Postgame: UGA 31-GT 23

[Techwood Relict]

Looking forward to beating the brakes off some unsuspecting bowl team to finish with a winning record. Great culture improvement this year. It's fun to watch GT again.

I ****ing hate moral victories but I'll take competing over what we've seen the past few years any day.

King missed a lot of throws and that's what ultimately decided it. Hard to expect that level of perfection though.

Buster called a phenomenal game though.

Will Watch the misses in slow mo replay - last time the w r was stopped behind the under coversge on several occassions

Hate losing but can you imagine being an Auburn fan?

 

[wvGT11]

We're set up perfectly to win next year in Athens ...

That was brutal. Terrible call to only rush 2 and give the receivers all day to get open and for the qb to find them.

 

[Golden Tornadoes]

Proud is an understatement. Short of winning the game, this is exactly how CBK wanted us to play against ugag. Tough, physical, and flat out imposing our will in the run game. A play here or there turns this game into the upset of the year which is truly amazing to say. This is the game you want to play when you’ve got recruits in the building. If they can’t see the progress from last year and see that there was a significant chance all night to knock off the #1 team, then I don’t know how you could sell them to come to Tech. I think we will be seeing more impactful transfers and recruits after what they witnessed this year. This program is about to take off and I’m ready for the flight! GO JACKETS!! End the streak at 6 in their house!

Also, on defense we had a number WTF - whose covering the end run.
IF WE ARE GETTING GASHED WITHOUT BLITZING , THE WHY NOT BRING PRESSURE.
ITS DC SHOPPING TIME.

Loved the fg kicking.
Loved the grit.

Our running game was the most physical I’ve seen since CPJ. Great blocking. Great push by the OL. And our RBs were hitting their LBs hard. Clean up a few mistakes and we could have scored high 30s or even low 40s.

This game should help our chances of moving up to a better bowl

Them chanting UGA during one of our player injuries solidified just how Walmart they are. Hope we bust their lip next year

 

[WreckinGT]

No moral victories. With the talent disparity between our programs we really only have a chance when they play poorly in general or have multiple players out with injuries. We had both of those tonight and we blew it.

Definitely. Does Kmart still exist?

 

[wesgt123]

Im not done yet. I hate those mfers with every fiber of my being. F them all. Hate the season is over

 

[ME22]

Super proud of the guys tonight, but definitely dissatisfied with the results. I’m wondering if king is fully healthy, just seems to have regressed since mid season and of course that could just be the opponent too but idk something seems a little off with him, hoping some time off helps him regroup or recover a little more

 

[dressedcheeseside]

Number one goal in any game is to stop the run. Second goal is to run the ball. We were able to run the ball, but we couldn’t stop them running. I think Georgia’s average margin of victory is 25 points. Losing by 8 is not so bad considering.

Most of our best players are young guys and we get them back next year. The future is bright at GT. Just a few run stuffers on defense away from a really good team.

 

[sgreer]

Hopefully the Jackets can continue to get better. Need a stronger and faster front 7 on defense - that was the difference. Credit to the Jackets for fighting until the end.

 

[stingerman]

I agree with the decision to kick FGs and take the points early in the game tonight. We could not afford lost momentum if our conversions failed. Those points ended up making it a one score game at the end. Masterful coaching by Key and Faulkner tonight imo.

 

[yeti92]

You can definitely tell that they were just prepping for Bama. They could have ran up the score if they wanted to.

You must have been watching a different game. Their players repeatedly said, including at the end of the game, how important this game was and how much Kirby was stressing it all week. If they could have run the score up more they wouldn't have only one by one score and kept their starters in all game.

 

[MWBATL]

Made them play their starters the whole game. Did well even though Haynes clearly had a lousy 3rd quarter. It shows our program is on the rise. Hopefully helps us attract better players, especially on D.

 

[BleedGoldNWhite21]

Yeah moral victories blow chunks, but we gave them a better game than almost anyone else on their schedule. Let’s build on this.
