Just win next week. One game at a time.So….bottom line, we aren’t as bad as we feared. We look healthier after the bye, which many of us predicted. Duke has been a solid team this year but they cracked under the pressure tonight against a Tech team that kept coming after them.
It will be interesting to see if Duke recovers from a disappointing loss. Tech exposed some issues that other teams may be able to exploit.
Tech, on the other hand, looks like they might be starting to recover their timing on offense, and the defense was playing fast and aggressive again. If Tech continues this trend we might be back in business.
There is a reason that Duke didn't receive any votes in the AP poll even though they were undefeated. There is a reason we were 9.5 point favorites. Ill leave it at that. On a day where Bama and Tenn went down though, im glad we dodged an ugly upset.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

Yes, Biggers played.Say what you want, but bottom line is…we’re 4-2 and just beat an undefeated conference foe. We out gained them 415-279 and had 245 rushing yards. Their two scoring drives, the first one had some help from the refs (twice), and the other was a busted play that went to the house. Other than that, they really didn’t do a whole lot. Malik Murphy is not that good. On a day where there were a ton of upsets, we were not one of them.
Did Zeek play? I never saw him. I guess Cooley and Horace still aren’t a go. I dunno about y’all, but I saw Leary on the sideline in a polo.
We win. Be happy.
Duke has a good pass rush. You need time to throw down field.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
