Seems like we have alot of reasons why Tech didn't look good or playgood against BC. Give BC credit, they had plenty of time time to practice for Tech, and at least for this game, they were our equal. We might want to consider that Tech, right now is just an average ACC team for what that's worth.

After week 1, we can factually say that we were an average team. No one knows where we are going; it would have been better to be good than average. But IIWII.

I think we win 7 regular season, so we would be slightly above average. Next year we'll be better.

Yeah, he even says sometimes he will try and create a false "tendency" for future opponents to notice on film only because he plans on exploiting there prepping to the tendency by intentionally breaking it in that game. I don't doubt this and know I cannot dissect what he is up to to that level.

We're talking about checkers while he's playing chess.

I wish more of our experts on here remembered that.

Agreed @Dr and JFuga, early on in watching CPJ I would often think he was showing his hand, only to see he was setting up something for later. Now I just enjoy the game, watch the reads and blocks, and try to learn as much as I can about what makes our offense go.

You can't out-yoda yoda, nor out-coach coach.

Not just chess...3D chess:

It is merely anecdotal on my part but I noticed during the broadcast that on several occasions I "knew" what CPJ would call based on familiarity. I was amused a couple times actually when the color guy would speculate on what CPJ would do in a particular situation and I would completely disagree with what the analyst predicted, and lo and behold, my call of the play was right and his was wrong. this is as close to armchair QBing/coaching I intend to get, so don't mind me.

Bruce I wasn't trying to shoot down your observations, I was just adding to the conversation things that I've heard our coach say. There is so much going on behind the scenes that most fans don't even begin to think about.

My friend sent in a question to the radio show after the FSU '09 game asking why did we use a lot of trips formation in that game. His answer was we had a lot of success with that in '08 so we figured they would be prepared for it. But this year we added a wrinkle and "they never figured it out". and he chuckled when he said that. Checkmate!
