Alcorn State Postgame Discussion

[pbrown520]

I was hoping Graham would play. Oliver is an option QB only. If he is a passer at all, then call me confused with how PJ runs games with insurmountable leads. He rarely gives the guys who come in anything other than the most basic parts of the run game. Then once it gets too late he's out there with the entirely second/third string and you can't really expect to execute anything else.

Oliver looked like he didn't want to pass. As soon as he took his drop his eyes went down and he scrambled.

The middle was there all day. We actually didn't have a whole bunch of sustained drives, and Alcorn was somewhat stalling. They had one drive where it took them almost 6+ mins to go 37 yards in the 3rd quarter.

Quon missed a few mesh reads, but I don't think he missed many (if any?) pitch reads. He got blown up a few times on the pitch, which meant he was riding the read man pretty well.

We've got a lot of team first guys, which helps. They know they'll get their shot at some point.

Did he ever have a called pass play? He may have and I missed it. I wanted to see what his arm looked like, but nothing. I get the feeling with him that the offense would be even more of a run offense.

Yes he had a couple that were called qb draws but a couple were passing plays that he turned into draws.

No one has mentioned Big Brandon Adams getting the start over KCH. Thought that was interesting, but I don’t recall Brandon’s name being called out for making a single play. Also, surprised I didn’t hear much from Branch, kind of disappointing.

I did notice that BA and KCH pursued the plays a long way from their starting position. Phenomenal hustle, especially for men their size.

Everyone on the team was hurt that year.

For those of you much more versed in Xs and Os than I, did Alcorn State take away the pitch to the Abacks yesterday? It just looked like they weren’t much involved in the game, as their few carriers would suggest.

We probably could have run the B Back all day. I’m not sure how much 3O we called, and how much was “non optional“.

It’s hard to get the A Back “as” involved when there is only one ball and the middle is working. Also, we got just about everyone’s hands on the ball, so yards averaged out over everyone. Offense was mid 500’s in yardage (just over 100 passing). Three turnovers probably dampened our score and yardage too.

I was happy that the GT defense pitched a shutout and the offense needs to sharpen up some going into the USF game

If you are going to be happy you may need to find another team . ( this is a joke) now go back and think of a reason this season is over.

I did like how the defense was flying around the field and i think they will only get better Did Taquon Marshall get banged up in the game? I was nervous with a hit he took in the 2nd half.

Is the word “lousy” one that CPJ regularly uses or does it reflect a heightened level of concern?

The thing i like about Paul Johnson is that he's never happy with Georgia Tech's performance on the field

There he must be on here under different names

One of the things i was disappointed in with the offense was that GT didn't have a 100 yard rusher.

Went back and watched. One called draw and one pass. Agree on the passing he pretty much immediately took off and ran.

That's because we had 3 or 4 with close to 100. If Kirvonte would have played the first, he would have.

Exactly, it’s called football. It’s just part of the game.

...we crushed Alcorn 69-6 (and Tulane 65–10) in front of ~50,000 fans. And climbed to 14th in the rankings. Clearly, openers against FCS teams are good indicators of how the rest of the season will go.

This game highlights a problem with the absence of LJ. This game is going on film and other teams will scout against GT & basically abandon coverage to blitz the running lanes. This will work for good defenses like last year.

It wouldn't matter if LJ had been available unless PJ would play him. He was definitely working on the passing game with TM.
