The good and bad in Tech’s loss
Reviewing Tech’s 42-34 loss to Georgia:
The game that was
Georgia Tech looked sharper for 80-plus plays on offense than it has all season, but losing three fumbles and an interception were too much to overcome. The Bulldogs converted those miscues into 28 points. As focused as the offense was, the defense is still learning on the job, a kind way of saying it’s just not working yet. With the exception of half against Wake Forest and and a game against Virginia, it hasn’t worked consistently all season.
What we learned
1. The team can get up for big games, why not the rest? The Yellow Jackets’ three best performances this season occurred against three of its biggest rivals: Georgia, Virginia Tech and North Carolina. Where was that emotion against N.C. State, Duke or Kansas?
2. The defense is a pick your poison. When Tech loads up to stop the run, which it did frequently against Georgia, it gives up the pass. Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray completed 15 passes for 271 yards and three touchdowns. The Bulldogs averaged 8.9 yards per play. And then the Bulldogs were able to run, accumulating 154 yards. Like Tech, Georgia averaged 5.3 yards per rushing attempt.
3. Tech’s offensive line can come off the ball. The front five have been much-maligned this season, but they looked sharp against the Bulldogs. Not only were they not called for a penalty all night (with the exception of two point-after attempts), they pushed around Georgia’s front seven. Johnson complimented his line after the game, something he hasn’t done this season. It was their best performance this season.
Injury report
There were no significant injuries to report.
Numbers game
92
Plays run by Tech against Georgia. It was the most plays the Yellow Jackets have run since 2000, when they ran 94 against Virginia.
Sound bite
“I think you make your own breaks. You have to give them credit, they made plays. I’m just more disappointed for the kids because they played so hard. I just wish I could have found a way to help them win the game.”
– Tech coach Paul Johnson
Loose ends
Tech finished with a .500 record in the regular season for the first time since 2000. … Tech is 39-61-5 in its series against Georgia. … Its 512 yards of offense were its most since the game 1999 game against Georgia. … Its 77 rushing attempts were its most in the last 30 years. … Tech trailed in nine of 12 games this season. … Anthony Allen surpassed 1,800 yards rushing in two seasons. … Freshman outside linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu had his second sack in as many games. He has three this season. He’s one off the team’s leader, Brad Jefferson.
What’s next
Tech must wait to find out which bowl wants it. Seven teams in the ACC are up for seven bowls, starting with the Champs Sports Bowl, which picks third. The conference championship winner will play in the Orange Bowl and the loser will play in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Tech is being slotted by bowl forecasters into the Independence Bowl. Its performance against Georgia, coupled with the poor performances of other conference teams this weekend, may give it a bump to a more prestigious bowl.

Offense is a team, 3 fumbles and an interception is not looking sharp. Jackets should have won by 20. Jackets still need to play a complete game that includes not having 4 turnovers. Let’s get real.

I thought the guys played their hearts out. We will get better and better with time. I really look forward to the next couple of years, with the development of a couple of QBs. We definitely have the smartest coach. I always disagree with some stuff, (like not kicking FG in 1st quarter), but in my mind CPJ is a X and O genius. Looking forward to next season already GOOOO JACKETS!!

I would also list the VT game as one the defense performed well…..they only gave up 21 pts against an offense that was averaging in the 40’s in the previous three conference games. Additionally, one of those scores came on a short field after we failed to convert a 4th and long attempt.

CPJ should be gone. The offense is cannot mount a comeback at the end of the game because they have no passing game. What a joke. The only thing that kept Tech in the game was Murray’s fumble. Yes, we scored points, but as usual we have no answer when down in the closing minutes due to ZERO passing game. CPJ isn’t going to change so we will continue to be mediocre in the worst conference. HOW MANY UNRANKED TEAMS DID WE LOSE TO THIS YEAR? 5; is that acceptable to you?

You’re looking on the wrong side of the ball Varsity. I agree, passing has to be part of the solution, but the real problem is on defense.
If the offense doesn’t score on every possession, Tech loses. Our defense stinks out loud. The d backs can’t cover, then after a reception is made they look scared to hit anyone. There’s never a defender within five yards. Pitiful.

I think there is a guy coming, Vad Lee, that will make everyone stand up and take Notice of GT.
I just hope we can hang on to CPJ. I bet there are a lot of programs around the country that would love to have him. I hope he never leaves! Thanks for what you have done CPJ! Seems like in Three years we have one a lot of game and played for a couple of conference Championships. I’ll that!

I tried to tell everyone we don’t have the personnel to run the 3-4 and we don’t have a nose guard on campus.
I predicted 43-41 Tech in triple OT and everyone laughed.
Plain and simple, we are horrid on defense. We were outcoached all night. The entire staff should be fired for falling for that trick at the end of the game.

The turn overs were the factor in the game. Tech has a very good coach in CPJ who took what he had and made the most of it. The last call on giving up the td was much like a general using every means he had to try and defeat his opponent. Good luck in your bowl game Jackets!

Defensive problems: I wrote last week three keys to how Ga would hit our defense: 1.Slant pattern- we still haven’t defensed one yet, 2. play the tight end- they threw numerous times to their TE…over the middle. See slant pattern. , 3. turnovers/penalties- we did well not having penalties, esp motion and personal fouls, but the turnovers…
If you noticed the film of the interception, there was an open Tech receiver even with the one thrown to at the sideline past the first down marker and ready to step out of bounds after advancing the ball. This was as bad as last years dropped pass!
The coach doesn’t run/hold onto the ball. The coach doesn’t decide who/when to throw to a particular receiver. The coach doesn’t broadcast who the ball is going to be thrown to.

There are two significant storylines from this game. First, Georgia turned four Tech turnovers into 28 points. Second, Tech turned three UGA turnovers into ZERO points. I love our offense, and if you look at most of the game statistics, it appears that we should have won. However, the Georgia defense came up big once or twice, and we shot ourselves in the foot on at least four occasions.
I’m still excited about the future of Tech football, and hope we can keep CPJ on The Flats for many, many years to come.

As a “non-Tech” college football fan, please allow me my two cents. Anyone calling for the firing of CPJ doesn’t know college football. When I heard that he was going to Tech, my thoughts were “uh oh”. He’s one of the best offensive minds in the game and Tech is very fortunate to have him. The problem at Tech is obviously not offense. The problem, IMHO, is that you can’t recruit enough quality players to field an entire championship quality team. Few can. But with a few good-quality recruits on defense along with CPJ’s offensive scheming, Tech should be fine. CPJ is a great fit for Tech, a school that’s not going to out recruit most top-tier programs.

Thank you Cobb Dawg! Never thought I’d be thanking a dawgs fan but you obviously understand football and CPJ heck of a lot more than most of our own Tech fans. We overachieved in 2008 with a 9-4 record, we won ACC, appearance in the Orange Bowl and went 11-3 in 2009… going into 2010 we lost 4 Jrs to NFL, we have one senior OL who was originally a walk-on(!!!), we have a new DC with a new scheme, etc, etc, etc. We just don’t have the talent that bigger programs can attract. Worse, Gomer (gailey) left us so thin with talent, I feel sorry for CPJ. Yet some are calling for CPJ and Al Groh’s head. Al Groh’s defense is fine, he just needs more time and better players fit for his scheme. CPJ is a great offensive mind and a proven winner. He knows how to take average talent and polish them up to be winners. I hope he stays at Tech for a long long time. Our 2011 should be better and 2012, we’ll be very dangerous.

“…it’s a home game for Fla…”
Maybe it is, but the Georgia people keep signing the contracts to play in Jacksonville. So if you have a problem it is with your perceived dummies in Athens.
————
I had 10 fans from both schools over for the game. The consensus before the game was that UGA could name the score. 56 – 3 Georgia was the general trend. GT playing with its #2 QB and UGA having its starter at QB were the major points. Plus all agreed GT just sucked all season.
To say we were all stunned by the game would be an understatement.
The GT offensive line was just awesome and we did not expect that.
The GT QB just made to many wrong reads was another consensus.

How do I get GT and Tennessee in the same bowl? It would be a wonderful game with all the ties between the two schools.

Your defense is going to continue to be dreadful. You recruit no talent, and that can’t work on the defensive side of the ball.
You lost to pretty awful Miami, Clemson, and Georgia teams because you can’t stop anyone. Two of those three teams will most-likely fire their coaches, and Georgia probably should.
Ask Jim Harbaugh how he’s landing top talent at an academic powerhouse. It’s the only way you guys are going to signifcantly improve.

UGA fan but would like to congratulate GT on a hard fault game. For various reasons GT and UGA appear to have one common waekness. Neither team can field an even average defense and after one year we new DC’s neither showed much improvement this year. Hopefully for both schools another year recruiting and players learning the system will help. I hope we are not playing each other next year for 6-6 or 7-5 again.

Much like UGA’s you are undersized at Nose Guard, but you are also unathletic at Linebacker. Those are the two staples needed in a 3-4.
I don’t see anywhere that you have incoming talent to fill either of those needs. Groh’s defense going to Tech was a square peg for a round hole. Your personnel doesn’t match the scheme.

I would like to see a traditional coach back at Tech again like a George O’Leary. Not sure who exactly, but there are plenty of good young coaches who are not stuck in an offensive system that prevents you from recruiting top talent. I know we cannot get one of the top 10 coaches, but we can do better.

jarvis- GT’s defense is young and got valuable experience this year. This was the first year in a 3-4 scheme Another year in the weight room will help as well. Like I said, this defense can not get worse than they were this year. I also think you are underestimating J-Burnett at linebacker. He is a true sophomore and is a tackling machine. Reminds me of Curran, but julian will stay all 4 years.

Haven’t checked the UGA blogs (I don’t as a rule, because I get enough of idiotic rednecks just going around Atlanta), but I don’t seem to have heard enough about how monumentally stupid it was for Richt to run the ball with 1:40 left after GT called their last timeout. If Tech had found a way to go down the field and tie that game, and I had been the AD at UGA (God forbid), I would have fired Richt immediately. That was one of the dumbest coaching moves I’ve seen in a long time.

We love Coach Johnson for his honesty and integrity! He tells it like it is and doesn’t sugar coat it! This team is young and has made too many mistakes all year! Last year’s team was older and committed fewer turnovers. Fewer turnovers would have led to a 9-3 or 8-4 season and everyone happy! This team was competitive in the big games and that is all we can ask of any football team period! Our household is proud of the team and will attempt to go to whatever bowl we go to wherever it is! Also, will renew season tickets and considering two more! Hope to see all true TECH MEN everywhere and their families at the bowl in a few weeks! Lets have some fun!

Im not equating the SEC and the ACC at all. The SEC is definitely superior, but bashing the ACC because one of the SEC’s worst teams beat one of the ACC’s worst teams seems a little stupid. How did Florida do against Florida St? If the ACC was so completely weak and useless then Florida should have destroyed FSU shouldn’t they? The SEC has two good teams this year, just like every year, and the rest of the conference will ride their coattails and pretend they are great as well.

By the way congrats to the classy Dawg fans on this blog. But to Criminals, unlike your coach, Coach Johnson suspended the player who was accused of assault immediately and he was acquitted in court and then was allowed to rejoin the team! It cost him a season but it was the right thing to do! Unlike your coach who will welcome Christian Lemay who had sex with a girl in school, appealed his suspension, and then withdrew from school rather than accept his punishment! He bailed on his school and his football teammates and this is the leader of the team in two years! It is embarassing to have a state school with the behavior problems that the Georgia football team has and will continue to have because they don’t walk away from problems like Lemay! I feel bad for the classy Dawg fans and friends I know!

You know what happens when you assume. As for all those Ga arrests they are for driving violations or drinking underage. Not for Rape, selling Marijunia, or for overdosing of a baseball player, or beating up their girlfriends. If you live in a glass house quit throwing those stones.

Techies, your team is one dimensional. You can run that option crap all over anybody but its obviously not going to win you many games. #1 rushing team in the land=6-6. So who cares if you can run the ball? Its year 3 of CPJ and the defense is still a disaster. And the passing game? You simply don’t have one. If its late in a close game you need a downfield passing game. I’ve just never seen what all the hub bub is about with Johnson. He’s good at what he does, but I don’t think its ever going to take you to the levels that you aspire to. I’m sorry Techies. I come in peace.

Coach P Johnson showed that he is probably one of the top Xs and Os coaches in the game. Between his coaching and Georgia give the game away mentally, Tech was able to stay in the game and make it much closer than it should have been. If Johnson had the players Richt had, he would have coache them up and won 57-7. Because he gets the most out of his players and because he would not take his foot off the gas. He ran it down the Dawgs throats and said ” you cannot stop this…but try”. and then could not.
Boo Boo Bobo on the other had is throwing the ball at will on Tech and decides, ‘ hey, we should run the ball, even if we are having success throwing and even if they have 9 in the box on defense, because the book says we should try to burn some clock. And that is why he is an assistant coach and a poor one at that.

Here is a question. Why does CPJ get all this gushing love after going 6-6. He had one good year. Did it with 4 players Chan recurited. Now look. Its like Obama. The press loved him. Here is a coach that has put together a team that only won with Chans guys, has no passing game, no 2 minute offense, calls plays that don’t make sense. ( For you naysayers how about passing 3 straight against Ga last year at the end of the game with plenty of time to score, Same thing at the end ot this year) Yet no one questions his calls cause its ‘his’ offense

We can’t win turning the ball over 3 plus times while marching for a score and at the same time have a subpar defense. What’s amazing is everytime this happens and look at the box and the fact we still had a chance to win the game in the 4th quarter. I guess that’s this triple option offense. Championships have to be coupled with a strong defense, so that is where the focus needs to be as well as redzone turnovers.

Richt has won a conference championship every five years. Johnson has done it every three.
Richt has gone to a BCS bowl every 3 1/3 years. Johnson has done it every three.

I wasn’t too upset by the loss this weekend…Tech ran the ball at will. Mistakes killed us. Washington, as many young QBs do, showed his inexperience at the worst times. I’m talking about the pitch that he shouldn’t have made that turned into a UGA TD and the awful passing on the final two possessions.
Outside of those plays, however, he played a heck of a game. The future is bright. If only the defense can improve, Tech will be a force next year.
Let’s win our bowl and go out on a high note, and get ready to roll next year.

And for everyone so intent on badmouthing Johnson for not kicking the field goal early on, that was NOT an automatic 3 points.
Yes, the points obviously would have made a big difference, but that would have been a 40-yarder and that is about the max range of our kicker.
If you don’t like the idea of taking chances in those situations then you don’t like Johnson anyway (and many of you don’t). I for one love his attitude.
It would be great to have great kickers and punters (like Georgia seems to have every year), but recently we haven’t been so fortunate to have automatic points from 50 yards in.

Average Wonderlic scores in the NFL
From Wikipedia.org
This assessment roughly corresponds to examples from Paul Zimmerman’s The New Thinking Man’s Guide to Pro Football. According to Zimmerman, examples of average scores include for each position,
Offensive Tackle – 26
Center – 25
Quarterback – 24
Guard – 23
Tight End – 22
Safety – 19
Linebacker – 19
Cornerback – 18
Wide receiver – 17
Fullback – 17
Halfback – 16
Perfect scores
Pat McInally is the only football player to record a confirmed perfect score of 50. Ryan Fitzpatrick, a Harvard University graduate like McInally, has also been rumored to have scored a perfect score of 50 [1]. However, he later claimed to have left at least one of the 50 answer spaces blank [2], leading the media to question his perfect score.[2]. However, the Wall Street Journal reported that Fitzpatrick’s actual score was 38 (still considered excellent), but that the figure of nine minutes is accurate.
Average scores for ordinary people
While an average football player usually scores around 20 points, The Wonderlic, Inc claims a score of at least 10 points suggests a person is literate [3]. Furthermore, when the test was given to miscellaneous people of various professions, it was observed that the average participant scored a 24. Examples of scores from everyday professions included,

Ball or Blair for president

Extra point or not… UGA had a great run back, drove the field (again), and would have scored whether you like it or not with even less time on the clock. Even though you didn’t have your starting quarter you got beat by a freshman quarterback who is only going to get better…

How about all of you UGAG morons head over to a UGAG blog and talk about the “dominant” game you guys had against an undermanned GT team. Yes if you don’t believe the geme would’ve been different if #9 had played then you are as dumb as Ealey celebrating after getting handed a TD. CPJ will out coach Richt everytime. Richt is like the players he recruits…dumb as a box of rocks. We had 500+ yards of total offense, we held the ball for nearly a complete quarter over Georgia and with 4 turnovers turned into points for UGAG and 3 take aways turned into zero points for the Jackets and oh yeah a sure footed Blair misses an extra point. So, in conclusion you guys were outplayed, outcoached and as always outclassed. Enjoy the W you bunch of uneducated hillbillies because I hope Murray can carry the team next year because there is no other real talent on the UGAG sideline after AJ(Sell My Jersey) Green flees to the NFL where he will surely be out of the league in 3 years for some king of felony conviction!

If this keeps up this so called rivalry will look like Vanderbilt and Tennessee. You can’t build a program on moral victories. We got beat–again. We have a better head coach but we don’t have better players. This bleeding has to stop soon or we will be lucky to have 35 thousand show up on home games. Gosh, this hurts.

TO ALL TECH FANS….RELAX
Even Texas had a bad year this year. It happens. All I’m saying is look at what we have coming back next year versus what UGA has coming back. Who the hell is Murray going to throw to? I like our odds.

As I recall, late in the game, one point behind, Tech went for a tying extra point and missed. If I called the plays, we may not have won, but we would not have missed the extra point. Instead, I would have tried a two point play. I yelled for that when we lined up for the extra point, but the coach couldn’t hear me.
