I did not see a poorly coached undisciplined team today.
I had to leave shortly after the TO fumble & will not watch the game until later today but that is what I saw as well.
I don’t like losing when we’re not prepared, I despise not being prepared against weaklings and then getting whipped. Approaching my 5th decade of GT football and am accustomed to being outmanned, so my expectation is the coaches at GT need to coach their guys up.
In limited viewing:
A. We seemed prepared to play albeit against a weak opponent.
B. We were not getting whipped except from what I can tell that 2 drive sequence I was listening on the radio where they scored back to back TDs. The D seemed to be positioned well.
C. I see little evidence of good coaching on offense, particularly on the OL where coaching was expected to be an area of coaching strength. I know people are high on Key, but how hard is it to coach up a bunch of nearly NFL ready guys and you’ve got a stack of them sitting on the bench as replacements in case someone gets hurt/ underperforms?
D. I do not like what we’re doing with QBs. I was following you guys yapping between TO & JG. I think both would do better with being coronated as they guy we’re going with. QB platooning needs to stop. If we’re going to be a throwing team and JG can throw a lot better, put him in. If we’re going to transition and in so doing be more run heavy, put TO in. If down the road LJ is an option, please give him more practice reps before he sees the field so he’s comfortable in the gun.
I don’t like the results but I’ll see what I see against UNC. Hopefully I’ll see 2 games in a row where we come out as an improved team. Hard not to one up the Citadel game, but there’s no rewriting history on that. This will continue to be brought up for several more years & Coach is going to have to deal with what he did on that.
