Our offense looks better, but we have a little trouble on D stopping the 3-0.

That said, 31-17 good guys.

Their offense is going to shorten the game and limit possessions. Which is a bad matchup for our offense which has been very inefficient. We got 1.08 points per drive vs Clemson 13 drives and 1.16 vs USF 12 drives.

How many are we likely to get against the Citadel - 10? How much worse is their defense than USF? Hard to imagine us scoring more than 17-21. Can our D hold them to 14 or less? We all know what the 3O is capable of...

Also, what's the health of our O-line going in? If we're down to freshmen and walkons, can we pass-protect at all? Or do we end up running option all day and further shortening the game?

I hope I'm wrong, but I think this is dangerously close.

We win but playing 3 QB's offense still can't get timing down.
24-14 Tech

Georgia Tech will beat The Citadel 35-7

31-10, GT TCOB

35-7 I see this as an elimination game for the QB competition. Any QB that struggles in this game will drop. I still don't see how it is possible to have 3 QBs going into our last game before ACC play starts.

I thought we had already done this one but, If we start Oliver and let him play through the third quarter 35-7. I we start any one else and rotate 21-14. Tech wins this one but if we continue the experiment and try to throw a bunch it will be ugly.

38-10 GT.

I really hope the offense finds some consistency and confidence in this one. Defense will do work. GT 35 - Citadel 10

Nonsense! We just need to practice without the ball and play sound assignment football! I do hope we dedicated extra time for this in Spring and Fall camps, and I wish we’d had a BYE before the game to prep for something so unorthodox. Honestly I just want a W and I hope all of our players make it out of the game without getting injured from all the chop blocks...such a dirty way to play the game. Good news is you don’t have to worry about them throwing the ball.

Am I doing it right? Did I miss any?

Our guys have the 3O spread engrained in them. We will be aggressive and shut them down. Defense might score on their own. Good Guys 31-10

223 - 0 Tech

Because I have become a fan of some of the points/drive analyses on here - each team would need 16 drives and we would have to score a TD and extra point on every single one of them.

 

[GTRX7]

Vegas opened the spread for our game at -37.5 to Georgia Tech. That is crazy. Also crazy, two days later the spread was already bet all the way down to -27.5.

I guess I will predict 31-6 good guys.

 

[jeffgt14]

Oh give me a break. 49-7

 

[Jim Prather]

I remember reading somewhere that the safest bet in all of college sports is betting that a triple option team will cover a spread.

If Elon and Towson St can figure out the Citadel, so will we. Coach Collins gets his first win over the Bulldogs.
