Brilliant move, and probably gave us our best chance to win the game, but I'm not so sure it's a good idea to reveal our tactics. Maybe it would have been better to have left unsaid...

I'm not so sure this is "our" tactic. It's a pretty common approach across football. CPJ almost used to come back against UGA in 2010 but the offense couldn't go down to score at the end. I'm just glad our guys knew about it and Smothers didn't.

When our offense was really rolling it was because we had a "triple option". Haynes King is still a great thrower of the football so teams had to prepare for his legs and his arms, which freed up the rushing lanes for Jamal. He doesn't possess that threat anymore so the rushing lanes are not open for Jamal. We saw that last night. In order for us to be successful we need Philo to command the offense which include the zone reads. Philo grew up a lot last night and I think with his new found confidence he will be even better against Georgia.

He certanly did, but outside of that last drive we didnt score a offensive TD with him at the helm. let that sink in . 3 FG's 1 defensive score . 1 King Run that was basiclly another Defensive score. I love Philo He's Gonna be a stud and that was a awesome moment . But let's be realistic about what really happened on the field last night and not slaves to the moment .
Haynes Said he belives He'll be ready next week . if He's 80% of the player he's been for us in the past That's better than Philo

"Philo will be a baller' as per Haynes King
2023
At this time last year
Gt was 7-4 w crazy losses to BC and some crummy team. Our defense was a joke - no one passed because run defnse was ranked 100 plus. We had to score.
At start of year we were predicted to be 14 as was( who is this guy) Haynes King
With horrid defense we ended up 4th and Haynes was near the top w approx 2750 pass and 750 rush but with 8 int in 2 losses.
2024
Gt is 7-4 and ranked 4th in ACC King was healthy in defeat to S cuse but had 350 yds offense and no int; In L to Louisville he had 390 yds offense and no int. Scuse and L are 5 th and 6th.

We won 3 acc games but King was injured in UNC at end.


Against ND we were 3-2 but King did not play Pyron played and got 340 yds but 2 int. ND is a top team and the soundly whipped us.

Against Vt King did not play but pyron and philo got 290 yds but had 2 int. Vt is 11th in ACC.

MIAMI AND Vt our defense won the game. Miami was poorly prepared and king could run.

NCST was well prepared but when Key unleashed Philo to throw long we were back to 2023 style when king would air it out.
At end philo balled out
HE SEEMS TO SEE THE FIELD.

Vt came back and almost one on long fg. Vt lost and is now 14th in conference.

Beating the 14th ranked acc team by 1 point is not impressive.

What is impressive is we did open up the offense for Philo. We need to find that switch more often

Philo needs to be on wide open agsinst uga. King will need a miraculous physical IMPROVEMENT by next friday if he is going to SUPRISE UGA. I say give the game to Philo

AND the kid passed for what was probably the best pass play of yr for Tech--3rd down and 17. Philo scrambles and then runs LEFT ,pauses and RIPS a ball downfield right to the former-walkon WR at the yard marker.UNREAL.
Mahomes would have been proud.

The strategist in me says fall down before the score and kick the extra point length fg, but then you think - what if something happens. If you are ahead it is a no brainer, different story if you are behind.

I do recall one game (don't remember what it was), where GT was going to kick a FG - but on third down. Snap was bobbled but GT landed on it, they were then able to set up again and kick on 4th down and made it for the win. Of course to do that you have to have a TO in your pocket and leave enough time so if something does go wrong the clock doesn't run out on you.

That game was I believe vs uga with O'leary.We won that day. SMART man.

Your bias is noted. It was a good play by the NCST defender on Haynes on the release. It was not a hold. He was in the backfield so he is fair game to be hit.

Singleton clearly pushed off on the long reception down the left sideline, college lets defenders and receivers get away with a lot.

How the Targeting call was reversed is still a mystery to me. GT fans would have gone ballistic had it been our player with the ball and an NCST player doing the Targeting had the call been reversed.

The officials were fairly decent last night!

Happened twice against Miami where people thought it was targeting and it wasn't. The targeting rule has changed.

Haynes King's quote from the AJC article after the NCS win.

“My shoulder’s been getting better and better, which allowed me to come out here and throw a couple passes, stuff like that. But, just take it day by day and keep doing rehab treatment, getting it better. It’s a high percentage for me to come in next week and ball out, be more of a passer and passing threat.”

If you're feeling pumped about the NCST win, consider keeping the vibes going at McCamish tomorrow at 2pm against #18 Cincinnati. If this convinces at least one of you to join us for the post-game court storming, this post will have been justified. You can get in the door for as low as $16 after fees on SeatGeek right now.

I'm surprised that Fusile graded out decently. I made a point to watch the left side of our line and saw regular penetration getting into the backfield. This team has heart and grit and it can be challenging to hang in there with them while they compete, but this team is so much better than the product of the previous coach. I expect internal competition will make us even better next year. Go JACKETS!
To hell with georgia.

Techwood Relic, you may be looking at my inaccurate post where I picked up some incorrect info which was apparently from last year where Fusile was graded at 85.5.

I corrected at 6:40 PM above. Fusile graded at 67.3 in the game last night as shown in the correct SI article above. Sorry for my error.
