Temple Post Game

[Coloradojacket]

In the postgame show, they commented that Mason didn't go back into the game in that Kenny Cooper also was hurt (again/more) and unable to play a good bit last part of the game.

What is a bit disturbing is USF, Citadel, and Temple just look to be tougher than us. Purely out physical ling us.

Well, I wonder when the last time was we did not score a TD....probably Bill Lewis.
Question is Jordan Mason hurt. He barley played today and that is problem
Graham may be the guy going forward but we have got to run the ball. His passing was about like Oliver's.
We no longer know how to run block.
Maybe we can beat Va Tech but we are looking at some ugly games going forward.

Nobody said anything about it but I think JPM got hurt late in the first half. After he was tackled it looked to me like he walked off the field holding his arm. Never saw him again

Does it make a differnce if we go 1-11 instead of 5-7??
I'd rather see the postives and build these young guys with gametime experience, Let them take thier lumps.we knew this season was not gonna be a fun year. Why not build to the future.

Yes! A big difference!

I noticed from the stands that the dancing was on point. At one point, a player on the sideline broke it down and gyrated up and down the bench. This was only topped by another player twerking while he waved fake dolla dolla bills with Collins' face on them. I feel very comfortable in saying that we have the best dancers in the ACC.

Tech sports aren’t fun right now and the near future doesn’t look good

Baseball is looking strong. Women's basketball is healthy.

Need to focus on the positive.

We are so garbage and the coaching isn’t helping ****. This rebuild might blow up in our faces. I just don’t see how this can be turned around to be better than what we had with Johnson and the triple option.

Having no FG kicker is killing us

He hasn't let Wells have a shot yet this year. Are we going to say that the guy who went 9-9 last year is unreliable, because he missed an XP?

 

[sidewalkGTfan]

It seemed obvious that Cooper was hobbled almost from the start of the game.

 

[CuseJacket]

Wow that is really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find a silver lining...

Read it how you wish. I'm actually much more optimistic about the future than I am about today's game. But that's not necessarily the purpose of this thread.

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

Only very questionable coaching decision was on possible catch by Brown - should have considered using TO to request review. I give credit for not beating ourselves with penalties. Players are giving effort. But, I still think we are underachieving even with the difficult transition.

This week is easier to forgive than losing to a bad FCS team.

 

[gtg391z]

We are way worse than we should be and I'm doubtful we can win another game this year. Ill leave it at that.

Based on what? Did you see them in spring and fall practice? How many years of experience I D1 coaching do you have?

 

[CuseJacket]

Double edged too because they had better field position after as well.

If we miss a FG, it's the same field position. I don't think punting was an option, if that's where you're going, if we were to have any shot at winning the game.

GT got screwed by the Oliver fumble into the endzone at the half yard line, that changed the momentum of the entire game.

We also got screwed by the random Graham hand injury? I still don't understand what happened there, but that ended up leading to the Oliver second fumble which was a scoop and score (I don't blame Oliver for either fumbles it was just for tackling by Temple and luck on their side).

Absolutely agree that this play changed the game...but it WAS a fumble...GT didn't get screwed....

This is really going to make CGCs sales pitch tough. A 1-11 season is hard to spin no matter how good a salesman you are

Now is the ultimate test for the GT fan base, now is the time to give the players and coaches the support for this transition not throw in the towel. It may end up being a 1 win season but all we can hope is that Collins knows what he is doing

I was agreeing with you. Having a healthy kicker who could have made that would have helped allot. But yes if they miss, it's the same.

So here is a bright spot as it is clear we are limited in lineman. We have 5 committed for 2020. I am concerned that we have few D-lineman. For 2021 we need to not focus on skill players but go out and get 3 more O lineman and 5 D-lineman. Frankly it has come to the point in football that the RB position is plug and play as they are all about the same.

 

[awbuzz]

Zack Q was hurting towards the end of game for sure. Our O-line is beat up and thus thin. Credit them for doing what they can as we aren't playing with a full deck...

 

[Jacketman]

Regarding FG kickers:
So Wells doesn't get a chance because he missed one XP? King is too erratic on FGs and kickoffs.

His next coaches show should be interesting
