We are fortunate that we have had a lot of players down thru the years that are exceptional football players, but football is not their entire life. It is a valuable part of their college experience, and for a lot, it is a means toward an end. It is one other thing that sets Tech apart from so many others schools. It would be great if he comes back, but these guys see the bigger picture.
As much as I kind of felt the same way after the game, I think it's important to remember that we went down to the house of the #7/8 team in the country, playing most of the game with our 3rd string BB, and lost by 1 in a game that we should have won. If you think Miami is a good team, we are at least on the same level as them. I have a lot of hope and faith in our team, and still don't see a game on the schedule that we can't win. If we can just learn how to close out these games, we'll beat anyone on our schedule. 9-2 regular season is still possible.
They're definitely good, but I still think we're a better team. Without the KirVonte injury we flat out roll them. Even with that we took them to the last second and lost by 1 with a fluke play to keep them in it. We really just need to stop losing these games where we outplay the other team until the very end...just looking at ESPN's "win probability" for the UT and Miami games makes me pissed.
IMO they were the luckier team, not the better.
Did you read the stat sheet?
Stat sheet doesn't always tell the whole story. IMO the last drive of the first half and the last drive of the game inflated those numbers majorly. Of course that's part of the game but it's still not the whole story.
It’s the part that matters. We had multiple opportunities to put it away and failed to do it each and every time.
You say that like our previous games against Wake were blow outs
