How Good Is UGA’s Defense?

I respect what UGA has been able to do defensively this year, but it’s an understatement to say the SEC has been down this year, and UGA has had the fortune of not having to play any of the good teams in the West. So, how good is the UGA defense, really? I went through their games and threw out the Coastal Carolina game. I listed the yards the Bulldogs gave up vs the opponent’s yearly average. Boise 390yds / (475 avg) -85yds USCe 395yds / (361 avg) +34yds Coastal […]

Hokie Time

The key to this game is going to be the interior run game of both teams. Tech has a history of getting gashed (although, the past 2 games they have done a remarkable job against 2 teams that run the ball quite well), and David WIlson is one of the top backs in the ACC, if not the country. If the Jackets can keep the Hokies less than 4.0 ypp on the ground, that means GT is in good shape. This means that not only must Tech contain Wilson and force predictable 3rd down situations, they must […]

Falling Into Place

If you read this blog, you surely know that Georgia Tech played their most complete game of the year, and in the process beat #5 Clemson 31-17 on Saturday night. Nobody thought that Clemson was unbeatable, but most thought that the speed and playmaking ability that the Tigers possessed would simply be too much. For Tech to come out on top, they’d have to execute well and not put themselves in a hole like they did the previous 2 weeks, starting out down 14 in both games. The game plan […]

Quick Thoughts on GT V. Kansas

What a debacle. GT got embarrassed on a weekend where they really could have set themselves apart as the ONE good ACC team. Almost everyone else lost, and obviously Tech did the same in a very disappointing effort in all phases of the game. I’m going to quickly hit a few things that jumped out at me while watching the game: Offense 2 things are really concerning on the offensive side of the ball, and they both are the reason why the Jackets haven’t been able to break any really […]

Quick Thoughts on GT V. SC State Game

I already posted my thoughts on the offensive effort so I’ll add a few bullet points about the entire game. Offense Great reads by all 3 QBs that played. Nesbitt made the cleanest reads and was one step ahead on every run. Everyone’s already talked about throwing the ball and I was honestly a bit surprised they didn’t spend more time working on that in live game action. You figure that if you are going to try to air it out a bit, why not do it in game one? Who knows. In any event […]
