Quick Lane Bowl Postgame Discussion

[Jacket4Life9]

QB: Tobias should've started, and at the very least come in after 2 3-and-outs... Outside of JT, CPJ failed to field recruit a great QB for his system

D: I don't think the defense has forced a punt since Virginia... pitiful during Paul's entire career

Skill players: love em but they are not power 5 starter caliber... truth hurts

Thanks to CPJ.... but Bring on CGC. Please get talent back on the flats

It's on to a new coach and new year.

Full circle. CPJ took over after an uninspired performance on the blue turf at the Hum Bowl 11 years ago. CPJ goes out with an uninspired performance at the Oil Change Bowl 11 years later.

Hopeful of better times ahead, but it going to take a while to get the Jimmies and Joes.

Lest some, or many, of us all forget, Bobby Dodd lost his last bowl game, too.

Ratliffe's atv accident really was huge.

It would have been nice to win one more for PJ. He saved us a buyout and had some good years. Minnesota really worked us, and dominated the LOS.

i thought the same thing. Win a couple ACC games in a row, get dominated by uga, dominated in a bowl, then start over.
I’ve been a big PJ fan, but this bowl game has me ready for a change just like 2007. The difference is I’ll remember PJ fondly vs how I remember Chan.

Holy Christ. Looks like no one cared. Embarrassing, but glad that we won't have to watch the triple option implode on itself and not have the option to effectively throw the ball anymore.

 

[Oakland]

What a flop by the players. Now I know why none of the coaching staff was retained. Poor blocking, poor passing, and oh my gosh poor tackling. Coach Collins doesn't have much to work with on the defensive side. I can not figure out why Johnson didn't pull Marshall after the first quarter. Thank goodness, no more triple option.

 

[alagold]

I'm not sure why anyone expected different.ALL the coaches are going and the players are leaving an "OLD" program and have little to show.

 

[Dpjacket]

We lost the game and all 3 phases badly, sure.

But our band played Mo Bamba.

We lost even with Mo Bamba. Musical tripe for the dumbmasses. To be exiled through the same door with 3O.

I just want to know why Oliver wasn't put in sooner. I get that it was TQMs last game at GT, but for crying out loud he did not look good but for maybe 1 or 2 plays all game.

I almost wish our game was like BCs bowl game and ended in a no contest today

Is there any post game presser yet?

Yeah, but that was very different. His 1966 team was a big overachiever to get to 9-0, and lost the last two to teams that were much better. They lost to Georgia which finished 10-1, and Florida which finished 9-2. Very, very different.
It's not so much that we lost, but how we lost.

Wasn’t Tech ranked 8 in the country and the opponent Florida in the Orange Bowl?

 

[iceeater1969]

U r right.
Without recruiting more depth we are doomed to have our best athletes moving to cover for injuries.

Tonight I was most disappointed the defense seldom loaded the box and had tightc press coverage.

I would like to hear the reason also

Yes, GT lost that year to UGA which lost only to Miami, and to Florida which lost only to Miami and Georgia. That they went 9-0 before they lost those two was a spectacular overachievement. Bobby Dodd said he was prouder of that team than any he had here.

Was impressed with the Gophers D. They improved tremendously after they canned their DC.

Was not impressed with our D. Minnesota had exactly ZERO punts.

And Percy had a game he and we wouldn't have even dreamed possible. Longest put was 23 yards!! 4 punt for a total of 75 yards... Yikes!!!
