Georgia Tech Spring Game Thread

[InsideLB]

Hard to evaluate Jordan as the blocking was atrocious.

My dad lives off Houston rd right at Allen rd in south Bibb county (my stomping grounds until I was about 25). Wow my daughter goes to Sunday school Porterfield Church.

 

[awbuzz]

I know. I was saying that being on ESPN3 might explain why it's not being on 680.

... Well they had the Braves game going...

 

[GaTech4ever]

I think we have three future NFL players on our DLine this year, with some depth.

 

[awbuzz]

... No flipping fireworks after the game.

how did Henderson and bryan look

X2?

 

[DrJacket]

Henderson was moving really nicely tonight. Pursuing well. I can't wait to watch that kid when coach Sisk has him in the program for about 6-8 mos. more.

Bryan looked like live bullets were flying fast at him. I didn't see much of him. But, he looks like a freshman. He should be good, and could be soon. Green right now it seems.

Game was fun, defense played the best
Nice td catch by Summers, but June's catch in the 1st qtr was awesome.
Safety from Hawaii is a nice player
I think Kallon has really stepped up and wil be bigger part of td rotation.
Whitehead looked good
Harrell and Tre Jackson, and Noble looked good at lb

I didn't notice if JJ Green played, anyone notice him.

I didn't notice if JJ Green played, anyone notice him.

He didn't play due to injury, I think it's minor.

I thought the first and second string back seven on D were pretty even (lots of quality depth), but the first team OL was way ahead of the second team OL (not even close). Passers looked better than receivers (when the QBs were not running for their life). The RS D players seemed to have progressed far more than the RS O players.

It's nice having athletes fly around on the football field

According to AJC, Marcus Allen went 14 atts for 77 yards and 1 TD. 2 catches for 42 yards.

Yeah, he did that against our first team D. I will take that EVERY game from our starting BB.

From what I saw, Marcus has room to grow on that frame. Looked good to me. Shake some rust from bouncing around during his career, and maybe we have a Synjyn Days part II.

Only the spring game, but I would be fine with Allen if he looks like that during the Fall.

 

[CuseJacket]

Christian Philpott, Tyler Cooksey, and Brant Mitchell made it to the game. Saw Xavier Gantt as well as Eric reported earlier. Philpott looks the part - hope he's ready this fall.

I was impressed by the speed and quickness at each level on defense. This defense could be good.

 

[gtalltheway]

I was very impressed with Allen, hunt-days, whitehead, kallon, and Lewis also the a backs, we didn't get to see much of Thomas but when he did play the relationship between him and the a backs as far as distance from each other and swinging outside was very good, I didn't see Thomas get way out in front, and with as many starters as we had out I'll take this spring game any day of the week!

I had all my takeaways from the game typed up then my iPad crashed so I'm just going to give a short take instead of typing it all again.

Ike, Allen, Byerly, and Jeune were all impressive.

Jordan, Jalen Johnson, Searcy, and whitehead are coming along nicely and should develop throughout the season.

Summers, Messick, and the entire second string OL are causing me worry.

Overall the game felt lethargic even for a scrimmage and the amount of shanked punts was enough to cause grey hairs. I think the first string O and D looked like they should at the end of spring and I'm not worried. Not terribly impressed either though.


The high school juniors I was sitting next too seemed to enjoy themselves and like the stadium but they weren't talking about much beyond normal high school junior things.

 

[Techster]

Watching the game for the first time. What stands out to me: Byerly is an effing great passer. Should have had 3 TD passes on one drive alone if not for the drops. Throws a really nice ball.

Do you have a link to the replay?

So your telling me it's possible to have 3 td passes in one drive
