Finally saw some of Buster’s creativity on offense this week. What a great job, and a total team effort. King and Philo platooning at QB, the entire RB room pitching in, Singleton, Rutherford, Lane, and Stockton all had huge plays at WR, and of course the OL and TEs lead the way for 271 yards on the ground. Absolute definition of “next man up” and everybody played hard and contributed their part. Miami was totally unprepared for all of the different looks we threw at them today, and our offense looked a lot more like the team that ended the season last year instead of the one we’ve seen most of this season.
Santucci’s defense had 3 sacks and didn’t allow Ward to escape the pocket and make plays. There were lots of plays they didn’t quite get him to the ground but forced him to throw the ball away or make a poor throw. The secondary had downfield receivers covered up pretty well, and made some huge open field tackles.
Tech legitimately looked like the better team today. Hopefully this win propels the program forward in a big way. Most of our losses this year are to teams with similar talent, and games we shoulda/coulda/woulda won with some better execution and luck. It’s exciting watching so many young players make plays all over the field, and I really hope we keep them out of the portal this offseason. We’ve got a chance to finish this year with some special wins, and next year could really be special
