Low possession game

So much to enjoy from the game today. But one of my favorites was the exchange that happened coming back from commercial to start the fourth quarter. Tell me you aren't listening without saying you aren't listening.

GT ball. First and Goal at the 2. Going in to take the lead. Cue up the Billy Madison clip...

Katie: We're back in Dublin with Mike Norvell. Mike what do you have to do to get a goal line stand here?
CMN: Well, you know we've got to be sure that we're sustaining our drives. We've had a couple of opportunities to move the ball and gotten into positive territory. We've got to continue to capitalize. Had a few missed opportunities. They've done a good job of generating a pass rush...

Also loved that the “how will you get a goal line stand” question was followed by an immediate one-play TD

Tatum looked lost at times, but to be fair he hasn’t played a ton of ball. I think he’s talented, just needs to watch the tape. Butler, otoh, looked like he belonged.

that cowboy collar can only go so much

I don't know if anyone has said this so far, but kudos to CHAD ALEXANDER dude has earned some serious snaps. Gives me some very serious Smith hardnosed run it-down-your-throat ball. Love it.

I saw some good plays by Tatum, I think he is going to be fine

Yep, 6 tackles, 3 were solo. Efford had 10 total, credited with 1 solo.

Well you can’t blame them and all the pundits for thinking GT couldn’t turn its run defense around completely in just one offseason. Obviously it takes one offseason plus one drive.

It wasn’t that for me. It was that they thought our OL was gonna get manhandled. We dominated uga DL last year and returned 4/5 and probably upgraded in the 1/5. Herbstreit in particular didn’t think our OL had a chance.

Love this quote:

"It's a great step forward for our program," Tech athletic director J Batt said postgame, "but it's really where we belong."

 

[Dustman]

Anybody remember the exact year, without looking it up, that Tech last had a dominant offensive line and a stout defensive line ?

1990?

 

[Dustman]

1. Go Jackets!
2. Shoutout to all you bums in the chat who gave up after that first drive.

Why I quit looking at the chat in-game a long time ago

Dominant play at the LOS, GT was without a doubt the better team today.

FSU can “win” the transfer portal all they want, but at the end of the day your guys gotta play cohesively and with grit, which is what Brent has gotten this team to do.

I like our #27 RB as another compliment to our run game. This team did what CBK said they were coaching them to do, tough mentally and physically and pound it out of the opponent and wear them down both mentally and physically by the fourth qt and win it in the fourth. Reminded me of 'bama against LSU many times under Saban.
Something tells me we're probably less likely to see the up one week down the next that we saw with last years team, let's hope not.
I really like where we are as a program and personally feel that one game at a time mentality that I hope we are living as a team. Going to be a very interesting and exciting year, or it at least feels that way.
I like our schedule and how it lays out, could be a confidence and momentum builder type schedule if we stay focused on each game. GO JACKETS!!

Man listen ...



... if anybody ever does this to you in CFB25, just claim your controller batteries ran out or somethin'..

Me too. The chat is toxic.

 

[Ramble1885]

You know who feels REALLY good right now?

O’Leary.

He was at the game today, and I can imagine how proud he is of seeing his former player, and a coach that he brought up and mentored, do something at Tech that he was never able to do: Beat Florida State.

My biggest fear is that bigger programs will try to poach key. Yes he LOVES Tech but money talks. Hopefully this means Batt has plans for a raise if needed.
