Duke postgame

Jamal Haynes with a career high rushing, 128 yds, on his birthday. Great win Jackets!

Nice win!! Still have a ways to go but that is a solid Duke team, especially on defense and we ran all over them.

D Line had a great day.

So did I

I'll take the W. Controlled most of the game. Made plays when we needed to.

Thank you…
I was waiting… is there protocol? On a loss the postgame thread is up with 5 minutes left. On a solid win I guess we have to give the final score another five minutes to make sure it holds?

I'll stay away from complaints and just go with the good:
1. Jamal looks healthy again
2. Malik continues to be a machine, both with big catches, and blocking like an absolute beast down field on 2 huge runs
3. Somebody lit a fire in the OL and they finally started blocking in the 2H

What was that odd Duke 3rd down play before the missed FG
Was that a trick play of some sort

Wins in college football seem to be pretty hard to get today. I will take it. Good job by the boys to take what they deserved and close the book. Nice work and on to the next.

I thought the D struggled a bit in the middle, especially the DB, but they but they buckled down and got it done.

We still seemed too sloppy on offense. However, Jamal Haynes looked like himself again. Here’s hoping part of the running game struggles the last few weeks were mostly due to him not being 100%. It just feels like Buster has gotten stale and that they don’t trust King to throw the ball.

The defense played very good, almost would say great. One bad play that cost us 6 and the TD before the half is more on the STs and reffs.

I suppose we should be confident that our B Game was able to beat a scrappy 5-0 team, but I am just frustrated we still can’t complete an A Game, at least not on Offense.

We need to win Saturday to make this season interesting.

4-2 is nice, though and there are three more very winnable games left. We get frisky, maybe we can win 8 which would be quite a big step in our rebuild. We also could easily go 6-6. One game at a time.

I'd also like to throw shout outs to Isiah Canion, a fellow Warner Robins alum, with his first GT career catch.
And Chad Alexander with a career high rushing. Great to see some new faces on the field. Heck, we even had two TE receptions today. I'm already excited for next week's game.
Go Jackets!

Will be interesting to see how Duke does next few games. Their D looked pretty good tonight. Made some good shoestring tackles in space against us. They are better than I expected.

 

[Treb1982]

Can we please start throwing the ball down the field? Glad we won but damn it hard watching us run QB draws and wr screens 50% of the plays

 

[WreckinGT]

Sluggish win against a bad team, but a wins a win. Good to see Jamal finding his stride again.

So did I

DL played very well and
Got some pressure on the QB. Overall the D played pretty well.

That was on purpose. Duke pins their ears back and goes. We made them defend sideline to sideline. They have a very good defense.

That was a good win. They're more solid than I thought.

Sluggish win against a bad team, but a wins a win. Good to see Jamal finding his stride again.

Nah… gonna disagree. We all know how momentum works in college football.
I’m going with a solid win against an undefeated team.
If I’m not mistaken, a lot of folks here were arguing how good duke was (and how their schedule was as strong as ours, if not stronger)
Let’s not poo poo now.
But yeah.. Great to see Jamal healthy
