Don't know if many of you Swarm members watched any of the Quick Lane bowl,but Duke's offense was what an offense is supposed to be like and look like. Awesome.

Considering the level of competition, they played pretty well. Lots of time to prepare , kinda like they did with us. Not real impressive , IMO. But better than watching the bowls like we are. Also the extra practice time is helpful. I still want them to lose at everything they compete in, like the DWAGS ....

You must have missed 2014 and 2016. And if you didn't then I bet that you weren't complaining about the offense then.

GT was much too inconsistent in 2017 and that's why the Yellow Jackets were 5-6

If we had even just a bare minimum of a kicking game, we would have beat Tennessee, Miami, and Virginia. That alone makes us 8-3 instead of 5-6. The offense played pretty bad at times this year, but played well at times too. Same with the defense. All in all we were a pretty good team who was snake bit with injuries and youth in the kicking game, which hurt us far more than any other phase did. Anybody who jumps to long ranging conclusions is letting emotion drive irrational thinking.
