[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 73222, member: 944"] My concerns about this game were simple...both lines. I sat with a former GT player (from the Eddie Lee Ivery years), a starter on offense. As he kept saying, we *should* be so much better that we could tell Wofford where we were going to run the ball on each play, we still should have been able to gain 4 yards every time just based on our out sizing them by that much. That did not look like the case at all. Generally I was unimpressed by our O line blocking (although the center looked very good). Our D line worried me even more. On numerous plays, I watched as a D lineman got pushed back by Wofford's O line 2-3 yards. That *really* worries me. If Wofford's O line can block us that well, what about the D-1 teams we will be playing later? Offensively, I was thrilled, especially with our second half passing performance. JT was 8 x 8 in the 2nd half and ripped the Wofford D to shreds. I am willing to give him a pass for the first half. Our skill guys all looked solid to me. Smelter looks special to me. Golden will be fine in the return game once he gets the rust out of his system. Our D backs looked solid to me. However, as a traditionalist who thinks football is won and lost in the trenches, our weakness on both sides there yesterday makes me...worried. [/QUOTE]
