I wish they would tell me when it’s going to rain here. And while they’re at it, the timing of the first frost and our exact record as well as the scores.
Does Louisville have that much better talent than us? Have they done really well in the portal or recruiting that I haven’t heard of?. If you combine that with the talent gap between the teams, it's going to be a tough one for sure.
I did a deep dive they loose cunningham and a good few Offensive players and say that bhrom's Defenses have been mid to bad each seasonDoes Louisville have that much better talent than us? Have they done really well in the portal or recruiting that I haven’t heard of?
247 doesn't think so, for what it's worth.Does Louisville have that much better talent than us? Have they done really well in the portal or recruiting that I haven’t heard of?
I think I saw somewhere they have a highly rated portal class.I’d put them fringe top third in the ACC but Clemson, FSU, Miami, and UNC are pretty solidly 1-4 in some order.
They were a fringe Top 25 team end of the season last year. It’s going to be a tough game.
I believe they had the 2nd highest number of portal transfers after ColoradoI think I saw somewhere they have a highly rated portal class.

Georgia Tech Football: Coaching Profiles - WR Coach Josh Crawford
Let’s talk about one of Georgia Tech’s most intriguing hires.www.fromtherumbleseat.com
He’s G5, but Josh Crawford has made a significant improvement with the receivers at every stop. I’ll take some of that Western Kentucky offense
That's the guy I've been most excited about. Coaches that come out of that Western Kentucky offense have done a REALLY good job elsewhere. Outside of that, Crawford has put up big numbers everywhere he's been.
One thing I wrote about earlier in the year is that I hope this offensive staff gets to have input from everyone and not just dictated down from Faulkner. I think there's some really good coaches who come from really good offenses from previous stops that can add something to our offense. We've heard that Key and Faulkner are looking to sling the ball around, and recruits have talked about how the offensive staff has sold them, so it does seem like it's a collaborative effort.
Rk | Team | Rec | FBS | OFEI |
15 | Wake Forest | 8-5 | 7-5 | 1.05 |
41 | Western Kentucky | 9-5 | 8-5 | .33 |
42 | Coastal Carolina | 9-4 | 8-4 | .33 |
109 | Georgia Tech | 5-7 | 4-7 | -.69 |
I hope they do.To me, this reinforces the value of point spreads as a format for predicting football games. I would characterize most of our games as tossups, but to look at these probability numbers, it makes it seem as though we’re going to get spanked by Syracuse and Wake Forest. We may lose both of those games, but I don’t think we’re so bad that those teams can just pencil in a win against us.
My concern is that if we LOSE that game, how much will fan enthusiasm and player engagement drop?Friday night in Atlanta first game and Louisville has a new QB and new head coach. I like our chances. Ga Tech needs to get this win and get some confidence going early in the season. This is a huge game for the Jackets guys. I believe they’ll come ready to play baby.
