#Postgame GT 9 - UVA 16

[Sean311]

One of the worst GT games I have ever seen. Jeff Sims leaving was a monumental blow. Defense played great.

At least now we can have a real conversation about the new HC without people talking about Coach Key

Bye Key.

Take Gibson’s scholarship. Didn’t even try to win.

Defense played well.

UVA 16 - GT 9.

Yeeesh.

 

[Spalding Jacket]

Defense gets a W in my book, can Thacker coach O?

 

[jeffgt14]

Gibson was absolutely clueless out there. Despite all that, we had a chance and a good throw only for utter stupidity to occur not being lined up correctly.

What bothered me was not just the score, but the reversion to mistakes and penalties at key times.
This reminded me of the team that started 1-3.
I guess no rainbows and unicorns for us. Or Key.

 

[Ramble1885]

Look yall. I’m upset but this team still has potential. Just gotta clean some **** up, hope sims is okay.

 

[SilverFox81]

Losing Sims hurt. How do we not have a legit backup QB ? Or did we play the wrong one? Because that was elementary bad. Our D played their hearts out ! Just ugly.

 

[GT_05]

I was tired of winning anyway.

 

[InsideLB]

Illegal touching penalty was a killer. Gotta line up right.

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

D played great. We have no O without a mobile QB. O line, owned by BK, is still terrible. Key should not be our new HC. We need a brilliant O mind running the offense.

Let’s be real on this though, we got absolutely screwed by the refs tonight. Even the TV announcers were dumbfounded by their ridiculous non-calls. Now for sure Gibson and the offense didn’t do us any favors, but they weren’t getting any calls either. I mean, how many times do you see offensive face mask get called even when it’s blatant?

GT football was unwatchable again tonight

Even with Sims in he wasn't running downhill. Clearly ankle was already an issue.

Makes me even madder about the Duke game. No phantom roughing the passer and Duke doesn't send it into OT. No OT and Sims doesn't get hurt.

 

[InsideLB]

Felt bad for Chip Long. He had some very reasonable stuff he tried to run and we couldn't execute. Only critique of his was not trying earlier to get the ball out Chip's hands faster a la the last drive.

I don't understand this. We are talent shy on offense, particularly without Sims.

But the players play hard. People are in the right place. The play calls make sense. The strategy makes sense. The sideline decisions are solid. The ST have been cleaned up.

What I'm saying is the coaches are doing a good job with what they have. We look competent for 3 games in a row, which was at least a season's worth for the prior HC.

Tonight's game reminded me of a couple of the early games in O'Leary's regime. We lost, but you could see the coaches were coaching well but we were missing key pieces. That's what I see here. There's nothing that says Key and Co. aren't doing a good job of pulling this thing as far out of the ditch as humanly possible.

A G5 qb showed he wasn’t ready for the P5 stage.

I remember when Taison Pumachu (I know it’s wrong) “added competition to the qb room” and I remember the last two weeks Tech was winning.

I remember being happy.
