We did a good job of containing their inside running game but got hurt on reverse plays and especially hurt on screens.Honestly? Both.

i witnessed the eagles run outta gas last week in raleigh. tough to watch. i figured they'd leave a gouge on sav st. tonight after last week's disappointing loss to state that never should have happened. left tonight's game at paulson at the beginning of the 4th. i think fritz had suited up the SHS JV squad to take the field by then. good thing about beating them so badly is we didn't have to hear their annoying band play all night.I'm illiterate.
Interested in seeing what their new Head Coach has done with that offense. Gave NC State a scare last week, and put up 80+ on a crappy team this week. FWIW, NC State beat Old Dominion 46-34 this week and trailed 21-18 at the half.

i told the state fans around me last week they were gonna be in for another tough game this week versus ODU. their QB is one of the best QBs i've ever seen play live. kid's friggin' dynamite. if he'd been a few inches taller outta HS he'd have been big time on the FBS radar.
gonna be strange next week to be at bobby dodd to watch my two teams play each other.

Saw that GSU passed like 4 times all game...only 2 passes by the starter?
How do you like that new offense so far?

i'd have to agree. i went over and checked the NC state forum and they're beating their D up over the game but hardly giving any props to the fact that ODU has an incredible QB. i did see one post where a state fan tried to reality check the others and mention how good heinicke is, but they just don't want to see it. he put on one of the most deadly accurate, ice-water-in-the-veins passing exhibitions i've witnessed in a game. southern won in a shootout 55-48. neither D had a prayer. they couldn't stop the option and we couldn't stop him!Taylor Heinicke (ODU QB) is from my high school. The guy is an absolute stud. I have a good feeling we'll see his name called in the 2015 draft
I agree. It was even said at one point that Days was the back up quarterback last year. That was really misleading and neglected the fact that it has been several seasons since he was really considered more than a "wild cat" type under center. Very shallow reporting.I absolutely hated the color commentary. To me, the guy sounded like he copied someone else's notes from last year instead of doing his real homework. Based on his comments, I doubt he watched Tech's game last week.
Seriously, he probably has known for months that he was doing this game. You'd think he'd do some research on the team. If he'd spent a day reading through old GTSwarm threads he would have sounded so much smarter than he did. It's amazing how much of a gold mine this site would be to a non-connected color guy. There are tons of nuggets on this site.
CPJ said in the post-game presser (@2:11 mark) that we needed to value the ball more and that we can't throw it falling down off the back foot.Did anybody comment on the super weird play at the end of the 3rd quarter, where the horn blew, and half the players stopped, and Justin threw an interception into double coverage?
Why people don't turn down the volume and listen to the radio call on any football game is beyond me!I agree. It was even said at one point that Days was the back up quarterback last year.

the new O still has flashes of the old one. yes, it's outta the gun but still a good bit of option. southern has speed to burn at all O skill positions and a very seasoned OL who've played together for years. big, big strength of the team. breida is the starting RB. speedster. if he gets to the 2nd level he's a threat to go the distance with a hint of daylight. a number of solid receiving targets underutilized when monken was at the helm are getting to show their true talent with fritz onboard. this O will put up a lot of points this season if they stay healthy.
the big question mark is going to be depth of the D. it bit the eagles in the butt versus NC state. i've been to some scorching games but that was one of the hottest contests i've ever sat through. ZERO breeze and every bit of 100+ temps at field level. you've gotta be able to sub in fresh DL on days like that.

Yep. Had a good shoot. Ours was cloudy and cool (for opening day) and the birds were there.Thanks for update. I was sweating my butt off in the dove field. Please give me more!!!
Savannah State. They always put up 70+ against them. Sav. State is awful.They put up 83 points against Lamar today.

I stand by every word of it. Nothing has changed in my eyes, other than, hopefully, the kid learning a couple lessons.It's your fault JT struggled you know with all that sunshine you blew up his backside.
