We can now play Yates the last 4 games of the season. Oops, I meant last 3 games of the season because we put him in for an extra point.the only person on this team recruited to be a P5 QB was Yates. You have to remember that. I think some people got suckered in by the spring game or something but it was always going to be a rough year at that position and there was no point in wasting a year of yates throwing him to the dogs
No offense but are you comparing Dave Patenaude to Steve Spurrier? The hall of fame coach that brought the “fun n”gun” to big time football? 9 time conference coach of the year?Steve Spurrier won the ACC championship at Duke with an out manned team (actually tied with UVA). His OC was Barry Wilson who inherited the team as head coach, used the same play book and had a terrible losing record. There is an art to play calling and when Spurrier left it exposed mediocre coaching with the same talent.
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.A few did. Most of us didn't before the O-line injuries. Still waiting for someone to reveal the offensive game plan that requires no blocking.
Don’t know why Graham went back out again, seems like we did better without him. The fumble into the end zone took all the air out of us.
What should I expect next week??
I was pointing out that there is more to being successful than just what's in the play book. It's when you call the right plays at the right time. Spurrier was great and he instilled a winning confidence in his players. Even at Duke.No offense but are you comparing Dave Patenaude to Steve Spurrier?

I’m with you that he may not be what we need long term, but that’s a high bar to jump over.
Hire a new OC too.Tough loss. Recruit recruit recruit.
your defense gave up a total of 30 yds until then. You kick and get a stop with your timeouts
From what I've heard, Pitt has a really good defense. So, a poor offense with a first year QB looking worse than they have in other games is not a surprise to me. Disappointing, yes. A surprise, no.
Understanding this one is pretty easy. When you get outplayed on both LOS and your QB isn't accurate enough or poised enough to make the plays he could make to make up for that you are going to get beat.
Hard to take when you get all the TOs we got but understandable.
I don’t see how anyone can say Graham had a bad game. Half the time he went back to pass he had the offensive lineman’s butt hitting him because Pitts defensive line was pushing us all over the field. If you say Graham had a bad game then you must also think Mason had a bad game because he was getting hit immediately after the hand off. The ACC better get their licks in now because these OLinemen we have committed aren’t going to get pushed backwards by any Coastal teams. Collins is doing exactly what he was hired to do - upgrade our talent. As for Patenaude, I’m seeing all kinds of formations, pre-snap movement, and a nice first year playbook. We simply don’t have an offensive line that will make it work this year. But, the process is there and we are coming. I hope y’all give Collins credit when the time comes.
I don't know that we got outplayed on the DL. I was impressed with that unit, and the whole defense.

Was he taken out after that? Because I agree 100%. Carpenter also had bad leverage/angle at S on that play.A love our players but you are going to play hurt, then have to leave it on the field and not play scared
Charlie Thomas trying time take on a block without using his hurt shoulder is something you can’t do. This was a back breaker
