The Citadel Postgame

[wrmathis]

every kick King took he pushed right. even the practice kick he got before tying was pushed right. the one he made he almost pushed it to far right. the 51yd he missed was pushed right to the next county

Our D did fine live ball.

Dead ball not so much. Would have been 4 stops on 5 drives in first half if not for dead ball penalties. Instead they gifted an additional 7.

Citadel had 156 yards rushing against Elon and 320 vs our D with a backup QB for a quarter. How did the D do fine?

 

[Eli]

Collins is a joke.

 

[Js-showman]

Stop blaming clock management. Georgia Tech should be able to roll out of bed hung over and beat the Citadel by 3 touchdowns. They have never beat an ACC team before.

Might as well have Bill Curry coaching at this point.

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

All on collins. The dumbest 23 seconds of coaching i have seen in my life.

No to. Lets 10 run off. Dumb
Then before snap after 7 runs off calls a to. Dumb

Prevents the win. Dumb.

Where is the situational awareness from the staff

He didn’t even manage to make many adjustments on the damn D side. If their starting QB hadn’t gotten knocked out we don’t even make it to OT.

He’s great at slogans though so all is well....

We had HUGE match-up advantages on the outside. Throw the jump ball to Carter or Camp. We tried it 3 times... caught twice, and one was dropped. When you are this anemic at finding something that works, those become even higher percentage plays.

We didn't protect the QB. We bring in Lucas and run the exact same play we ran with Lucas all game even though we should have known they'd blitz just like CU and USF did.

 

[CuseJacket]

That's a sad use of our last several years as a standard. Even with the stupid penalties in the first half, we gave up a lot in the second half -- just like we did last week against USF.

We gave up 10 points on 4 drives in the 2nd half. It wasn't great, but it wasn't awful, imo. I'm referencing the gifted 7 points in the first half and the extra time on the field as a D because of dead ball penalties. Maybe that led to what we saw in the 2nd half, who knows.

 

[iopjacket]

The season is pretty much over. We need to get into damage control to hang on to our recruits. Coaching acumen is pretty suspect. Hope Collins can grow into the job.

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

As most of you know, I think our line talent is way, way down, and it has been for the last few years.

With that said, this loss is TOTALLY on the coaches. It was a clown show.

 

[kalld12]

Lucas might be a good QB behind a good oline but we don’t have that. Oliver or graham has to start.

Not even close. No poise, no running ability, has no idea how to throw a ball with the right touch/projectory, and I don’t think his team even believes he should be QB by the amount of blocking he gets compared to Oliver

 

[smokey_wasp]

Not good. I imagine CGC will take full responsibility for this. TO and JM could have run on them all day but we tried to build on our future offense when we aren't close to ready.

 

[Ibeeballin]

Congrats!!! A LOT of people day was made today

 

[gtg845w]

At least Paul Johnson didn't lose to a fcs (including gardner webb)

 

[pcctlw]

Going to be a long season. Zero confidence in this OC and maybe the head coach too. Poor game plan on both sides. May be in the cellar of the coastal for years. Recruiting will be impacted from this loss.

 

[AE 87]

We gave up 10 points on 4 drives in the 2nd half. It wasn't great, but it wasn't awful, imo. I'm referencing the gifted 7 points in the first half and potentially the extra time on the field as a D because of dead ball penalties. Maybe that led to what we saw in the 2nd half, who knows.

2 pts/drive is the average against Pwr5 competition. Giving 2.5 ppd against an FCS team is horrible.

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

I would have at least spoken with Monken and asked, "What is your vision for keeping the Option principles here, but doing things to make it more attractive to recruits?" Did we even ask? I doubt it. Sometimes, you can change a little and market it better, and results will improve. Oh well. We have a 5-7 year experiment to live through now.

 

[WreckinGT]

Not even sure what to say after that. Our coaching right now is horrendous.

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

Our D did fine live ball.

Dead ball not so much. Would have been 4 stops on 5 drives in first half if not for dead ball penalties. Instead they gifted an additional 7.

Thats like saying a QB had a great game except for the interceptions. Smdh

We haven't lost to an FCS team since RefrigeratorMover was on our OL.

Cannot agree more, Smokey, especially what is in bold above.....
