We've all been there :)

SC kept the ball, the pick stood. Penalty was enforced and SC didn't get the pick 6 and ended up not scoring on the drive.

There's the other part of the analysis which pretty clearly shows our guys winning one on one blocks and driving through the defender when getting tackled. Those things don't go away and will only be emphasized when we play less talented teams. There will certainly be a time when we need to show...

We had nothing to lose here. We were already down one point and didn’t have any timeouts left with a little over 1:30 left in the game. Getting the ball back with time left and the ability to go for 2 was the best way to potentially win the game. Didn’t work out, but there’s not really any other...

That specific series is one of my favorite memories at Tech. It was parent's weekend 2013, my senior year. Only my dad was game enough to brave the storm with me, but he joined us in the student section. As you said, everyone had left, but those few that stayed were just yelling their heads off...

"Put On" really seemed like it could have been our thing with a strong Atlanta connection but they stopped playing it regularly. Probably just because of timing when I was a student, but it felt like a song that we really could have owned and at least for people my generation seemed pretty...

You're right. They didn't really score at will. My perception watching the game live was that our defensive performance was much more luck driven. As you said, half of those stopped drives on turnovers that seem flukey when overall they were rushing at 6.7 yards per attempt. I'm really hopeful...

Quality content. Wild that even with how ugag was scoring on us at will, our defense was somehow better than the season average of their opponents.

If you can't see the tweet, Aidan Birr is coming back.

Uhhh Clemson has owned us for a decade, not withstanding a blip in 2014 when Watson went down with injury. That defense dominated the option (Jimmys and Joes + good blitzes) and, well it was pretty easy to beat a GC coached team. I will laugh if Dabo’s hubris and inability to adapt to the...

I'd really like to differentiate between called runs and scrambles in the data. I agree if all the runs are scrambles it's not a good sign for our offense and team as a whole. I've been calling for King to be more involved in the run game either in read plays or called runs and you can see why...

Did they lose Castellanos? They have a backup in.

I think we should take this as an opportunity to review the wins we’re talking about over UNC and Pitt last year. This article shows how Key’s interim job outperformed our post game win expectancy by 1.5 games. That’s a really high mark over a fraction of the season. I certainly had fun watching...

You raise a good point. At some point if you do something so fundamentally different than the rest of football what analytics should you follow and which should you ignore? Certainly our best years with the 3O were when we had options to be explosive (often in the passing game). On the other...

While resting the D is a benefit, I wouldn't say the best way to win is to keep their O off the field. If anything, shortening the game and reducing possessions introduces more variation in the result. A single turnover becomes more influential. If you feel you have an advantage on the field you...

They didn’t even play good stadium music. I was enrolled 2010-2016 and they managed to play music that had energy like “all the way turnt up” and “put on” I don’t recall a single “energy” song last Saturday. Seemed like the whole experience was geared towards the least offensive songs that the...

For this particular chart remember success rate is just the % of successful plays (getting x% of needed yards on a given play, eg 100% on 3rd and 4th down). With that you can see how we’d be more successful on an average play as we held them to plenty of 3rd and long which they’d end up...

Which models are fed by ESPN play by play data? Since the Louisville game isn’t in there our rating will be off.

I think it just has to be optioning with King in the run game more. He’s a real threat and we just don’t quite have the ability to win run matchups while down a player.

I thought that the new rules allowed for a player to be cut from roster but remain on scholarship, thus providing less incentive for coaches to risk putting the school in line for retaliation. It appears I was mistaken and this rule only applies in the context of a new coach being hired...
