-may be the most unbelievable ending to a tech football game I’ve seen my 30+ years being a fan.
-the defensive tackling was dramatically improved, it has to be effort seeing there’s no way the scheme could change that much in one week, so I credit the guys for taking pride in tackling this week
-I still can’t get over the play calling by BF on that 2nd and 2 after the pick, king saved his *** tonight coming back and winning
-cristoball better hire security from the 7 Miami fans tonight

The way I see it, down or not, how do you allow a team to go 70+ yards for a touchdown in 24 seconds? GT earned that win!!!

It is funny how "that happens" to Miami seemingly every year when "Duh U is back" talk begins. Looking at the film of the last 30 seconds, it would appear that the Miami running back was stripped of the ball and the Miami secondary was asleep in true Cane fashion two plays in a row. King deserves credit for finding that receiver running across the field with two defenders beaten pretty badly. There was no luck or fluke plays involved just boneheaded coaching by Miami and never say die spirit from a Tech team left for dead by many of its own fans, including me.

When Miami was driving up 20-17 and we used our last timeout, Miami has a 99.9% chance to win per ESPN. When we got the ball after the fumble, it was still a 99.9% chance of Miami winning. 26 seconds later, Tech is 100% winning!

This win doesn't even feel real. I was about 10 seconds away from turning it off up until that fumble. Any other weekend I would've stopped watching in the last two minutes but the football gods told me to hang on. And I'm so glad I did.

First off, the D tackled so much better tonight. It kept us in the game. Secondary had some blown coverages but some great picks. Linebackers were 50/50. They were either standing there waiting for contact (still) or they made plays. Moala finally has some good moments. D line played the run well sometimes.

Secondly, offense struggled but did just enough. Jamal Haynes bullied his way in the endzone through 3 defenders. And HK had a nice TD scramble to get us started. And that last drive. Holy hell. What a catch by Rutherford. And then Leary finally making an impact with the Miracle At Hard Rock TD catch.

Hope we use this bye week to form a new identity. LETS GOOO. GO JACKETS

"...from the 7 Miami fans tonight." Was Hard Rock pretty empty? I could not get the game.

Their coach is dummy for sure but we got the ball on our 25 with no timeouts, and hit a couple of big plays.

The odds against that last drive had to be a million to one.

The team earned that.

In a way, it kind of reminded me of what Doug Flutie did against Miami in completing that last second pass to upset a highly ranked Miami team.
