[QUOTE="SecretAgentBuzz, post: 972574, member: 253"] Guys, where are all the comments? The BC postgame thread had 19 pages! Come on, GT fans! (its as if some of y'all only like to complain!) Here are some thoughts on an incredible game: The Good: -We are playing tough, smart football. I no longer watch our team and say, "What are you doing?????" This makes the experience, win or lose, so much better for me. Now, of course, tough, smart football is usually going to lead to more wins, so that helps. But I can see a real difference between this team and the previous years. There is a gameplan, there are few mental mistakes, and there is a general common sense to coaching decisions. Praise God! -Our offense is really rolling in a way I haven't seen since 2014. The difference this time is, though, that we are balanced. The progress that the OLine has made (and the running game in general) has been spectacular. We block hard, run hard, fight for yards, and make teams pay for their mistakes. This, coupled with a few quality receivers who can get separation and a QB who is playing on a high level has led to an offense that is punishing other teams. Do you realize that Haynes King hit 77% of his passes with multiple dropped passes? UVA has a good defense, and we destroyed them over and over. Props to Key, Faulkner, Weinke, Wade, and all the offensive coaches. -The defense did their job. We had an immediate advantage when their QB went down, but they still had to get the job done. Even through injuries, guys did their jobs, made plays, and limited UVA to only 350 yards. They are still the weak link in our team, but I see improvement, particularly.... -Kyle Efford. This dude had 10 tackles. He was flying all over the place, taking good angles, and meeting the ball carrier with aggression. Some other LBs have disappointed this year, but he has come along nicely. Props to #44. -Special teams are looking better, too. Besides one longish kick return, there were no big brain farts or obvious screw-ups. Birr has been a revelation, and I no longer go into cold sweats when the FG unit comes on the field. The Bad: -We had a few too many penalties. The facemask penalty was a huge one. -There were some surprising drops from our receivers. -The aforementioned long kickoff return. The ugly: -Pyron throwing the ball on third down at the end. Just run north/south and let the clock expire. Best all-around game from the team in many years. We just beat an ACC team on the road so badly that our second-team was in for the last 7 minutes of the 4th quarter. That's very, very good. This was, in my opinion, as big a win as both the Miami and UNC wins. Those were better teams, but this was a blowout against an ACC team that (let's be honest) we were sure we would beat. [/QUOTE]
