Good game, Clemson and logan, Ryan and Joe V. I really do hope you guys win out.
For the people who say that we got a home-cooking call on the holding penalty, Clemson got called for holding last year at Clemson late in the 4th quarter after a long completion. There might be something about Clemson’s coaching technique on pass plays that figures in on this.

Frank Wren is very dilusional. No Tech fans are jumping off the bandwagon. How many times have you read where we want our head coach fired, or we want another quarterback, or we want a new defense or offense coordinator? We are 2-0, UGA will be 0-2 after tomorrow night. I guarantee that your stadium will be half empty by the start of the 4th Qtr. I can already hear the excuses, the refs made 5 bad calls, if we had not fumbled, if Cox didn’t throw another interception, if we had not missed the field goal, if the frog had wings, etc. UGA is in for a very long season. 45-42; 24-10; and 30-27 Ha! Ha! Ha!

I love Tech, but if they play like that against any other team accept Duke, they will get drilled everytime. The offense needs some serious work, I must have seen 15-20 missed blocks last night, but they do have character, just like against UGA they never gave up.

@Wren
“Tech got extremel lucky to win. Refs bailed em out.”

Lucky? After falling behind by 3 in the fourth quarter, the Tech Defense stood up and kept Clemson scoreless, while the Tech offense made two drives and scored two fieldgoals…one to tie and one to win. I call that character, not luck.

As to calls, I thought the calls were not biased, and the pass reception calls and reviews were really accurate. I did disagree with three holding/roughing calls…two on Tech and one on Clemson…when players were just falling or touching someone, with no intent to hold or rough.

By the end of the third quarter, both benches were obviously fatigued, with heaving chests and gulping air…what’s going on? Were both teams unconditioned?

Also, by end of third the much larger offensive and defensive linemen of Clemson started wearing down the lighter and quicker Tech lineman, and the Tech blocking was less effective. I’m glad the game ended when it did.

Interesting… on the Paul Johnson show, PJ said Tech (and Clemson) only had two days of practice before Clemson, and that affected both game planning and preparation…and conditioning.

Hopefully the offense will show up for the Miami game or we could be in for a big let down but hey this was a conference win.

You still won Tech.

Nesbitt has got to hit the open man. He also has got to learn to read his blockers better. Your QB is holding back the offense. Tech should have scored 40+ points last night.
