Nc State Postgame

[78pike]

The true freshman no one is talking about is Harrison Moore..... He has played OT, OG and TE....last night he was in for 32 plays!!!!!
.....I have no idea if #10 or #12 starts next year at QB but #52 will be starting somewhere up front for us in '25...and '26...and '27......

I also noticed MacKenney played a lot as well. Someone had mentioned in a thread earlier this year that it was strange he hadn't played at all after playing so much last year. Good to see him back in there. But it made me wonder who he replaced on the line and why. Was there an injury that put him in the lineup?

Seriously, I was thinking when he dropped the Easter egg grass that he might be over thinking it. What the wind is doing at the 50 yard line is different from what it’s doing at the 30 or in the end zone. The ball trajectory on a kick like that starts off low and by the time it rises to where the wind might be gusting you are starting to get sheltering from the stands.

But I might be overthinking this too.

It was a great effort and he could just as easily have made it as missed it.

There are ribbons on the top of the Goal posts that show the direction and relative strength of the win thus negating the need for State's kicker to toss the ribbon in the air. You would think that being a kicker he would realize that. I would think those ribbons would be a better indicator than dropping the Easter egg grass at midfield.

I can tell you don’t play golf. Golfers can see the flag but will also throw grass where they stand. There can be difference results at times in terms of direction and velocity. Believe it or not.

I do that just to look good. It makes no difference for the shot.

LOL. i did it just to find out which trap or OB I was going to play from.

I play golf but the wind is the least of my worries when I'm about to hit the ball!

The dirt is my biggest worry, aside from the ball itself.

Tough crowd! For me, I see continued good offensive performance, and taking into account the injuries I think the O coaches are doing a good job. Defense is not good yet, but we moved from bad to mediocre, and we’ve been improving as the year progresses. I also feel like the D is just more prepared and decisive in games, so I’m seeing an impact from Santucci.

I was talking about the NC State game specifically. Overall, I think they’ve both done good.

 

[Root4GT]

We are a good team and if we had been 100% healthy all season, we’d probably have 10 wins, not 9. Winners find ways to win and without the injuries, those close games wouldn’t have been close and we would have won others.

Such crap. Every team has many injuries. They are part of football.

If we scored every possession we would be undefeated.

We are 7-4. Hypothetical projections are full of - you know the word!!

 

[Augusta_Jacket]

How many games did Texas starting QB miss, as many as ours has.

Not sure Arch Manning hurt Texas by starting. He'd probably be a starter at almost any other school right now.

 

[cpf2001]

Luckily for Texas Ewers missed UTSA, UL Monroe, and Miss St. Their defense allowed a total of 23 points in those 3 anyway.

What I would give for (a) King to have missed a string of games against competition like that and (b) him to be back and full strength after just three games.

I know you've seen King (not) throw the ball more than 10 yards recently, Root. Compare that with what Ewers has been doing since his missed games.

Now let's look at other teams in the top 25 and how many games their starting QB was unable to throw the ball in!

GT’s performance has been hampered by QB injuries more than most teams this year. I still believe, as stated earlier, that many of the currently ranked teams would have additional losses if they had experienced equivalent QB injuries. I gave Miami as an example, and Root gave Texas as a counterexample.

I can give another counterexample because I saw Jaxson Dart’s backup go in for a series in the Ole Miss-uga game and he played very well. But there are other examples of teams that have been carried by their starting QB who likely would not fare nearly as well with their 3rd-string.

This is all beside the point, though, because the real issue under debate is whether or not our record would be better if we had been healthy all season, particularly at the quarterback position. Given our outstanding defensive performance, I think we might have won the VT game, but we probably still lose the others, all else being equal. So, the best-case scenario would be 8-3.

Bottom line… you are what you are.

Didnt CPJ always say you are what your record says you are?

We would’ve won the VT game.

Acc #5 Syracuse whose qb has taken every snap has played 1 tough team so far. That team is 4th in acc. That team is Acc #4 Gt. Lets swap qb health and see if we are #3 and they are #7. We played and beat Miami with Qb by committee. Next week let's see them play Miami with an injured qb.

It all boils down to this- stop losing and just win.

 

[techman]

I'm a tech grad (ME '84) and big tech fan and UGA hater (despise them). All that being said, is there any rational reason why we can expect to win? I realistically expect UGA to embarrass us (beat us by more than 4 TDs). Offensively, we seem to be near awful and so expect UGA to beat the brakes off of us next Saturday in Athens. Am I missing something? Is there any rational reason to really expect Tech to win?

Yeah because UGA has beaten all lesser competition this year by 4 touchdowns. They have been so impressive with their 3 point win over Kentucky and tied in the 4th against UF with a 3rd string walk on from Yale playing. Probably the dumbest post all year I don’t believe you went to Tech

lol ! Do we follow the same GT team?

 

[GT33]

Like Texas when Ewers was out 2+ games and Arch Manning came as his backup.

UTSA, ULM and 2-8 Miss St, wow, that’s tough to deliver against those juggernaughts.
