Nc State Postgame

[Natehosch]

Its the reality of the new world. Philo showed some good things tonight on a national stage. Other teams that need a QB are going to be giving him a call with a number in mind to gauge his interest. If he knows he is QB2 next year but can be QB1 elsewhere with some extra cash, he is going to consider it. I doubt Pyron stays after this season so you are possibly looking at King being QB1 coming off of an injury with basically true freshmen or an ok portal QB backing him up. Then King is gone. I would personally just jump to the future now with Philo and lock him up for 3-4 years.

He showed some good things but without our defense the offense only scored 14 points . King clearly gives us a better chance to win . But I think Buster has a lock on philo .

The OL gave great pass protection tonight. Kudos
Are we recruiting a punter? We need to.

They didn’t acknowledge him on the field I think he has one more year

He is a R-Jr.

Awesome win for the seniors!!! Philo is the real deal. My one complaint is he seems to put a little too much mustard on the 10 yard passes... Hawes drops a pass in his facemask cuz of too much zip.... Eric Singleton can't pull in a TD and it ricochets to a turnover in the end zone (which fortunately we got right back)... There was a pass or two in the VT game where we could have sustained some drives if he just took just a touch off on those short passes... That or our receivers need more stickum on their gloves.

If I can be fair that will come with maturity, but I'd rather have the zip than not

Find a way to win! Thats what we’ve been doing regardless of how the wins come…just win baby! I can’t wait to watch the whole game I had to go to bed after the first TD last night. Truck drivers have to get up early lol How sweet it is my friends, how sweet it is

We were running a splitzone concept that just wasn't working.

The majority of the runs were counter. They were bringing the motion end to seal the backside since teams have just been shooting the backside and getting into the backfield. I'll have to watch the game again, but from a first look there was little zone ran this game.

Man the tailwind behind that kick was scary.
Philo deserves a lot of credit on that winning drive. His runs did it.
But why was our running game mostly shutdown?

Why did our defense take the night off? We couldn't tackle anyone.

OL not pushing people around.

4th quarter off, but yeah

 

[stech81]

Getto watch the replay this morning, question is why did they keep adding 1 second to the clock twice?

You have to be kidding they only had about 8 minutes they didn't play well and understand they were responsible for 14 of our 30 points.

 

[GTRambler]

Our team was extremely lucky to win this game.

Philo’s late game-winning touchdown run reminded me of Josh Allen’s late game-winner against the Kansas City Chiefs last week.

 

[UgaBlows]

We so need a tall WR who can get open and go up and catch jump balls

 

[wvGT11]

That game was way closer that it should have been,
The two qb thing is only going to get us so far, when teams know what we're going to do when King is playing .
Philo is the real deal. Gotta keep him healthy for next week

A little worried about our injuries going into UGA, were really really banged up

Overall a good team win, but too close for comfort

I was watching at home (wanted to go but got sick this week unfortunately). The Bobby Dodd clock operator, who is a GT employee, was very liberal with clock stoppages on the final NCST drive with regards to when passes officially fell incomplete or players ran out of bounds. That is fairly standard home cooking in any college football game you watch. We weren’t able to sneak it by the official though.

King looks like he’s done except for maybe GL situations. He still has his legs. It’s painful to see him run off the field after a big hit, though.

I think Philo came of age last night. His tentative runs became authoritative. He was making more catchable throws at the end. His team leadership really blew up on that last drive. Guys were making plays for him. I think we’re OK.
