I ran into a tech fan that wasn't an alum or a...
