[QUOTE="redmule, post: 73567, member: 1338"] Great balls of fire, how long are we gonna obsess over one bad play? Twenty post about it in minute detail? The thread's title also includes the word "good" in it. Why not 20 posts on Smelter's great play that gave us a one play TD drive. Can we have some analysis on the execution of each player's responsibility, how JT held the ball, the footwork of the OT, etc, etc, like we did on Wofford's TD play? And for the younger guys on here, Tech almost always plays to the level of the competition. Been doing it my entire life, and will most likely do it for the rest of yours. It is especially true early in the year before we have established an offensive and defensive identity. Later in the year, we will have momentum, either up or down, and that will determine how we play against lesser and better teams. I remember the year Furman tied us in the opener when Curry was here. I caught a ration of s**t from a Tennessee co-worker. We beat Tennessee later that same year. Ask Ted Roof if he remembers the Western Carolina game when he was a senior? I also remember us taking #1 Arizona to the wire in the opener when we truly sucked in '95. If the first game is an indicator of how the year will go, we should have played Clemson in the Orange Bowl for the MNC in 1981. Give the D a couple of games to get their act together. We lost some good players thru graduation and attrition, and there are some newbies and some oldies that sat out last year who have to settle into their positions.
