God we needed that. (POSTGAME THREAD GT 26 - PITT 21)

[GoJacketsInRaleigh]

Congrats to Key. Maybe Thacker isn't so bad. We were gassed at the end and gave up two garbage drives but otherwise defense was great. Should have kicked a FG when it was 19-7 at the 1 yard line.

JACKETS!

That was fun! We should do that again

YELLOW!!!!!!!

JACKETS!!!!!!!

We're not good. The offense needs a lot of work. But I saw more heart and want-to tonight than I've seen in years. Excited to see how the players respond and (hopefully) build on this performance.

The offensive line still needs a lot of work but "heart and want to" are good foundations to build a successful football team. After all the drama of the last 4 years, I don't think we can ask for more than what these players and coaches delivered tonight.

 

[TheNaturalScientist]

Best defensive performance in 20 years!!!

I don’t disagree with any of this, but I’m not sure there’s anyone outside of the leg humpers left on our schedule that are much better. We have a shot!

Proud of the young men and really proud of Coach Key. The post game interview showed his love for Georgia Tech. Whether he’s coaching here in some capacity or not after this season, he’ll always be a Yellow Jacket and I think we’ll look back fondly of his leadership during this difficult transition.

If D plays to that level, and our O plays mistake free football (realize Jeff could have had 2 INTs tonight), I think we might beat Duke by double digits, but ifs are just that.

Glad for our SA’s we got a much needed win. And the unis looked good.

Oh, I guess we aren’t on any “bottom 25” lists this coming week.

Duke is legitimately good. They pushed UVA around today. But, we have a shot. And, unlike this past week, we have a chance to have a full and focused week to prep.

don’t hate going for it but hate the playcall

 

[Tech93]

And we finally have a FG kicker too!

 

[iceeater1969]

Think about the defensive staff, especially the improvment of DL .

 

[Buzztheirazz]

I am 100% confident Geoke Collins would’ve lost this game. Proud of our players. Pitt played like crap but we dominated most of the game.

uva is bad though. like collins georgia tech bad. still hard to tell with this duke team cause none of their wins have been against good teams

Kudos to the defense. Great performance tonight. Especially Charlie Thomas. He was easily the best player on either team. Offense needs a lot of work, but thankfully they did enough.

 

[CuseJacket]

IMO

Our defensive performance was as good as last week's.

Our offensive performance was as poor as last week's (thank goodness for no picks).

Difference? Special teams (and turnovers).

 

[Bamajacket]

Gritty effort, big win!!!

 

[CEB]

The only negative I have....
Pitt was a top 25 team. If we had played at our usual noon slot I could’ve watched that score on the scroll for 8+ hours.
