Nc State Postgame

[whiskeyClear]

A win is a win! Guaranteed winning season. First time to have back to back winning seasons in ten years. Back to back bowl games in ten years. Undefeated at home for the first time in TWENTY FIVE YEARS.

I'll talk about what to fix tomorrow. To hell with georgia!

The TO on the goal line, 1st and goal was ****ing awful. Like this gt D is the 85 bears and they are going to Bo up and stop them 4 times in a row. Love the win, but cbk gotta work on TO usage.

I’d consider that one a drop by Singleton. I think our receivers need an offseason of Philo to get used to his rockets

 

[Heisman's Ghost]

Yes but they also let their qb run at will...gave points right back

I do not understand college coaches. They will roll out that three rush 8 defend defense every time with the game on the line and consistently get burned. This time, State did it and Philo said thank you and ran practically untouched until he got near the end zone. Then Tech, not to be outdone, does the same thing and was very fortunate that the State kicker just missed a 58 yard field goal for the win. About the only thing that "prevent defense" actually prevents is your team winning. State had great success rushing the passer and went away from it. I don't understand coaches sometimes.

Super pumped for this crazy win. Defense played horrible tonight especially tackling. However I can't believe how happy I am to have 7 wins going into the Dwags. I hope Haynes King is okay. I still have to wonder how this year would have looked had he been healthy. Go Jackets!

D played a great first half. They scored. The O didn’t.

4th quarter defense was bad. Good to very good up to that point. NCST had 200 yard offense thru 3 quarters. Then 200 in the 4th quarter. Very odd.

 

[Darthdad]

Another crazy game, cardiac Jackets!

Ah yes. The ESPN win probability %. I still have yet to see a game where they actually explain where they get these numbers from. Can't find it on their website either.

Their QB runs were against a 4 man or more rush when we were in man to man defense. They were not against a 3 man rush.

 

[MacScott]

Just left the stadium. Roller coaster of emotions. What a damn game.
Game balls to Philo and Height.

And Stockton appears to be a keeper!

 

[Root4GT]

Defense played pretty great for three quarters and atrocious for one quarter. Not sure how you evaluate that. Likewise, the offense played pretty atrocious for three quarters and made enough clutch plays in the last one.

Whatever. A win is a win. Beating a conference opponent without your starting QB healthy is never easy. 7 wins with two games left. 5-0 at home. We’re showing serious progress under Key in less than three full seasons as HC.

Amen!

I don't know but by god we do a pretty good job or beating it when it's at like 98-99%

4th quarter defense was bad. Good to very good up to that point. NCST had 200 yard offense thru 3 quarters. Then 200 in the 4th quarter. Very odd.

That may have been due to the effects of the physical Miami game and the inability of the offense to run the football and use up more time.

 

[Lexjacket]

30 is more than 29, it's a W.

friday

Gonna need another reminder next Thursday lol

 

[TechPhi97]

Philo is going to be good. If we can keep him.

Thanks Debbie Downer. Bet you’re a hit at the tailgate.

So crazy that we could not get any run going

 

[Silk3]

Singleton drops a lot of passes

 

[malak05]

Im not apologizing for anything. Do you personally think we played well tonight and we just had to fight hard to overcome a great performance by NC State? If so good for you. I simply disagree.

Ehh... I thought our OC/HC had a little identity crisis and we're stubborn about just handing keys over to Philo sooner AND the run blocking was pretty bad tonight overall. The defense done a lot of good things but too many big runs by QB as game went on but can't keep expecting them to bail you out forever we aren't that Defense just yet....Kudos to Birr too he kicked well tonight on a windy night

 

[mtodd30]

Singleton drops a lot of passes

As incredible of a talent he is, I always hold my breath when he’s targeted. Hopefully something he can work on this offseason

 

[WreckinGT]

Honestly, we should just move on from King and run with Philo. We really do risk losing him if we go the other route. Better to build with him at this point than risk losing him and hope King can stay healthy.

 

[Spalding Jacket]

Here’s another thing when NC State broke their last TD run, if their RB had dove inside the 10 they could have kicked a game winning last sec FG. Thankfully they must have turned off our Miami game film before Singleton’s last run.
