There was a reason he got fired from the Falcons. It showed.I like the new PA guy, the way he built up third downs was definitely different but I thought it really brought the energy regardless.

You guys sounded great and stuck around til the end of the game. As usual, our fans should not take how good this student section is for granted. I would love to hear why the South endzone was not allowed into the front rows until State turned it over on downs on their opening drive. Pretty strange stuff.I like the new PA guy, the way he built up third downs was definitely different but I thought it really brought the energy regardless. Student section as always was great. I ended up making a pact with a guy behind me to start “DEFENSE [STOMP STOMP] DEFENSE” chants every 1st and 2nd down and it caught on throughout the rest of the section for the most part.
But otherwise the gameday experience was really brought down by the total mismanagement of the block system. They appear to have overbooked, sent incorrect wristbands, and instructed security to antagonize anyone trying to get into their assigned section.
Yes I didn’t feel like we got much pressure on the State QBs either but seemed like Santucci dared them to complete difficult throws into tight coverage and they didn’t pass the test. Their WRs had a couple bad drops too but this is why they are playing G5 ball and not P4. Big difference from the dummy/disguised blitzes against DJU. I like that we tailor our gameplans to our opponents now. Full faith in this team to do some great things this season. Great to see you today and hope we can get together for the VMI game in a couple SaturdaysFirst off hat tip to GSU. I think they are going to do really well in the Sun Belt.
Second, a win is a win and I like it a lot. A three score win is even better.
Third, I felt we played very conservatively, especially on Defense. I don't recall a single blitz the entire game, and the O stayed fairly vanilla, especially early in the first half, and then again after we had opened up the lead.
Fourth, it was good to see Carrie and Pyron get a bit of playing time on that last drive. Also Carrie looks like a good punt returner.
Fifth, the refs tucked and did not call the game evenly. They said, we overcame the adversity and still won by 3 scores, I'll take it. It felt like everytime that we had a big play on the ground or on defense we got smacked with a penalty.
Sixth, find a way to survive in Syracuse and then let's see about putting VMI to bed getting guys rested up.
Seventh, D played very well, especially in the red zone. Definitely the unsung heros of the game.
Right on! We didn’t play anywhere near our best and still throttled GSU and beat a pretty healthy spread. Last year we lost to BGSU and yet in a classic trap game if there ever was one our guys found ways to put up a ton of yards and a bunch of points while keeping the other team from scoring for a significant chunk of the game. And that’s in spite of GSU having game film. In spite of GSU having a QB on their roster who was in our QB room all last year. In spite of having a DC who was in our coaches meetings all last year.I think people need to relax with the Debby downer stuff. Definitely wasn’t an amazing game by us. But GSU with only having a head coach for 4 months… looked much better than I thought they would.
But like. Just last year we got destroyed by Bowling Green. This year we beat the spread of our G5 opponent and midway through the third we were all calling to put in Pyron.
See ya next week for Cuse!
GSU didn't play well in this game. Neither did we. The score was about what was expected in that scenario. Nothing wrong with admitting it wasn't the best day, especially when you pulled out the win anyways. Just gotta clean it up before the better teams on our schedule come rolling through.I think people need to relax with the Debby downer stuff. Definitely wasn’t an amazing game by us.

Isn’t 4-0 better than 2-0?The only things I can add is
1. Singleton on the reverse showed NFL speed
2. Haynes King is damn fast
3. The students showed up big time. Almost,all were,wearing white.. Very encouraging ---this could be big towards Himecoming and miami .
The only thing better than 2-0 is 3-0

Good God in heaven. We covered and won by 3 tds. Can't we just "Be Happy" for 48 hours without doom and gloom?They say you improve the most between your first and second game, but seems like we regressed. Hate saying that when we beat the spread, but D gave up too many yards between the 20s. State left 6 point on board with TD drop and 2 pt drop. Then we need trick reverse play and broken coverage by state to create separation. Just tempered my season’s expectations. Now maybe we kept it vanilla to save plays for rest of season, so time will tell there. Just hoping this game was the fluke and not FSU when we play cuse next week.
Yeah but 90% were behind the line and gained almost nothing because GSU was fast and could trap them at sideline. Deep throws were open all night but we only took a fewWe completed the highest percentage of passes that I can ever remember…
I watched some of VPISU, NC State and Syracuse. Those teams looked …Miami however looks legit.

I'm with you we are 2-0. Really the only I am disappointed in is some of the people not happy with a win and only look at things to complain about a win. I make a suggestion they go back and watch some games that the past (head coach) coached. When was the last time our defense had a couple of goal lines stands. People this is football you don't play perfect 12 games; you win some because you are better than the team you played(Georgia State), you win some because your coaching staff did a great job scouting you opponent (FSU), and then you win some because of luck.Good God in heaven.
