Georgia Tech-BYU live blog
A few notes for Georgia Tech-BYU
1. David Scully won’t play. Justin Moore will take field goals and extra points. Looks like maybe Chris Tanner will handle the kickoffs.
2. Tech is wearing white helmets, white jerseys, white pants. It’s the same combination worn for the Virginia Tech game.
3. At least by one metric, should Tech beat BYU, it’ll be its best win of the season. BYU is No. 30 in the Sagarin ratings. Boston College is No. 104, is No. 105 and Presbyterian is No. 241.
Clemson is No. 23, Virginia Tech is No. 51, Miami is No. 61, MTSU is No. 116.

How would MTSU fare against BYU?
Hopefully all the alumni present for HC will let DRad know how they feel about being decimated at a HC game.

You are right, gt joe, vad just short hopped one to a wide open receiver for a first down. Which is not as bad as an almost pick 6, I agree.
DID YOU SEE THAT??? VAD JUST TRIPPED!!!!! GAAHH!!! AND NOW A THREE AND OUT!!! WHO’S 3rd STRING????

I have been a Tech fan for almost 60 years. I actually love Johnson’s offensive philosophy and enjoy seeing it executed. But, I don’t remember seeing a team coached and prepared and playing defense any worse since the days of Bill Lewis. And, as badly recriuted on Defense.. Johnson needs to show some reason, as the “boss”, why he should’t be fired. Do the players like playing for him? or is his ‘macho’ approach his greatest strength but also his greatest weakness?

cmwalk, the problem isn’t the scheme. It’s motivation and execution. It’s still on CPJ, but the offense is strategically sound on the whiteboard.

If Paul doesn’t think his players have quit on him, then ok, why did you recruit such sorry players cause if they haven’t quit then their the worst of recruits I have ever seen.

Gt joe I’d like to think I’m not an idiot though i’m often told otherwise, I’m definitely not on crack, and I do see the talent difference. I just don’t think that tevin is the root of all evil. Right now I’d trade either for a decent defense.

U have to have players at this level, lxUn1c0, and Johnson CANNOT recruit. U can do some things with this silly O at Div1A and Div 2, but not in big boy football.

It’s really very simple. We don’t have the players to compete. The scheme doesn’t matter much ifyour athletes are div 2 caliber.

I’d trade Tevin for a decent defense too.
Vad tripped on his OLineman’s foot. Happens to every QB.

Tech fans left at halftime. It is homecoming and everyone left for the parties and to hang out. The BYU fans came for the game and stayed. The good thing about this season is that I didn’t get tickets again after “c”PJ brough Groh back for another year. Hopefully Drad will be gone before he gets to hire the next football coach. After he botched the basketball search and killed the volleyball program that used to make the tournament every year, I don’t want him making another hire. Let him stick to designing new facilities.

We are playing with more fire on D but they are just better in ALL AREAS Coaching included! GT doesn’t have players but I fault CPJ and the Gold tinted glasses crowd.For the last couple of years CPJ has been saying he doesn’t need to get those 4 and 5 Star players, he looks at players different. Inspite of National Recruiters having GT at the bottom of ACC Recruiting though we are in a State laden with talent., CPJ said he doesn’t pay any attention to the National recruiters.. Really? GT has to hire some guys who can reruit and overhaul th whole recruiting program Some guys who can close on recruits or this program will keep it’s downward spiral!

In 2 drives, Vad has more passing yards and rush yards than TW. And more points.
I’m actually excited for the rest of the season, knowing Tevin is done.

How was that last play not offensive pass interference? He threw it to the feet of a receiver that was physically restraining a defensive player from the ball (he was blocking him.)

1st time I was in Atlanta and DIDN’T go to a game. Used to get club seats. Didn’t renew this year and was, at one time, thinking about getting next year. Definitely will NOT. He is starting to do the damage to our football program that Hewitt did to our basketball program. It will take years to dig out of this very deep hole. We really, truly are not that good. Many more losses to come. And our bowl streak? Big deal. We’ve lost 7 in a row. Glad we won’t be going.

Go Jackets, you’re just flat-out wrong about recruiting. Look at the stats. Consistent improvement over Gailey. And our recruiting classes aren’t anywhere near as bad as we’re playing this season.
The problem is drive, confidence and execution. There are no leaders on this team. No one has stepped up to push their teammates to be better. No one is making hard-fought plays to carry the team on their back and change momentum.

I finally see the light…all you knowledgable Tech fans are right…Paul Johnson is a great coach. What an innovator, his play calling is incredible, his recruiting is out of this world. Heck, who else can recruit 2 star players like TW…he must run a 4.8 40 and his arm is unbelieveable. Many on you have been trying to tell me this…quotes I have seen on here like…he is stockpiling talent like nobody’s business…we are young team and just give him a few years…he is the best coach in the country, at any level. Tech fans are the brightest football fans in the country and you guys are always right on the money when it comes to what football is all about. I am so excited for the future of Tech football, no question we have the right man for the job and he is moving the program in the right direction. I mean the triple option offense is the most exciting offense to watch…bar none and this defense…good gracious don’t even get me started…so much speed on that side of the ball and such good tacklers…Al Groh was just a bad coach. Tech football rules!

@Smittyderf: The “racists” are the schools (and their fans) who refuse to recruit talented white players simply because of their skin color…….watching the Georgia/Florida game today is like watching a HBSU contest……one white part time defensive player on either side of the ball. Meanwhile the Houston Texans have one of the best defenses in the NFL with J.J. Watt, Connor Barwin, etc. playing defense……..just sayin’
