[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 224197, member: 216"] Our offense struggled yesterday ... like it was playing against VaTech or Clemson or somebody ... If that means that our defense is getting up to the level of a VT (Foster) or Clemson (Venables) then I am the happiest GT fan on the planet. It's the most I've seen "us" struggle against "us". But, if our D is the same as it has been, then it just means we have a crappy O (right now). I was encouraged by the way our guys on D seemed to play fast, sound, tackled well (mostly), and got after the offense in general. Pass rush looked good, LB's flowed fast, DB's came up and tackled but also didn't let anything get behind them. It was a dominating performance. So, I'm good with the D. Can they do it against offenses they won't have been practicing against for months? If so, we can be a good team. Wouldn't it be nice if what we witnessed was our offense actually having trouble moving the ball against an actual top-25 FBS defense? Man, that would be a shot in the arm, wouldn't it. Having a top-25 offense AND defense is something I've never witnessed since becoming a Tech man 17 years ago. My primary source of doubt is still our OL. I fear that we're a good man or two short there. Some very bad luck involved and extremely painful recruiting misses. But, we've still got a chance to find a combination that can develop into something decent. Others have already mentioned Mills, Jarrett, Marshall. I'll say I thought Stewart looked good out there.
