[QUOTE="InsideLB, post: 182666, member: 857"] It is interesting to compare the start of '14 with the start of '15. I agree we are not making the plays. There are other things going on as well: 1) NO BAILOUT OPTIONS at WR/AB to extend drives. In '14 our offense started off pretty poorly but had some good bailout receiving options at AB and WR that we don't have in 2015. Recall in 2014 we had to pull feces out of our rectum to beat VT (4th & 15 TD pass to Smelter) and Georgia Southern (miracle fumble followed by great JT/Deon Hill individual effort). Losing 2 NFL draft-choice WRs plus a bunch of senior A backs and Andrews hurts....plus injuries to Summers and Searcy. 2) BEATING OURSELVES ON STs: At ND we couldn't punt or kick a field goal to save our life. At Duke we give up 3 TDs on 2 returns and snapping over the punter's head. Another snap misadventure vs. UNC gave them a TD. Also missing assignments on key offensive plays. 3) INJURIES: Gamble out 2 games in a row, plus a host of offensive players at our thinnest, least experienced positions. Despite all this our offense is showing some signs of improvement and our defense when Gamble and Gotsis are playing is pretty decent. To really be Georgia Tech we have to be able to get 3rd and 4th and short pretty consistently. Right now we can't. Clean up the ST mistakes and missed assignments and we could be 4-1 right now and 2-0 in the Coastal with head-to-head wins vs division rivals. We just have to work to get better. The mistakes are fixable, and we can play better. I am excited by a lot of the young guys playing that we've seen. I think the future can be very bright for us. Just gotta do the work. [/QUOTE]
