Tech notes on Duke, bowls, UGA
Greetings-
Some notes and observations from Durham and a brief look ahead to Saturday’s game.
1. It was one of Tevin Washington’s best games this season. He made plays both running and passing and got the ball pitched to the A-backs for a few big plays. He had that 39-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter in which he shook off a couple tackles to get to the end zone.
I haven’t asked Paul Johnson or Brian Bohannon about this, and perhaps I should, but he’s shown a knack for getting off pitches at the very last instant, as he’s going down, to free up the A-backs.
“I think it was really Tevin reading,” Embry Peeples said, explaining the alleys he had for his runs. “They were trying to slow play him (force him to keep the ball), but he could kind of get close enough to them where they had to attack and he could just kick it out.”
A great stat from Tech sports information guru Dean Buchan: Washington’s 321 yards of total offense were the most by a Tech player since a 367-yard game in 2005 by Reggie Ball.
2. Duke quarterback Sean Renfree had season highs for a Georgia Tech opponent with 26 completions on 42 attempts and four touchdowns. His 250 yards were shy of Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd’s 295. Boyd was 23-for 40.
Tech did not sack Renfree, continuing a pattern of not getting consistent pass-rush pressure. Renfree made it hard by getting rid of the ball quickly, but there were instances when he took longer drops and had protection. He was hurried a few times and flushed from the pocket.
In the past four games, opponents have 121 pass attempts and have been sacked three times, a 40.3 pass-per-sack rate. In Tech’s first seven games, opponents threw 203 times and Tech had 16 sacks, or a sack for every 12.7 passes.
I realize the numbers don’t say everything. A quarterback pressure that leads to an interception is far more valuable than a sack, for instance. And Tech’s sack total through seven games is weighted with a seven-sack game against North Carolina. But, it says something.
3. Tech’s loss to Virginia looks a little better with the Cavaliers’ defeat of Florida State Saturday night in Tallahassee. Virginia will play for the Coastal title next Saturday against Virginia Tech. It’s funny; before the Tech-Virginia Tech game, everyone (and I include myself) basically said that the game was for the Coastal title, assuming Virginia was going to take a third conference loss at some point. It wouldn’t surprise me if Virginia were to win Saturday in Charlottesville. It’d be the first time the Coastal representative hasn’t been Tech or Virginia Tech in the game’s history, going back to 2006. Four schools (Boston College, Wake Forest, Florida State and Clemson) have come fro the Atlantic side.
Crazy ending to that game. After Virginia drove late to go up 17-16, Florida State got the ball back with a minute left. On the last possession, there was an injury to a Virginia player that required him to be taken off on a cart, a facemask penalty on fourth down that kept alive FSU’s drive, a pass completion that appeared to end the game but was judged an incompletion on replay, giving the Seminoles a chance to try a last-second field goal, a penalty on Virginia that moved the field-goal attempt five yards and then finally the field goal itself, which hooked left.
Mostly, I was thinking that I was glad I didn’t have to write that game story on deadline. That would have been brutal.
4. I think both Clemson and Florida State’s losses improve Tech’s chances of playing in either the Chick-fil-A or Champs Sports bowls. I think it goes without saying that any bowl wants to put the best game together that it can, because, among other things, it likely means better ratings and fan bases that are excited enough about their teams and their bowl game to buy tickets.
If the Tigers and Seminoles crash and burn next Saturday against South Carolina and Florida, respectively, and Tech pulls the upset of Georgia, I don’t know if it’d be probable that Tech would end up in one of those games, but I’d say at least their chances would be pretty good. If Clemson were to lose in the ACC title game, that’d be a three-game losing streak, the Tigers would be out of the polls and Tech would be the highest-ranked team of Tech, FSU and Clemson. It’s conceivable Virginia might be a more viable option for the bowls at that point.
A lot is still up in the air, though. Virginia is finishing strong. Virginia Tech, if it beats Virginia but then loses to Clemson in the title game, is always a popular choice for the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
At this point, I’d think the Sun Bowl is still the most likely destination, but a lot can and will change things.
5. Except for the kickoff return unit, special teams was pretty good. The kickoff cover team kept Duke inside the 30 four out of six times and David Scully had his fourth touchback of the season.
Justin Moore made his fourth consecutive field goal and continued his PAT streak to 52.
6. An encouraging effort by B-back Charles Perkins in his stint filling in for Preston Lyons, save the fourth-quarter fumble Didn’t break any big plays, but he got four first-down runs and looked like he was running hard. I’m not sure how to tease out the numbers, but I’ll give the principal B-backs 905 yards (the 794 that Sims and Lyons had going into the game plus the 111 Sims and Perkins gained Saturday) for the season. (That wouldn’t count yards gained by Perkins and Richard Watson previously. It’s kind of nebulous, I realize.) With two games remaining, it would appear that they’ll be able to clear 1,000 yards to continue the B-back 1,000-yard streak, perhaps with ease.
7. Tech benefited from a holding penalty against Duke on the Blue Devils’ final drive of the game. It was just the fourth time this season that a Tech opponent’s offense has been called for a hold this season.
8. Two important objectives for Tech this week.
a) Find a way to stop Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray. If the pass rush doesn’t improve, the onus will be on Louis Young, Jemea Thomas and their cadre to deliver. Georgia tight end Orson Charles looks like a matchup challenge.
b) Punch up the B-back production some more. The 111 yards and two touchdowns Sims and Perkins gained were a good start. (The 25 carries, the most this season for the position by one, helped.) Against the No. 2 run defense in the country – 81.3 yards per game, 2.8 yards per carry – Tech will need as many viable options as it can have.
9. Condolences to the family of Larry Munson. He is a legend in this state and in college football and is an indelible part of the Tech-Georgia rivalry.
10. Tech and Georgia fans – let’s be civil this week. Good-natured ribbing is fine, but if you want to be obscene, disrespectful and generally unpleasant, you aren’t welcome to post and I’ll do my best to make sure you can’t. No tolerance this week. I’ll be busy this week, so it might take me a few hours to get to it, but I’ll ban with pleasure those who can’t play nice. “He started it” and “I couldn’t let those remarks go without a response” are not legitimate excuses.

Looking forward to a good game this week. I’m a bit nervous if we don’t have healthy IC in the backfield or Carlton back from suspension. I’m a Dawg fan, brother in law is a tech fan, so this week is always fun going back and forth with him. Going to be out there early tailgating for sure. I hate these noon kickoffs!

Washington made a sweet move on a fake pitch, took it to the house.
Perkins looked real good, even had a nice catch, hope he gets more time because he will break one soon. I think he would do better being a feature back, kind that need a few carries to get rolling.

Tech had a successful “business trip” to Durham. Like that theme.
Ken – is Attaochu good to go this week? I don’t remember seeing him come back in the game after going down on the sideline late in the Duke game.
Dawgs look formidable now. Jackets have a great opportunity to beat a good team and possible SEC Champion.
Although I despise Bobby Petrino, it would be interesting if the Hogs beat LSU Friday and Auburn wins the Iron Bowl. Dawgs and Hogs play for the SEC championship. Would love to see all those media talking heads make their case for keeping Bama/LSU whoever in the BCS Title game.
Despite the local sentiment, the BCS title game should never have two teams from the same conference. Never.
Maybe VA Tech wins out and sneaks in.

“Clean Old Fashioned Hate” week begins with the sad passing of Larry Munson. For all the UGA fans who decide to visit the Tech blogs this week, I offer my deepest condolences on Munson’s passing … he was a legend and truly one of a kind.
Let’s get after it GT … UGA is playing good ball right now and they are big, fast and will be hitting hard. Buckle down, focus on fundamentals of OUR game and let’s take care of business. GO JACKETS!!

Ken – Didn’t get to see the UVA loss live. Watched it a few days later. Thought UVA played really well and was a good football team. Turns out they are. Credit to Coach London and his staff for getting them on track.
The ending of the FSU game was crazy. I though coach London was going to have a heart attack at the end with seemingly everything going the Noles way. Agonizing review on the last incompletion ruling.
Like it that he didn’t call timeout to “freeze” the FSU kicker. That tactic seems to backfire more often with good kickers.

I saw holds by Duke on several plays before the one that was finally called. Most notably, Duke’s first touchdown should have been called back due to a holding penalty – Tech’s DE was tackled (from behind) after getting past the blocker. I’m not sure why Tech rarely gets holding calls.

It is funny to me that Tech, along with their fans, spend 365 days a year worried, focusing on and planning for UGA, while UGA only spends a few hours a few days a year on the cheats and more times than not wins. That has to really hurt, say cheats?

We can hope the Dawgs are frying fish this week, like Tech in 09. I still think turnovers tell the story this week. UGA has made a few that would cost them against a good team. Some weeks we are a good team, some weeks we’re not. We seem to have to outscore teams, except for the Clemson game. Athlete for athlete, I think GA is better than we are. A lot of IF’s in this game. IF we play defense, IF the backs hold the ball, IF we can avoid stupid penalties….If I was a betting man, which I’m not, I would take UGA and lay the points. But I’m a fan, and I would like to see us put a game on the dawgs. If we do, we can win.

I gotta be honest….. We haven’t beaten a team that is worth a crap this year, on the other hand gt should be 2-0 against top 10 teams. The reason they are not is because of a bonehead play. Tech looks much better then we do and I don’t have a good feelIng about sat.

It amazes me that some folks seem to know so little about football. Like the difference between a cut block and a chop block. And making derisive comments about a “high school offense” that regularly mauls your SEC defense. UGA has won this game more lately because our defense is worse than your defense, and we have made more costly turnovers at really bad times. That’s all. Hope that’s not the case this week. Dawg defense seems better than our defense. That may tell the tale of the game.

I guess none of you mutt trolls have read any of the UGAG coverage in today’s AJC. There is a story about how close UGAG came to having Paul Johnson for it’s Head Football Coach. It seems that Dooley recommended Erk Russell for his replacement after his retirement. VD told the board conducting the search that Erk likely wouldn’t be there but 4-5 years due to his age and would likely bring his former Offensive Coordinator, Paul Johnson with him. PJ was then at Hawaii. VD said he would welcome Paul Johnson as Erk’s replacement as HC. He would like to see PJ’s “high school” offense running rampant thru the SEC as DO coaches tried to stop it. Well, in their infinite wisdom, the genius hiring board brought in the infamous Ray Goff instead. Anybody with A brain no bigger that a pea knew that would be a disaster. Go read it for yourselves mutts. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA as ya’ll enjoy saying so much. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JACKETS THWG

Record wise, Georgia Tech is the toughest team UGA has had to play since the Boise and South Carolina games.
Its hard to say how good UGA really is. Here is a list of the teams that the teams UGA has beaten:
1) Ole Miss = 2-9
Coastal Carolina = 7-4 FCS team
2) Miss St = 5-6
3) Tenn = 5-6
4) Vandy = 5-6
5) Florida = 6-5
6) Auburn = 7-4
7) Kentucky = 4-7
7) New Mexico St. = 4-7
Here is the list of non-SEC East teams that those teams have beaten:
(not including Coastal Carolina’s wins because they are FCS)
Southern Illinois
Fresno St.
Memphis
Louisiana Tech
UAB
Tennessee-Martin
Montana
Cincinnati
Buffalo
Middle Tennessee
Elon
UCONN
Ole Miss
Army
Fl Atlantic
Utah St
Miss St.
Minnesota
New Mexico
Idaho
Western Kentucky
Central Michigan
Jacksonville St.
Furman
Samford
UCONN and Cincy would seem to be the headliners, and they aren’t that great themselves.
This doesn’t mean UGA is bad, it just means we don’t know if they are good. Their opponents sure have not been good.
It will be interesting to see if UGA’s #2 rushing defense is for real or a product of their schedule when they play GIT.

By the way, I’m a Tech fan all my life, but Larry Munson was the BEST. Nobody else was close. UGA was blessed to have him. What an experience listening to him. He was not only a UGA treasure, but a king to all of us who love college football. We will never hear his kind again, and we will all miss him. Godspeed, Larry.

Wouldnt have surprised you if it were only 1 point spread???????? Are you on crack or just plain stupid?? Your signature win is against an ACC team, FYI ACC blows and clemson should never have been in the top ten.

To be fair, here is how Tech’s schedule shaped up…
1) Western Carolina = 1-10 FCS Team
Duke = 3-8
2) Middle Tennessee = 2-8
3) Kansas = 2-9
4) North Carolina = 6-5
5) NC State = 6-5
6) Maryland = 2-9
7) Clemson = 9-2
Here is the list of Non-ACC Coastal Teams those teams have beaten:
(Not inlcuding Western Carolina’s wins because they are FCS)
Memphis
Florida Atlantic
McNeese St.
Northern Illinois
James Madison
Rutgers
East Carolina
Louisville
Wake Forest
Liberty
South Alabama
Central Michigan
Clemson
Towson
Troy
Wofford
Auburn
Florida State
Boston College
Maryland
Tulane

Headliners = Auburn, FL State, Clemson
Overall, its just about the same story as UGA. Tech played a couple more really bad teams, but also had a signature win over Clemson.

Stopping the run is the key. I like our chances more if IC doesn’t play. Our biggest weakness is stopping a power running game. Murray likes to throw the ball downsield – not the quick short passes that Duke used to give us trouble. The more passes Murray throws the better our chances.
BTW – I guess our normal trolls from the Land of MUtt were wrong about the point spread.
Sorry to hear about Munson. Makes me think of Al Ciraldo and “Toe Meets Leather”.

True Dawg Fan,
Which 11 teams on that list would you include?
Ole Miss, Missippi St, Kentucky, Vandy, Tennessee, New Mexico St, and Coastal Carolina are all really more talented than Tech?
I’d say Tech is more in line with the talent on the Auburn and Florida teams.
The national polls would seem to agree considering that Tech is currently ranked higher than any teams that UGA has beaten this year. They also were at one point higher in the polls than any of those teams made it at any point this year.

Dawg here headed to the confines of Grant Field with my Tech buddies kind enough to provide tickets. Yes the Dawgs are indeed an enigma, thrashing a decent Auburn team and looking pedestrian against supposedly pedestrian opponents. Perhaps the most telling game was the USC loss. UGA outplayed USC (as sayeth the HBC), but the miscues turned into a bucketload of 7s for the Cocks. I believe that same formula will be GT’s chance to win. If we cough the ball up, make ST miscues and don’t play assignment D (a la second half of 2008) then all bets are off and Tech could win handily. Pound for pound though, UGA should take this one.

As usual, it will depend on which Tech team shows up – the good Tech or the bad Tech. That, of couse, means good Tevin or bad Tevin, good Stephen Hill or bad Stephen Hill, good blocking or bad blocking, good coverage or bad coverage, good punting or bad punting…
For Tech to win, Tech must play like it played against Clemson and Georgia must play like it played against Kentucky.

If you can get past calling me a puppy, I will tell you that I have described that scenario over here on this blog. I actually said that if it had happened, we would have multiple BCS titles by now because the TO with UGA talent=Oklahoma/Nebraska of the 1980’s.
The school made a huge mistake. But then again, the GA Southern dynasty would have never happened.

@Jason, I would hardly believe that TALENT wise, tech is on par with Auburn and Florida. The polls indicate nothing as they continually put teams up there that play out of conference albeit come bowl season or rivalry week and tend to get beat up. I wouldn’t even put tech’s backfield talent up there with Chris Relf and Vick Ballard of MSU. Like I said, the polls are absolutely the most worthless part of college football. I think your initial research has turned up some good facts on both teams but until conferences like the Big 10 and ACC start producing more in the bowl season, I can’t see putting them up with the SEC in terms of comparing teams based on records alone.
All this being said, I am hoping for a good game, a clean game, a fun game. I think UGA wins in fairly close game (adjusted score from earlier today) 24-17… Good luck (sort of) Jacket fans and lets attempt to keep these teams healthy in the process.

Most of us Dawgs also understand that the SEC was a vastly different league back then where running the ball 2.5 times more than passing it was the norm. Now it’s a different story. Defenses have shored up the front lines and work towards stopping the run a lot more. Now, as for 1 4 GT’s statement about Ray Goff. I COULDN’T POSSIBLY AGREE MORE. That hire was doomed from the start. I wasn’t exactly fired up about replacing him with Jim Donnan either but they never asked me. Heck, Dooley’s offense back then was Herschel left, Herschel right, Herschel up the middle, Belue 3 yards across the middle. CPJ’s offense back then may have caused some migraines.

I tend to think DawginLex would have been right about multiple BCS titles. I think, based on what I read in the story, that Vince wanted it to happen in a big way. We’ll never know, unless CPJ has so much success at GT that some school with the record of a ND or A Bamalamadingdong knocked on his door, or he succeeds st winning a few BCS titles at GT.

Supersize – I did not omit VT and UVA. GT did not beat either of them. I did not include Boise St or South Carolina on UGA’s list because they didn’t beat them.
Its one thing to play a tougher schedule. It’s another thing to beat the teams on a tougher schedule. Something which GT only did once, and UGA did not do at all.
UGA tough games = Boise St. & South Carolina
Tech tough games = Clemson, Virginia Tech
I’d put Auburn and Florida on par with North Carolina, Miami and Virginia this year. (Many may disagree about UVA, but they’re a much better team than they have been in years past and they are getting better)

TampaDawg – Comparing TALENT is awfully hard since the talent of a team running a system is different than the talent of individuals abilities. Do I believe that Auburn probably has better athletes? Sure. But you have to be able to utilize those abilities in your system. Auburn’s talent was pretty much summed up in two players last year – Cam and Nick Fairly. Can Auburn get the athletes to get back to where they’ve been, or will they go back to being like they were in the pre-Gene Chizk era? Its awfully hard to say.
As for Florida, I don’t dispute that they have better athletes either. However, Florida seems to really struggle on offense, and hasn’t really seemed to be able to translate that athleticism into a system that works well. Will Florida even be bowl eligible this year?
So, my point is that Tech is better at utilizing its talent than those two teams, and are therefore more talented TEAMS. Not a more talented collection of individual athletes, but a more talented team. (And of course, I’m only talking about this year.)

I love the “Florida is the worst UF team in 30 years” line. That comes from someone who knows nothing about Florida football or the rivalry itself. That’s still a top defense with great speed. I didn’t think the Muschamp and Weiss hirings would pan out at all but then again the Florida faithful thought I was nuts.
And Auburn, their defense is bad, but no way could any defense outside of FSU in the ACC stop Dyer and McCalebb. Barrett Trotter was the best player for Clemson when they played Auburn. Unfortunately, Barrett Trotter actually plays for Auburn.
Now, as for “The Institute’s” notion that UVA would destroy Florida and Auburn as well as UNC and Miami, if that nonsense makes you feel better then keep running it. But it never gets proven come bowl season now does it? UVA? Florida would beat UVA by 2 TDs based solely on defense alone.

I’m not saying that UGA is a bad team. They could very well be deserving of their current record. I also believe that UGA has shown good improvement over last year. The stupid penalities and critical turnovers have decreased.
What I am saying is that it is really too early to tell where UGA really stands based on their schedule. We should find out really quickly based on the Tech, SEC Champ. Game, and Bowl game as UGA’s schedule is about to get much harder than it has been for the last 9 weeks.

@Jason, again, good points. But first, Florida is already bowl eligible this year. Second, yeah, they have struggled on offense, but there is no way teams like UVA, Wake, NC State, Maryland, Duke, Boston College, and Miami beat Florida or Auburn. Heck, most of them would have trouble with Tennessee on a neutral field or especially in Knoxville. For proof of that, see last years bowl against a much tougher UNC team than this years.

Tech’s offense seems to shift from unstoppable to unbearably bad from time to time regardless of the opponent. The NC State and VT games are prime examples of that. Tech’s O looked awful against UVA, Miami, and Marland. Then looked incredible against Clemson, North Carolina, and a few others.

However, I do think that these teams could beat Auburn or Florida if they were to play this year:
Clemson (did beat Auburn)
North Carolina
Miami – wildly inconsistent, but capable
You seem to think that I’m saying that Tech has played a tougher schedule. I’m not. I’m just saying that both team’s records are indicative of the schedule that they’ve played. For Tech, we’ve seen that they are capable of beating top 15 type teams, but are not consistent in doing so (see Clemson and VT). For UGA, we only have 2 games to compare to top 15 type teams (South Carolina and Boise St.) and it hasn’t really panned out too well for them.

Bamajacket, I agree with a lot of what you’re saying. I just think that until teams like NC State, UVA, Miami prove they can beat out of conference teams from other big conferences on a consistent basis, it’s hard for me to acknowledge them beating teams like Florida or Auburn. As I said, when Clemson comes to play, they can play. But they are not capable of overcoming any adversity. Miami for crying out loud beat a bad USF team (and I get to see them play live, I know they are way down this year) 6-3. No chance they beat more than 2 or 3 SEC teams. UVA is about an average team at best and sure, if they play lights out, they can play too. Last I checked their kids earned scholarships like all the others. But to walk into an environment where SEC teams get tested week after week and win? I wouldn’t bet a buffalo nickel on them.

Jason, I don’t think Miami could beat Vandy. That’ #20 defense accumulated that ranking playing teams like SC (with Lattimore and Garcia), Bama, Arkansas and UGA. That defense is real and only those who have never seen them are thinking it’s the same old Vandy. I think Miss State and Tennessee are maybe’s at best. They ran up only 2 field goals against USF, a team that Cincinnati moved the ball at will against (at that game, that was hard to watch on defense). No way they beat Florida and Auburn. Even a bad Auburn defense can stop a Miami team that can’t put it in the end zone against USF this year.

If we can get pressure on Murray and at least handle their run game, we should have a very good shot at winning the state championship(funny how i think my school, Georgia Southern, would run all over you flea ridden poodle lovers, can’t wait to see the yardage Tech puts up on your “defense”).

…that the Chicken Bowl gets the ACC’s #2 team – that would be Clemson if they lose to SC and the ACC Champ game – it would be Va Tech if they beat UVA and lose the ACC game; and it would be UVA if they beat VPI and lose the ACC game – but, if Va Tech beats UVA and loses to Clemson, then it has been said in other places that they will still get the Sugar Bowl – so, that might put GT in the Chicken Bowl, and most bowls already have ACC or SEC or Big10 tie ins, so it matters not who may want ” the best match-ups” -
The real loser in all these games is the Orange Bowl – they may end up with a 3 loss Clemson team vs a Big East team that is not even in the Top 35…..

@Will Miss larry .. Biggest problem for UGA against UK was that after the 2nd play on offense, they were down to Boo Malcome and Brandon Harton running the ball. That could be an issue regardless of who we play. On defense though, the linebackers are so fast whether it’s Jarvis Jones, Alec Ogletree, Christian Robinson, Michael Gilliard, Amando Herrera or whoever. That core is extremely good and make the 3-4 work much better than it did last year (last year, Ogletree was lined up at safety, there was no Jarvis Jones, Kwame Geathers had no help at NT, Herrera wasn’t there and the scheme was new to all of them). All the linebackers play their gaps and UGA shuts down the TO. If people are missing their gaps, I may need someone to pass the salt for the crow sandwich.
And I have heard it for the past 3 weeks about the schedule (really only that long because until then, people just kept talking abuot how UGA would lose week after week until finally, that rant couldn’t be said anymore) and the teams UGA played. But I was told on this very blog when GT ran up 600 plus yards of offense on Kansas, a REALLY BAD Kansas team, that 600 yards is awesome no matter who it is in FBS. So how is it different when you look at UGA’s defensive stats?
17.8 points per game
263.5 yards per game
15 interceptions
81 rushing yards per game

Supersize, you’re correct. The exasperating thing about watching this Tech team play, is, that because of the high risk nature of their offense, they can be fabulous, as in Clemson, and mistake-prone (pick a game). UGA defense seems better. Our defense is schitzo. We could have won the last two. Thomas drops a pass, and last year, my God, could we have done more wrong? UGA plays this game with more confidence historically, and EXPECTS to win. No different this year. They usually find a way to win. If we execute, and …..hell, whoever executes better will win. They’res really not that much difference between the two teams. If, if, if….we need to play a solid game, and win the darn thing.

FACT – ACC is 11-11 vs. SEC head to head over last 3 years, including 3 wins in a row.
The SEC has two elite teams per year. That is the only difference in the conferences right now and causes the vast over-perception of dominance by the media and ignorant fans. Teams 4-12 are a wash, but the ACC needs a national championship caliber contender or two to reach their level.

George, I’m with you. At the time I thought winning the ACC was more important, but I don’t now. I would rather beat the dawgs than be in the running for the BCS NC. Of course, I guess the latter wouldn’t be possible without the former, so let’s do both. LOL

Tampa, I would bet that if you lost to Tech and beat LSU, you would have the same empty feeling that George Stein said he had. And on top of that, you would have to listen to Tech fans proclaim for a solid year that we are the real SEC champion, just like you UGA fans did to us two years ago. I can promise you, you will not like that, nor will any of the other UGA fans.

But I want this game badly for a few reasons. First, it means no more nine of ten talk. Richt will be trading punches with Johnson. Secondly, it ensures we NEVER hear about 2009 again because they won’t want to think about the season we returned the favor.

That’s great Josh. We know that Techies don’t think as highly of the SEC as everyone else. This is not news. Anything associated with UGA is immediately downgraded in the mind of a Tech fan. We understand that. But what I don’t understand is what the point of it all is. Let’s assume that UGA and the SEC are as overrated as you say. What does it have to do with Georgia Tech? If UGA is overrated Georgia Tech sure as hell hasn’t been able to do too much about that now have they? One win in 10 freaking years clown. So again, what are you trying to accomplish? It just doesn’t make any sense. I don’t understand you Techies and probably never will. You aren’t the brightest lot. That’s for sure.
Thanks.

Supersize, I think that’s because we are in the same position relative to UGA that they are in with FLA. The rivalry always takes on more importance when you need to win a few. GA has had our number. It looks really stupid trash talking when you get your butt kicked 3 out of 4 years. I’m not a big trash talker anyway, but I’m embarrassed for some of these guys. Just shut up and play football.

I wish it could always be like this, and I wish it could be like this at the game too. But too many fans of each school, and I probably should include myself too to some degree, just get way too carried away and obnoxious at the games. Hell I went to a Tech-Clemson game at Clemson one year which Tech lost, and nobody bothered me the entire day, before, during, or after the game. It’s definitely not like that way when Tech and Georgia play, whether in Atlanta or Athens.

November 21st, 2011
5:39 pm
it helps recruiting
it helps the program
it helps with my mood
it shuts most of the dawgs up until next fall
it helps us get considered for a better bowl
this year a win would give us 2 wins against top 15 teams. we could claim the sec east title ( the dawgs always use that smack against us) and it helps give us needed momentum into our bowl.
if we play a ranked team in a bowl and win it helps us end the season on a high note by giving us a ranking in the top 15. this has to affect the signing of our most important recruits in feb.
nope the uga game is important make no mistake about it,
the dawgs wont admit it but the fact that so many of them live on our blogs shows that this game is more important to them than they want to admit. ask vince the cheat dooley how important beating gt ‘at any cost’ in every sport is?

Of course a win would be great the main thing GT cannot afford is a beat down. If GT losses, but by a TD or less then wins thier bowl game it will be an easier sell to recruits. If a coach can show what he can do with mid 40 classes I would hope he could sell some recruits on what he could do with a higher class.

This is one of my favorite games of the year. I love Atlanta, think that GF@BDS is a great college football venue and atmosphere, and am jacked that both UGA and GT have had very good seasons and that this game this year is significant outside of GA.
UGA must, and I think will, roll on GT. UGA needs a big win for momentum and to build the national story line for the SEC CG. IMO the only thing that can stop UGA is special teams – specifically punt coverage and FGs, but it would appear that we are getting that back on track – UGA 41 GT 27

Holy cow Ken, thanks for pointing out that there have only been four holding calls against the opposing teams. That is impossible. I counted three or four against Duke that were not called.
Are they trying to speed games up or what? Brings back memories of Matt Ryan’s BC team his senior season on the flats. After the game one of their OL said their coaches told them to hold on every play(we had a stout DL that year) until they were called for holding. The player said the flags never came so they kept holding all night. Ryan ripped us apart!

Speaking of weather and bowls, one game I’ve usually watched each year is the Sun Bowl. First, I guess because it was one of about 15 bowls back then (only the Rose Bowl is older) and second, it’s a great game for TV there in El Paso with the mountain as the backdrop. Last year was weird, with snow on the mountains and on the field before the game.

Our DL is much better than last November and the LBs have been a huge surprise – the 3op is not new to our D anymore – IMO GT will need to bring some tricks to stay in this one.

Remember this: When you see a guy in a Tech cap this week, he went to Tech. When you see a guy in a UGA cap this week, he went to Walmart…
Well said Technically Correct! And True!

Thanks BlazerDawg, I think it will probably come down to special teams, and the Jackets are horrible in that area. Hope they prove me wrong.
Did anyone run a true option on Georgia this year? I guess Ms State runs a few option packages, right?

I am not convinved blazer that seeing twice will mean much, the way washington has improved, that and talent dosen’t mean everything, I think we can handle your d-line or misdirect it or at any rate nutralize it enough to make it less of a factor

You would never know that Tech just beat DUKE by a touchdown. So full of hope and unbridled confidence are the Techies. Its so cute.

Class? Oh, you mean this kind of class:
“Jeremiah Attaochu is looking forward. He’s not dwelling on the hateful messages that the Georgia Tech linebacker received on his Twitter and Facebook accounts or to the half-game suspension he received for punching Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas in the helmet.”
I bet it was the same Techie that was telling me to kill myself earlier. You stay CLASSY Techies.
Tech fans=JOKE.

DawgFan ragging TECH about beating DUKE by a small margin. Hate to tell you, but DUKE would take KY to the woodshed, a team the pups struggled with. Hope the DAWGS bring the same level of arrogance to the flats that you have , bud.
And you don't call that psychotic???

Saturday’s game will be a nail biter. Do you notice Ga. Southern using the option offense to ring up over 300 yards rushing against Bama. The Eagles also helped the Bama players to get up after knocking them down..
Arkansas will not be able to play Georgia even if they beat LSU. With a 3 way tie, the BCS standing decides who will play Georgia, and that will be Bama.

cro-WELL will last about three plays before heading for the sidelines for the rest of the game. UGA Defense has yet to stop the triple option and won’t do it this year either. Tech will win 56 to 35. The Johnson “Death Marches” will keep UGA off the field most of the 4th quarter. Then Tebow time for Washington!

Tevin threw horrible passes vs. Duke. Off his 13 attempts, I think only 1 was a decent throw (C. Perkins wh eel route up right sideline in 2nd half). A good throw and CP might take it the distance?
Dave Archer (color man for the game) said it few times that TW throws a bad ball. His 6 of 13 could’ve easily been 8 of 13 (overthrow of wide open EP – probaly a TD, and the balloon ball to RJ – another 30-50 yd play).
2nd play of the game he’s got Hill running away from the DB and TW launches a balloon ball that gets broken up by DB.
UGA’s got way better DBs than Duke. Can PJ please be sandbaggin the Dawgs the past 2 weeks!
UGA’s passing attack has gotta be licking it’s chops. UGA live on slants, posts, crossing routes….just what GT’s D can’t seem to stop since PJ’s been in charge.
