Game 8 #NDvsGT Predictions

[Thwg777]

31-17 GT is my pick. Relatively low scoring and tied 17 all mid 4Q. We go ahead 24-17 and secure a pick six off Hartman to ice it at 31-17.

True. All their blowout wins were against teams that are hot garbage. A&M was a 10pt game and Louisville was a 7pt game, and NIU beat them by 2. They are not unbeatable, but they are talented. 24 is the most points they've allowed to date, and Louisville and A&M have pretty comparable offenses by OFEI. If they can make some mistakes it would certainly help us out.

So far I haven't been impressed with their coaching. They are very loaded with very good players and can out personnel most teams. We need a few breaks, i,e. turnovers, penalties, in our favor to hang with them. We can't rely on running inside the tackles to hold a lead against them. We need to open it up and spread them out. I think Pyron will surprise them with his ability to run the offense. Supposedly they have several D starters injured. MBS will not be a home field advantage with their fan base.

2 words... MALIK RUTHERFORD

32-31 GT wins after scoring late and Jamal Haynes getting the 2pt conversion instead of playing for OT.

one other interesting point is ND plays Navy next week. I would think their defenive coaches have to be spending some time on that ahead of just game week based on their offense.

I believe Pyron runs the offense well and we control the clock, spread out the run, and get Rutherford/Singleton/Pyron involved in the run game to frustrate ND. Defense will get a turnover and play well.

GT - 28
ND - 14

With the psu transfer leading the way our dĺ plays like hair on fire. 44 shutsdown qb run.
DB get 2 picks. Gt DC is hero.

Pyron has 2 tight ends and we grind their front 7. Short drives thanks to defense
Gt 24 nd 17

Wrong former ACC QB, doh! I meant Leonard!

Only my predictions can be already wrong before the game even occurs, lol.

Hopefully that's the only wrong part of your prediction. Roll jackets

Are we sure he doesn't have a 12th year of eligibility left?

I feel like we fsu their season. Just a feeling I get. I mean they know they are susceptible to passing right now. They probably don’t give Pyron much credit for passing and whether it Zach or Haynes, I feel like we will score some points. Our D has shown some flashes of greatness. Under Key, we typically don’t have two outings with the same mistakes in a row and we got a LOT of those out last week.

If we play like we have been most of the season, I see something like 31-21 ND. If we tighten up and play our best game so far, I think its more like 31-24 GT

No fair…you can claim to be right no matter who wins!!

 

[stinger 1957]

We have the option in our package?? If so. we win

 

[stech81]

Doesn’t matter who is the QB . Our defense will have to play over their head.

Really?!

This is good logic as a Pyron win would guarantee more bickering amongst us. And to your point, this level of bickering is healthy. In fact, the last time we were all truly united was to ward off an existential crisis and those were not good times!

What makes you think there would be no bickering on this forum were Tech to lose with Zach? In my view, this is how the world should turn:

1) Coaches Coach
2) Players Play
3) Fans ***** and Complain

Seems simple to me.

I’m just not all that convinced that these guys are elite. They sort of seem like Louisville to me.
