GT needs a credible passing threat. I believe it was 6 out of 19 against Clemson. That doesn’t work against good teams. I think Navy passed twice against ND, completed both, and one went for a TD. Other than the Mississippi State game last year, I’m losing any confidence that Nesbitt will develop into the passing threat we need. I disagree with the defense bashers. There’s no shame in holding Clemson to 27. If we hold teams under 30, we should be able to beat them. The offense is not pulling its weight. We can win out but only if the offense starts executing with urgency.

We can’t win out because nobody has one ounce of respect for our passing game and that includes me. As good as JN is,he should be replaced when we get behind with a passer. I also agree that Hill should be on the bench BUT for two reasons.One, he can’t catch a pass and two, he can’t block a lick.BUT, the main problem(and we should all just face it)is that we just aren’t a very good team this year. 7 & 5 will be very good for this team.

VT & Miami are beatable, VT is green on defense and has not seen an option attack like Tech’s. Miami is an impatient team and does not take care of the football.

If Tech can show patience with the option, it can win these two and put it on cruise control into the showdown with FSU for the Orange Bowl.

Last year, GT would score quick via either a run or a pass. This year the runs are 20-30 yards max. before they are caught; and the recievers drop all the passes so they are no threat at all.

Big D lines seem to show a pattern of killing our run game; therefore, the pass is the solution. They did this agains Clemson, but did not do it very well.

Walter Hill, in case you didn’t know, football teams require at least 22 players, with 11 on each side of the ball. We had 2 great players (Thomas and Morgan) and 2 very good players (Burnett and Dwyer) last year with 2 on each side of the ball. That means that we still had 9 player that were average to good on each side of the ball that had to do their jobs. So lets look at the defense. We are allowing about the same number of yards and points this year as last, despite not having superior athletes. This tells me that the 3-4 defense may actually be working. On offense is clearly where our problems lie. The B-back position is not very far off of where it was last year in terms of yards. The biggest difference is clearly in the passing game and missing Thomas, which has in turn impacted the whole offense. I guess what I am saying is that if you analyze it, it really comes down to really missing one guy as well as 22 guys on the team executing on the little things that would make the difference between being mediocre (which GT is) and being really good.

ashamedTechfan,
What do we have to be ashamed of? We won the ACC last year. We’ve gone to high level bowl games in consecutive years. And we are doing all of this with a football program that does not have the built in advantages in terms of size, conference, admissions or facilities that other programs have. Any true GT fan is proud of the way our program has operated over the last couple of years. I enjoyed watching GT football when O’leary was here, but we had NCAA issues on his watch. Chan came in and by all accounts ran a very clean program, but we were running a pro style offense and competing for the same recruits as UGA and a lot of other schools. That’s why I like CPJ and his offense. It’s different and we recruit different types of players. That’s why I also liked the idea of running the 3-4 (although UGA and Alabama both also run a 3-4, so that doesn’t help us as much on the recruiting side).

I thought that “old gold engineer’s” statement was strange…”There’s no shame in holding Clemson to 27. If we hold teams under 30, we should be able to beat them. The offense is not pulling its weight.”

When is holding teams between 27 to 30 points a good thing? Defense wins championships and you should shoot for holding teams to 15 to 18 points per game as an essential ingredient to winning most of your games. It’s ridiculous to expect any offense to score 30+ points per game week after week. It just won’t happen. You have to have a defense that will keep you in every game and the Yellow Jackets just don’t have it right now.

Offense? Now that’s a different story. Tech is just not as good this year as they have been the previous two years. They definitely cannot score 30+ points per game without the ability the complete a few passes down the field.

I always enjoy reading some of the comments. The typical Georgia fans complaints: Tech is nothing compared to Georgia, it’s not even a rivalry anymore. Paul Johnson is an idiot, his high school offense will never work at this level. Nerds go to tech, they aren’t real football fans. To answer all of these points-Tech and UGA are rivals. Anyone who thinks not might as well forget about the UGA-UF rivalry as that series is more lopsided recently than ours. Teams are judged by championships, and Tech has more than Georgia. Paul Johnson’s offense DOES work. He won an ACC Championship with it. His offense scored more points against a Georgia defense than a Georgia offense with at least three first round picks on it (including AJ Green) was able to score on a mediocre Tech defense. Are tech fans obnoxious, crazed rednecks? No. Are many of the followers bandwagoners who hop on when tech is doing well, then criticize tech for being awful when times get tough? Sure. But what team doesn’t have followers like that. I don’t consider them fans because a true fan supports their team in the good and bad. I saw a lot of UGA followers putting on their Alabama shirts ready to cheer them on. Why? Because they were winning when their dawgs were losing… As far as the shots below the belt, anyone who thinks Johnson is a little hefty needs to look at older pictures of Richt. The man has easily put on a few pounds while CPJ has lost a few pounds. UGA followers, just a heads up. Cops in Athens do not target football players. Anyone misguided enough to believe that, well, you probably are perfect to be a Georgia follower. It feels good to get this off my chest.

Delusional, let’s assume that UGA runs the table and wins the sec east with three conference losses. Are you happy with that? Considering that last year, Bama and Florida met in the dome with no losses between them, it is fair to say that the east at least has had a dropoff. That being the case, would you agree that winning the east in a deflated year is less than satisfying? I personally would like to see Tech take VT and Miami, as unlikely as that is, and get to the ACC championship game. But it would be a very unsatisfying achievement. I would prefer to elevate our game rather than seeing the competition decline. Having said that, I think Tech would be extremely lucky to split VT and Miami, and UGA would be equally lucky to get by Auburn. Thoughts?

History Professor, I wouldn’t say the SEC East is down this year, it is the lack of coaching for the teams that has the East so bad. When you compare the recruits Georgia gets to Tech’s its almost not fair. But then Georgia loses to Colorado, lack of coaching. Even Florida gets the top players in the nation but they have the wrong QB running the offense and that is horrible coaching

Delusional, all great points, but regardless of the reason, the sec east is diminished this year. Whether it’s coaching, players etc, the wins and loses tell the story. Thanks for the intelligent rational conversation, a rarity in these blogs. Good luck with the rest of the season with one exception.

This team doesn’t deserve a championship and it’s laughable that anybody is even mentioning the word…

Walter Hill…You should know lots about ASS kickings as you get yours kicked quite frequently against Florida don’t you? I bet your foaming at the mouth since they aren’t worth a crap this year and you might end up 6-6 and your on top of the world? Since the SEC is almost a Professional type football conference why do you worry so much about a very small conference who focus is on educating their student athletes and giving them a bright future outside of sports. Since the ACC is a much smaller conference what’s the big deal about beating a much smaller school? Football is all you have isn’t it Walter? What ya been doing since they stopped you from pee peeing and pooping at tailgate functions? Walter…even a dog won’t crap in its own house!

I don’t see this team winning out in the ACC. It just seems like the position coaches aren’t pulling their load when it comes to getting the players flat out knowing what to do. I see way too many linemen whiffing on blocks. WR’s aren’t on the same page with the QB. A-bacls don’t finish runs an push the secondary. Instead, they just run out of bounds.
I give the D a bit of a pass given the first year of the 3-4, but it is clear our talent (ie size and strength) needs to be better. Iowa, Georgia, and Clemson just destroyed us on the lines.

I love these blogs! They are better than any soap opera out there.

If the moon and the stars line up and if I wash my car twice tomorrow and if… then Tech might play for the ACC Championship. We sound like the pack rabid dawg fans hoping to see the SEC Championship.
Folks, It ain’t gonna happen for either team.
Tech has doo-dooed all over itself this year. Some of it has been Johnson’s fault. Some of it has just plain been ‘WTF?’
However, before we burn Johnson in effigy, let us remember that Chan ‘7-5′ Gailey, and his NFL-style offense, didn’t light up many scoreboards. I still believe that, over the course, Johnson will put up good numbers. If not, then we hire someone else. This ain’t rocket science.

Plain and simple, Paul Johnson has not done a good job this year. You can talk about talent all you want, the BL is there is enough talent to beat Kansas/NC State/Clemson…he did a poor job getting the kids ready for those games, especially Kansas and Clemson.
