POSTGAME #GTvsVT GT 28-VT 27

He reminds me of the UVA QB with the weird throwing motion. Given that comparison and the Tebow comparison earlier ITT, it's not the end of the world, but those passes to the sidelines seem to hang in the air for a long time to only come away with a short completion and his arm angle will lead to more tipped passes at the

Can we just enjoy a great win by a brand my new QB who brought us back from the brink of defeat by showing incredible poise and toughness in the 4th quarter on the road in his first start? Tech fans are a tough crowd to please which is amazing given what we have had to endure the past three seasons. I for one am celebrating for a change.

Yep. Some of the posters remind me of some of the posters from the CPJ days. If XYZ beat us it’s because we suck. If we beat XYZ, it’s only because they suck and I still want to be miserable. Yes, we only have 4 wins so far, but it’s been 4 years since we could say that. I’m going to have another beer and enjoy football life for at least another week.

Our OL vs Ugag's DL - yikes

ESPN may need to put up a “not safe work work” notice prior to that game

It was a 1 pt win over a 2-7 Virginia Tech team. I think my original post was adequately celebratory and have subsequently responded to posts critiquing my take and should be read in the full context of the conversation, not cherry picked.

Our OL vs Ugag's DL - yikes

It won't be pretty

 

[Dress2Jacket]

That TD run in the 4th quarter reminded me of John Dewberry's TD run against UGA back in 1984.

This makes me happy. I was at the Cesspool that day.

 

[Spalding Jacket]

Pyron kid reminds me of Matthew Jordan. Got lots of grit. Remember when Jordan started for the first time and at VT for that matter and won us the game?

Matthew Jordan, Tobias Oliver and now Zach Pyron all GT Qbs making their first collegiate starts against VT in Lane Stadium… think I know what our secret recipe is to beating VT.

 

[Techastrophe]

Completely made up numbers.
7-5: 1.8%
6-6: 23.8%
5-7: 49.2%
4-8: 25.2%

The 1.8% chance of going 7-5 seems wildly exuberant, but we've got a shot at 6-6.

A lot of over reaction here, but I’m glad we got the dub. Pyron making good decisions. I thought it was funny when he ran it in. It’s almost like he was tired of the bad play calling and said F it I’m gonna do it my self. If we hand the ball off more to our RBs the game would’ve been over in the 3rd. Chip Long has no feel for the game. Way too many pass plays. Good running qb and good running backs. Nate is a good slot guy but we act like we have 3 stud WRs to run an Air Raid.

Happy for the win. Go Jackets!

On Pyron’s TD run he used the ref as a blocker against VT’s #4 linebacker to help get the score. Pretty nifty of him.

 

[Spalding Jacket]

Definitely right choice by Sickos Committee for game of the week, this game had more ups and downs than a yo-yo.

 

[SilverFox81]

Heck of a comeback. That Pyron kid is the real deal. Going to be fun watching him grow. Let's get two more wins and go bowling!

point made though

No, they didn’t make the point. Which was the whole point.

(Who’s on first?)

 

[yeti92]

Can you imagine the high for Pyron, in his first start as a true freshmen, to go on the road against a conference opponent and come from being down 11, and score the game winning TD, and then get to end it all in victory formation?

4 wins.
Last one on a gut check after we gave worst special team in football a td return.

.

yep on the punt ret--everybody was giddy over the new guy came up with a plan not to get blocked-- whoopTdo--DOZENS of teams give protection AND don't allow TD returns.
Some of this is not recruiting LBs who should be the heart of your kick teams.

The idea that we need line men as a shild for punter is well, ludicrous. U get the punt of - then here they come!
