Nice to see the D get some sacks and turnovers. Offensively, Marshall took some big hits. The O-line didn't play well. Marshall did well on his throws and made good decisions with ball. No turnovers today. The kicking game looked better besides the missed PAT. Attendance was a little disappointing. JSU's band was fantastic.

+1 on the items in bold (not that the other comments aren't god ).
Where in the world was everyone? Granted many seats were sold, but a lot of empty seats.
Their band was very good.

Was that not Ted Roof on the side line? If not, who was getting into the players faces?

He was in the booth.

Probably like us. Getting ready for Irma. First time I have relaxed in three days, when I sat down and watched the game.

Announced attendance was 50,161.

Definitely seats paid or given away, no way that many were in the stands.

Defense helped pull the game out of the fire with the interception just before the half, and then 2 more in the 3rd. The O capitlaized to make it a bit easier infor GT fans in the stands and those watching and listening.
JSU's defense did a very good job against us most of the day. Howard's but through the middle was great, some very good blocking to spring him to the 2nd level and beyond !

CPJ laid into Benson coming off the field then put in Quaide. What was that all about?

In the presser CPJ said something like "you can't creep up to the line and then slide sideways looking for a hole. J Howard will hit it hard up in there". Sounded like he was talking about the BB.

The D could not stop JSU duringthat lllooonnnggg first half drive that they scored. So frustrating.

QW and KB will be getting an earful this week.

Yep, ours too. Hope Orlando weathers the storm. We have family there.

Truth is truth. Nothing negative. Just a realist. I have every right to have an opinion. So, leave me alone. If you don't like what I have to say, just ignore it. I could really care less.

Truth is they scored 7 points in the first half and our offense did Zero to help. If they were as bad as you think, we should have lost. What do you expect? For them to get your approval do they have to give up zero points and zero yards?

No. He'll complain that Roof's defense didn't hold them to negative yards and negative points.

Jax state is a solid team - writeup from 2015 Auburn game below. They outplayed and out gained Auburn but lost in OT.

AUBURN – Most of the sellout crowd at Jordan-Hare Stadium assumed they were coming to watch No. 6 Auburn cruise to an easy win over an FCS opponent and see the debut of Jordan-Hare Stadium's $13 million video board.

What they witnessed came close to being one of the biggest upsets in college football history.

Jacksonville State (1-1), No. 5 in FCS but a five-touchdown underdog, led by a touchdown with less than a minute remaining. Auburn tied the score with 39 seconds in regulation, then scored on its first possession in overtime to claim a 27-20 victory on Saturday in the first meeting between the state schools. Jacksonville State led 10-6 at halftime and dominated the Tigers (2-0) in every phase, leaving the capacity crowd of 87,451 stunned.

I think next week will be much more like the Tennessee game for the offense. Can you imagine preparing for a huge spotlight game Monday and another game Saturday? Ridiculous imo, should not have been scheduled this way. 96 plays definitely affected the O's performance today. Proud of the way the team turned it around after a bad start.

 

[Tech93]

Think we have a pretty good team. Feel like CPJ really likes Howard. We will have 2 good BBs in he and Benson. D will have to create turnovers throughout the season for us to have a good year.

 

[awbuzz]

Probably like us. Getting ready for Irma. First time I have relaxed in three days, when I sat down and watched the game.

Good luck with the preparation and hope it's all for naught.

 

[Captain killem]

If our defense pitched a shutout some would still come on here and ***** and complain

 

[Sideways]

2 games in I have 2 main take aways from this team.

If we're on 100% our offense can score on anyone anytime.

If not we can be beat by anyone anytime.

Well, this has been a cherished Tech tradition since Coach Johnson got here. Win a couple you have no business winning and lose maybe one that you have no business losing. It is what it is.

 

[jacket_fan]

This game reminds me of games where Tech was an underdog, comes in and plays well initially. The adrenaline wears off. And the better team pulls away.

JSU looked to be a well coached team with some talented athletes.

I was impressed that the defense stepped it up and hope the improvement continues.

And happy to see redemption in place kicking.
