I was at the game today, sitting 10 rows behind the Tech bench. A few observations: 1) I’m not sure why Yates was in for the two point conversion play, my guess is the decision was made based on the play call - which appeared to be a roll out to the right with QB run/pass option. I can tell you from the naked eye it was not a glorious start to what I hope will be a terrific career for JY at Tech (I believe Brett Favre’s first NFL pass was a pick six ..so no need to over react to one’s first career snap...and no I’m not saying Yates is the next Favre). What I am saying is that Lucas Johnson was right in front of me and if body language means anything...he was ROYALY pissed that he wasn’t on the field for that play. 2) I want to give this staff time and the benefit of the doubt, but there was no, none, nada energy on the Tech sideline the entire game. We looked poorly prepared/poorly coached. No “juice” from Geoff - especially after the blocked punt TD. 3) had an interesting conversation with Pat Swilling at halftime, very cool dude who is willing to give CGC time, requests we be patient. As for the OC and offense? Let’s just say he’s not a fan. And finally, Collins may prove me wrong, actually as. Tech fan since 1970 I hope he does, but I get a vibe that tells me he’s all style with no coaching “substance.”
