Tech-North Carolina live blog

Welcome

A few notes, nothing of grave substance.

1. Tevin Washington will start. I’d guess Vad Lee will make his appearance in the third possession.

2. How Georgia Tech defends Giovani Bernard bears watching. Tech is 4-1 when it allows 150 rushing yards or fewer, 0-4 when it doesn’t. First-down rushes, in particular, will be important. (You could also point out that Tech is 4-1 playing teams whose offenses aren’t very good, like Presbyterian, Boston College, Maryland and Virginia.)

3. UNC opponents are 10-for-12 on field goals. Perhaps it’ll rub off.

Enjoy the game.

You’re matching them punch for punch, Tech. Keep it up and steal it at the end. As a Nole fan, would love to see y’all (rather than Miami) in the ACCCG.

Better D … I’m guessing the the Bears’ D in ‘85 didn’t give up 40+ points once much less 4 times like GT has already done so I’ll go with the Bears’ D.

if this is how the tech d is going to play on fresh legs, it doesn’t bode well for the second half.

We need to just kick it out of bounds on kick offs. Better to give it to them on 35 than risk our kick coverage.

We may lose this game, but it sure won’t be because UNC had 2 weeks to prepare for Tech’s offense. They can’t stop it.

Fine catch there by Jackson. Where has this passing game been? And Sims takes it in–nice stretch on that TD. C’mon Tech, you can win this thing.

UNC’s interior DLmen started to get manhandled … nice! Bbacks starting to look like Dwyer/Allen now.

Should open up some big passing plays?

Nice job O … turned the TO into 7pts!

TW will probably come back in now, but I wish CPJ would leave Vad in, since he’s got some momentum going
