Pitt Postgame

[Technut1990]

Is there anyone on this board that can try to explain the mystery of replacing Wells ? I’m at a complete loss how a guy who didn’t miss at all last year gets replaced by the one who did.

Did you see his kickoff attempt yesterday and his missed XP earlier in the season? Watched him in warmups? Wells is simply not right at all presently, whether it is an injury or something else. They arent sitting him for no reason.

I read he’s been kicking very poorly in practice and warmups. I still don’t understand benching him until he actually missed one in a game first though. I mean at least make him miss ONE.

A few games back I read numerous times on this site that GT shouldn't be expected to win, much less compete b/c they were fielding a roster with FCS level talent.

After the Miami win, I read how GT ran all over Miami, and how their defense was LEGIT, especially the run D...

Today, we lose to Pitt & now it appears the OL sucks again from reading this site.....

What should I expect next week??

This one is easy. Expect us to be bad. If the other team is worse (a la Miami) we might have a chance. If the other team is slightly below average or bettter, we will lose.

He needs reps and work hard on his short and immediate accuracy.

My son's comments were that for the next week they should bedoing nothing but practicing 7-yard slant and 5-yard out patterns.

Right now we’re competitive against more undisciplined & more poorly coached teams. If the other team is solid in these 2 areas, we’re in trouble.

 

[Jim Prather]

Sounded like a guy who has been preaching the same thing over and over again and people aren't understanding. Not to mention he then agreed with a part of Kelly's statements after he corrected him.

Gee, where have I heard complaints like this about a coach before....

He missed an xp. Something isn't right with him. As hit or miss as King has been, Wells would absolutely be getting chances if they had reason to believe he could do it better. Could be an undisclosed injury.

I thought they were very competitive against Pitt. Pitt is a very solid team.

Question , I hear a few

Here's the 2020 College Football Transfer Portal

https://247sports.com/Season/2020-Football/TransferPortal/

Logan Tyler

Brandon Ruiz

Adam Stack

other than Tashard Choice has any transfer worked out for Tech ?

 

[Jim Prather]

Anthony Allen was pretty good.

 

[GT_EE78]

did anyone ever determine where our DB went after the first interception? I noticed that he just kept on running past the team and the camera didn't follow ....

forgot about him thanks any others?

How so? Where am I off?

I respect your opinion and It’s possible you are correct. But at this point I’m not ready to make a final judgment on a guy for whom you haven’t seen very good OL protection and whose receivers are either very young or have played in an offense the last few years where they didn’t expect to get the ball much and it takes time to undo old habits (absolutely not meant as a criticism of the previous offense at all).

Certainly they looked bad yesterday and didn’t even show flashes that indicated a potential positive future. But we have seen flashes like that in a few of the prior games so I’m not ready, yet, to say James can’t be the guy. But like I said at the very start of my response it’s entirely possible you’re 100% correct. I’m just personally not ready to make that final call in my own head.

One was unacceptable, but on the other one Pitt substituted and the Center judge didn't stay over the ball. I about threw the remote through the TV and Collins was pissed too.

I gotcha, I didn’t notice the Pitt substitution. That’s my bad.

Redshirt rules have an effect on his decision, and also he may not be ready (I know, he shouldn't have burned a game just to use him as a holder).

He wasn't the holder. He tried what appeared to be a run pass roll out to the right and got smothered by the Duke D. JG had to come out for the 2 point try. We were like 3 touchdowns behind at that time so why not get the point with a kick. Instead we put in a freshman who had not played a down all year for one play. It was a dumb call. Take the point and worry about a 2 point try if you can get a couple more TD's.

zero reason to go down this path.

I literally could not agree more with this post!! Well said!!!

I agree it was a dumb move, and mystifying. No rhyme or reason to it.

The player that later was the RB for the Packers. Pretty sure he was a transfer. Last name may have started with an L. Not Lavette.
