Live blog: Georgia Tech-Maryland
Greetings –
A few thoughts on Georgia Tech-Maryland.
1. Obviously, how Maryland quarterback Shawn Petty can do is going to have a large impact on the outcome. Look for Georgia Tech to stick just about everybody in the box.
2. Tevin Washington will start. I’d guess both play a lot in the first half.
3. Kind of breezy. That could mean less passing than normal for both sides. This game could be over in 2:45.
4. Don’t know if you saw it, but Miami may self-impose a bowl ban to pacify the NCAA. Story from the Sun-Sentinel here. If that happens – Miami won’t make an announcement until it becomes bowl eligible – it would mean that if Tech wins today and Virginia Tech loses this Thursday to Florida State, the Jackets would control their own destiny in the Coastal Division. Crazy.
5. Tiny crowd. Maryland won’t get much of a lift at home, it doesn’t appear.

PJ feels so bad for Maryland that he has offered to let them borrow Tevin for the second half.

Why on Earth would you kick a 45 yard field goal when the dude had trouble with XP? It was the right call. We got a bad spot.

Anyone hear that Tech’s looking at Lance Thompson as the next D-coordinator? Great recruiter, and big time ties through from his Bama years.

PREseason basketball rankings by ESPN the Magazine.
Uga 116
Mercer 119
Ga State 124
Ga Tech 126
and 10th in ACC.
I’d like to put some money we’ll do better than that.
After top 50, it doesn’t look like they put much thought into it.
What state did I forget?
I’ll put them 116 to 126.

Kick the FG, White&Gold, so when you’re lining-up for a 44yd FG to win the Sun Bowl you’ve got a kicker that’s “been there before”

First time Tech has completed more passes than the opponent in a half in about 5 years probably.

UGA’s win last week is looking less and less impressive. Florida’s down 7-0 at half against Missouri at home.
If do right, no can defense

I’m glad we got a laugher and aren’t beating each other up for a change.
I’d rather be up by a little more.
Why can’t GT ever block a damn punt?
We always get the penalty.
And by the way, on the road, we aren’t going to get the correct call unless it is really obvious.

Ken, ask about Maryland’s uniforms. There has to be some explanation. Really like GT’s uniforms .

Ken – how’s the energy on the sideline at the game?

Good defense in this half, though with such a terrible offense need to take that with a boulder of salt. I think CPJ should use the Harbaugh formula to win more games:
1. Run the ball
2. Play sound defense
3. Manage turnovers
#2 is our biggest problem, obviously.

On the other end of the spectrum, Tennessee is losing to Troy, 30-28 … At halftime.

Whoa. The A&M-Miss St game is in Starkville. Dan Mullen should ask Paul Johnson what happens when you get blown out on your own field. Yikes.

Poor Dooley.
They beat LSU his first year if the D coor just doesn’t send in the subs and get the too many on the field penalty that gives LSU one last chance.
Maybe Tennessee becomes better but I doubt it.
No coach ever has gotten away with so much stupidity as Les Miles.

i confess i hadn’t been paying attention to the sideline. i’ll try to see what it’s like in the second half.
