[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 645522, member: 844"] I got to watch the Duke game with my oldest son (33 yo). He grew up a GT fan and we had season tix when we were in ATL. He has a young family, a full time job, is attending school again and runs a business on the side. I don't get to see him as much as I would like so it was fun watching the game with him. He was an OL in HS and decent enough to get offers from smaller schools (OVC and the like) until he had a career ending injury in the playoffs his senior year. In watching the game, he talked about his career and its relevance to the game we were watching. He said he knew early in the game how the line matchups were going. If he and his teammates were winning their battles on the LOS, the game was fun and easy. On the whole almost everything the coaches dialed up worked. The opposite was true. If they were getting whipped physically, the game was a war and their offense was sporadic. Occasionally, a play would work but nothing was sustainable. Their was nothing the coaches could call or do that would offset the physical differences. It was a mental and physical grind although he and his teammates never gave up that he saw. He never felt like the coaches won or lost the games for them (although he had a lot of respect for the coach who had won a state championship at a previous school). I share his feelings about the game and the season and it confirmed my feelings about this season. While I am not saying things have been perfect, it is all about what is and is not happening in the trenches.We are losing that battle and schemes cannot overcome this. And let me add this disclaimer - yes, the Citadel game was an aberration. But, had we won that, nothing much else changes. Just like I don't feel any different about SoCarolina after they caught lightening in a bottle. They are still an average SEC East team although Saturday was probably a great day for all associated with the program. [/QUOTE]
