VMI post game thread

Great win! Got to clear most of the bench! The 2nd string couldn't keep VMI off the board or fully under 100 yds of total offense, but this was quite enjoyable despite the rain.

Not bothered at all by giving up a score...got to practice situational football with young guys...

Really glad so many players got to play. Some reward for all their practice time

Oh not bothered by it, just wanted the shut out combined with the sub 100yd defensive performance and just barely missed both

This is what competent teams do to fcs programs. It’s nice to not have to sweat one out

Seriously. They play in the same conference as The Citadel too

That was good, but I’m happier about clearing the cobwebs from our head.

Well… we beat that ***.

fun game to be at! Glad the weather held off. Onto Louisville!

Highlights

 

[Bogey]

Just what we needed before L'ville.

 

[UgaBlows]

How about that pass by Philo near the end?

 

[King2b]

How about Maddox? Does this mean he's ahead of Carrie? Nice to let Jamal rest.

When Haynes took that late hit before halftime, I was thinking get him out of there.

With VMI defeat, Georgia Tech earns largest margin of victory since 2015

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets defeated the VMI Keydets 59-7 on Saturday. Its the largest margin of victory for Tech since 2015.

First time in 7 years were 3 and 1 and largest margin since 2015

I think they are two very different backs. I think Maddox is closer to what Dontae Smith was for us last year (the bruiser), while Carrie is closer to Jamal Haynes. So Maddux fills a gap that we were not utilizing. Cooley might also be in that role as well as Maddox but he also has been hurt.

For mid-September the temperature and sun were perfect, and if there's going to be rain this is the way for it to have been.

Kudos to the AD department for having the music volume being very reasonable!!

Was disappointed in the crowd size, but understand considering the forecast.

Proud of the guys today. It’s been a while since we handled our business against an opponent that was outmatched. Lots of dust cleaned out and some fresh faces getting action. Hope the rest for our 1s pays off next weekend. No injuries that I could tell which is also nice. File it away and start prepping for what really matters next week against Louisville.

Obviously the level of competition was extremely low, but I thought we played well on offense and defense. We now have some pretty good looking players out there. We will know a lot more after next week.

 

[awbuzz]

I'll admit to being disappointed with our first possession. Afterwards, pretty much as expected.

Loved that Pyron, Philo, and Rhodes got to see action.
We played 9 running backs!
Harping and many other freshmen and some walk-ons got snaps too.

Blackburn with a TD.

Liked the "Oh my" (I think that was what they played when we hit a big play)

Edited to the correct "Yeah Baby" !!
(Thanks to @HurricaneJacket for correcting my poor memory)

They played "Yeah Baby" almost like it was Austin powers, but I thought it was the PA guy

Agree wholeheartedly. And it was very respectful and showed good sportsmanship that the two head coaches agreed to play the two quarters after halftime at 10 minutes each, so I was told by a suite owner in the South end zone. As a military retiree, I have lots of respect for VMI, a 1,600 student military university with the sole purpose of producing military officers. Several of my friends are general officers who graduated from the Virginia Military Institute. By the way, your father Randy Rhino and I shared many meals at Miss Twiggs' training table in the early 1970's, along with the infamous Swarm member Deep Snap.
