[QUOTE="Gtswifty81, post: 665580, member: 4428"] This is my first year back on the boards in several years after losing interest in following recruiting over the last few years. I attended school during the Hamilton and Godsey years, and one positive is several of my classmates have become more engaged this season in the teams future. I am admittedly disappointed in the season this year although the record doesn’t surprise me. The risk of transitioning away from the 3O was always there, and the success was always going to be dependent on the personnel that remained. Unfortunately, this season was a perfect storm of injuries to an already thin offensive line, a redshirt freshman winning the QB job with almost no game experience and being academically ineligible during the spring, plus coming off of one of Tech’s worst defensive season with a team dominated by underclassmen. The running game was as expected, the defense was as expected, but the passing efficiency left much to be desired. A 46% completion percentage with a 6.0 yd average is not going to win games. An offensive that cannot sustain drives is going to stress an already undersized defensive unit and games like yesterday will happen. The special teams unit did not help with coverage and fg misses. I like Harvin as a punter but even he was up and down on pinning teams inside the 20 consistently and could help the coverage unit with more consistent yardage and hang time. There has been a lot of discussion on the coaching staff this season, and I’m on the fence with Pnut. However, the teams youth and inexperience affects the execution level which also impacts play calling so I’m going to give the staff the benefit of the doubt and hope for improvement next year. Primarily I’m looking forward to December 15th to see who signs early and enrolls early. This class, even though it is not on the factory level, is an improvement and has more size than previous years. I don’t expect us to suddenly be a bowl team next year, but I expect to see improvement on the offense with year 3 taking us back to a bowl. [/QUOTE]
