3 TDs by the offense in the last 3 games against D1A opponents. That’s not going to cut it. If CPJ’s offense is going to work there will have to be a CONSISTENT passing threat, and right now they don’t have that.

Your high school offense is just what it is, a high school offense. This is college football. Nesbitt looks so uncomfortable dropping back to pass. Ouch!

I’m not concerned about CPJ and his offense. He’s been doing this too long and has had too much success to doubt him. He’s seen every possible way to defend this “O” over the twenty-plus years he’s run it. He’ll adjust and get it clicking again soon.

It’s the “D” that concerns me. A weak line (other than 91), no pass rush and no pass coverage isn’t a good combination. I had my doubts about Womack last year. This year I have even more.

I Amazed (get it) to all of the talk that everyone has figured out the Tech offense. I’m not Tech fan but reading comments on some of the blogs is embrassing. No matter what offense you run you have to execute. Tech did not do that last night. There offensive line was getting blown up on nearly every play. That’s way they weren’t successful. No matter the offense that is being ran if you don’t execute you won’t be successful. I don’t hear anyone stating that they have the West Coast offense figured out.

Zero imagination with passing game. One basic route along sideline for Thomas. Intermediate and long, that’s it. Nesbit’s passing philosophy drop back and heave it and hope my guy is either open or out jumps the defender. Sub 40% completion rate ain’t gonna cut it.

Better yet, drop football, turn Grant Field into an eco-garden using the 70 tons of trash generated each week in Athens as compost.

Folks, where I live the sun rose in the East. The re-play shows we lost to a better team. We are 2-1 and still in contention for the ACC championship and/or a decent bowl game.

UGay will have the same record after Saturday if they are lucky, as will Virginia Tech, Clemson, Florida State, Notre Dame, Ohio State. Michigan State, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State – but only if they win.

If any of them lose they will probably fire the coach, hang the team in effigy, and then commit mass hari-kari.

Its only a game folks, and this is only one of a dozen to be played by Tech this year. Get a freakin’ life.

Tech should have opened the checkbook to keep Tenuta on staff. When the last of his senior leadership left last year – they took the bite (or sting, as it were) out of the GT defense.

I’ve never seen so many 15-20 yard passes completed across the middle – it was truly pitch and catch. It ain’t the offense that’s the problem, the Jackets just have to make stops for goodness sake!

Eastside,
Yes CPJ has had success at every stop with “his” offense. But here is the question no one has ever asked or if asked I have never heard an answer.
It is one thing to run “his” O against the Southern Conference or the WAC or Primarily Big East Teams that are not the most athletic of conferences or do not have Defenses that are Fast and Physical. Not to mention the upgrade in Coaching ability.
Now that this team has begun to face those types on a regular basis and have had one year under their belt to experience this type of O is this going to become a trend that will necessitate CPJ to adapt and diversify???
From his personality I have to believe he will, but right now things aren’t looking so hot and Nesbitt has got to do alot better.

I watched the game because I love Paul Johnson’s style. Georgia Tech’s problem isn’t the scheme: it’s the execution. If you know what to look for (and it’s not hard to learn what to look for), then it’s obvious that on many plays GT’s players simply aren’t executing their blocks. The O-Line is just getting out-played and the backs and receivers are sometimes totally whiffing on blocks. That’s execution; not scheme. They’ll get it figured out, I think, but so far this team seems far less tough mentally than last year’s team. And it was there third game in 12 days.

Regardless of last nights loss by GT and the fact that Whipple’s offense looked much better than the Johnson offense…I for one am immensely glad that there are offenses like Johnson’s that are different. The modern trend to make every offense be the cookie cutter type of copycat (spread offenses) makes watching the games much more boring! But bring in contrasting styles and it livens up the whole pregame discussion and the game itself. Similar to the ancient romans bringing in warriors from all over to fight against members of their Legion to see which style of combat was more efficient.

So Tech fans keep your heads up! Nobody wins them all over and over (but hopefully the Tide will keep rolling in this year!

Why don’t we hear the Sabans and Meyer’s of the world saying the same thing during a live game? Was it just a fortuitious? placement of the game mike?

CPJ had better learn to handle a loss with dignity and class because there are plenty more to come.Calling a player stupid does not cut it.

Nothing will change! Paul Johnson has lost games before and will lose again at some point in the future. TRUE FANS stand behind their coach and trust him. CPJ has been execellent his entire career and will be nothing less.

As I stated last week, Miami is loaded with talent and will be a very hard game. Honestly Tech could have beaten Miami. We looked very tired, executed very poorly on many plays, got zero pressure on the QB and had way too many penalitys. There is nothing wrong with Johnson’s offense, it works great. If you don’t believe me just ask OHIO STATE!

And The Penaltys were STUPID and I am damn proud that our coach stands up and says something. CPJ will re-group and have a great game against UNC in 9 days and I will be there to Cheer Him and the Jackets on. THE END!

Yes, this team has problems. The O-line couldn’t block for crap last night and the defense forgot how to tackle. (Don’t even get me started on special teams.) Paul Johnson is going to light a fire under their collective asses starting today. I can see him taking drastic measures if we show up next week like we did last night.

One more thing: I hope this knocks us clear out of the rankings (and given how little credit the voters like to give Tech, it probably will). Last season proved that this team works best after being hit with a hard dose of reality – we did, after all, smack Miami right after losing to UNC.

Its very simple..Tech is a one trick pony. Every team has film of what that offense will do. LSU had time to figure it out, Jax St. D2 school whatever, Clemson locked it down in the 2nd half and would have won if not for a phantom holding call, and Miami shut it down. It looks to me like the last 4 games, since the UGA game, Tech has not done anything on O. That offense won’t work at the ACC level and beyond. With no D and a one trick pony O, what did anyone expect? It’s a gimmick O and PJ works it until it gets exposed, then he moves on to another school. Maybe in theory it works, hence the reason he says “when executed properly”, but in theory every offense should work when executed properly. Tech’s problems is that it is so one dimensional.

My Tech fan buddies all had such high hopes for this season. I guess based on a 3 point win at UGA, I don’t know. But welcome back to mediocrity. It has missed you.

PJ’s triple-option offense works great in high school and low level college. It also works the first time through a schedule, even in the ACC. But when teams have played against it before or have time to prepare for it (see LSU), that offense is incredibly easy to stuff–especially for top-level D-1 athletes.

i think last year miami took gt lightly and thats why gt pounded them and its could of been worse if coach johnson did not take the starters out. this year miami will not take gt lightly bc of what happen last year, but im very confident gt wins 38-17 over miami. miami has shown us how undisiplined they can be on defense and the tripple option offense only needs one mistake to take it to the house for a touchdown.john dwyer runs for 12 carries 180 yards and bebe thomas 6 cathces 150 yards. close game at half but tech pulls away in the 3rd quarter. tech could possibly finish 11-1

Georgia fans (and I’m one of em) shouldn’t celebrate Tech’s loss with too much gusto. With Randy Shannon hanging around the U, Miami will remain average. We need this season to spin out of control for the U so Randy gets fired and they bring in a competent coach (maybe Tubs).

Georgia will be better off if these two programs are resurrected and take a share of the sunshine state talent from Jean Short U.

It would not surprise me if Miami went undefeated. Harris is scary good. 33-17 was brutal. But we did score. I’m not ready to fold up shop. If we blocked and did not miss any assignments and still got stopped, I would be concerned about the system. I think our o-line can block better and our skill players can execute better with blocking and making plays. I’m very concerned about our defense. Very concerned.

I think the team does not have an emotional leader amongst the players. They need a Darryl Richard in there and I don’t think they have it.

I am amazed at all the armchair coaches. Some of you people act like CPJ never lost a game and some of you UGA people act like you haven’t (memo to UGA: 1980 is now 29 years ago).

To listen to some of you, teams would need to change their offenses every game, lest someone figure out what they’re doing by watching film. That cracks me up. If a pro set team has a miserable game, do people start screaming for them to go to some other offense?

CPJ has been pretty successful with the triple option everywhere he’s taken it. It’s really more about execution than the offense itself.

The real worry on this team is the defense. No pass rush and receivers open all over the field. Not just last night, but last week as well. Even if the offense is clicking, it’s going to take 30+ points each game to garner wins.

Folks, Clemson is the best team we will play this season, and they are right next to Va. Tech in terms of talent. I finished watching the game from tivo last night and NFL scouts from 20 teams were in attendance at that game. Clemson’s O line, at its lightest, outweighed the largest Tech lineman by 25 pounds, and at worst, by 65. One of their Def-ends was the #1 rated player out of high school 2 years ago. Then with Spiller and Ford, you had a team of race horses, and Parker threw lights out. That was one of the best teams that the ACC has in place.
That said, Miami has some playmakers too, but not the number that Clemson did. Harris has a great go-to guy in Travis Benjamin, who had 128 yards against FSU. Harris is a good passer, but he never ran against FSU, I don’t look to see him do anything differently. Miami had 90 yards on the ground and 386 in the air. Same attack as what we saw with Clemson, with younger players. I think our D is better than to allow two 30 point games. I see Tech winning by 7 on the road.

Out of all this brainstorming i’m not sure what i find the most comical… maybe that idea that you personally counted 20 NFL scouts in attendence at a college football game? or that CLEMSON will be the best team GT faces all season… lol… this is rich in brilliance…

Tech is in big trouble this year. That’s one of the worst performances I’ve seen both offensively and defensively in a long time. Nesbit is toally worthless and that’s not a good thing when your defense is one of the worst in the conference. I see Tech around 7 and 5 this year. I see bad things in the future for this program. Last 4 games….
LSU-38-3-Got totally dominated
J’vill State-20 point win that was very ugly and J’vill St was missing their best player. If the QB played that game it could have been much closer.
Clemson-Completely checked out at halftime and the refs bailed them out at the end. Should have lost this one.
Miami- Just like the LSU game, got totally embarrassed. Score could have been 45-17.
This program just took a huge step backwards. Just when the Techies thought they had something to build on, they realize they are right back to the old tech and the 7 and 5 records.

Have you ever even darkened the door of a HS far less an accredited college or university ? Your parents should sue your school district for producing such an inferior product.

Let’s see, Mark Richt is a ‘Cane, Willie Martinez? (Check!), and you are about the only tool in the peanut state that blithely declares ” With Randy Shannon hanging around the U, Miami will remain average..”. Hey Giblet Head…follow rebuilding much ?

Tommy Tubberville (Cane!) does’nt sit around hoping that Miami loses so that he gets offered it’s HC job when one of his protege’s is now the HC and leans on both him and Jimmy Johnson from time to time.
May I congratulate you on a level of stupidity seldom seen in one’s lifetime. Many of us had heard that there were levels of idiocy seldom witnessed by the eyes of modern man…but now you have made believers out of us who thought it nothing more than myth.

I would go on but instead I leave you with the words of the NY news-anchor: Keep f****king that chicken !

Mark (and same goes for Jeff Schultz) I enjoy reading your blogs/articles. It’s too bad it never leads to an actual discussion about the subject. Just a bunch of jerks who act like elementary school kids yelling at each other. And it’s both sides of the fence. Of course it seems like there are 10 woofin dawgs for every RAMBLE ON, St. Simons and m.

What a bunch of tools.

And by the way, it’s one loss. Anyone looking realistically at the schedule figured this was going to be a tough game. The true measure of this team and Paul Johnson will be how they respond next week against UNC at home. I still predict Tech will be 8-3 and UGA 7-4 come the last weekend in November.

Why all the Nesbitt hate? The running game has no chance when the defense is playing in Tech’s backfield. And, I thought he looked good last night passing. But the degree of difficulty on the passes is going to hinder the passing game. Short passes over the middle are clearly the way to keep defenses honest and help give the RB’s room to make plays. Where’s the Run and Shoot? Another thing that would help is not letting LB’s and DB’s come flying into the backfield untouched. How many missed blocks have there been this year? The answer is alot. Which leads me to believe the players have given up on CPJ. How many times did an A-back not bump a defender or go for the cut block and not even get a hand on the defender. There’s only a couple explanations for that. Either the defenders are all Barry Sanders and can juke and jive amazingly well, the players did not receive proper coaching, or the players are not giving their all. I think the players do not trust the coach and the coaches have not done a good enough job to motivate the players. Something is wrong this year, because even last year, when the team clearly didn’t know what it was doing, they were busting their tails. This year, they look like they don’t care. Maybe the ego was inflated and they needed to lose before getting focused, but something has gotta change. I don’t know what, but I think short/medium passes over the middle would be a good start, especially when the defense is leaving it wide open.

1) what is the big deal about 3 games in 13 days? A normal “run” is 3 games in 15 days. 3 in 13 sounds bad but in reality it’s nothing, especially when one of the 3 is fcs (and fcs fresh out of d2)
2) having observed the ham-bone for almost 2 decades as an avid gsu eagle, 1 thing is certain. when johnson’s team gets down by 3 or more scores it’s pretty much over. this offense can’t overcome big deficits. we didn’t face it very much in statesboro and he hasn’t faced it much at tech yet. the o will be fine, except when you get behind big.

Habersham Dawg is right. We got our a– handed to us last night and so far have laid a steaming pile thus far in 2009. This Tech fan has manned up and is not afraid to call a spade a spade.

BUT, whats with the people on this blog like JJ and Duh who can’t do the math to figure out a typical 3 game run takes place over 21 days. They don’t call you Duh for nothing. Again, idiots, there are 7 days in a week.

Regardless, that 3 games in 12 days nonsense doesn’t explain why we bent over, grabbed our ankles, and assumed the position last night. We looked like a bunch of swine-flu infested midgets playing a real football team. Looked like the worst team in Single A high school taking on the best team in 5-A.

Yes, good point Duh. Tech had a full week to prepare for Miami. The days were a little off, but a full week of preparation nonetheless. And don’t overlook the fact that Tech had since January to get ready for Clemson. Most people wrongly remember that Tech was rolling Clemson in the first half, but let’s remember the 2 special teams touchdowns. Basically Tech’s offense has done nothing since Thanksgiving weekend 2008.

For most Tech fans I would just like to comment that you just suffered a crushing loss last night and that’s just the way the mop flops in NCAA football. Don’t worry – CPJ will likely fix some of the problems on both sides of the ball and GT could still go 8 – 4 with a decent bowl.

I honestly believe this offense in itself can compete with anyone (hear me out). However, I also believe the primary reason for Tech’s offensive woes lie with the QB. True, mis-direction of the run is the backbone of this offense, however, if the QB had even a remotely decent arm and accuracy opponents would think twice about stacking the line and the run game wouldn’t be as suffocated. In all fairness to the running game, the offensive line also has to get better in creating openings. With such a deep stable of backs and a highly touted WR in Hill to compliment a NFL talent in Thomas, there’s no reason the offense can’t be more balanced…which points the finger back at Nesbitt.

Next, the defensive line has to be able to put pressure on the QB. Derrick Morgan has tremendous talent but even he can’t do it all by himself. The line couldn’t even get close to Harris, much less get pressure on him. We also saw this against Clemson. Harris had all day to evaluate the field without worrying about the defensive line. He’s been praised for his ability to remain calm throughout the game…well, with the way his line protected him he had good reason to remain calm. But to his credit, he’s got quite an arm and accuracy. IMO, Tech needs to get better athletes. I honestly believe LSU whooped us in the trenches during the Chick-Fil-A bowl because our athletes just couldn’t compete with the speed and size of LSU (and for that matter, probably most SEC teams, with the exception of Georgia, apparently .

The secondary also needs to step up. I believe in our players are quick enough to cover most people, though they may lack size, so I would tend to point the finger at the defensive coach. Last year, the defense had multiple NFL talent which made coaching a little easier but so far this year, I haven’t been too impressed; too many wide open receivers.

Finally…SPECIAL TEAMS! What on earth is going on with our special teams?? An oversnapped ball led to a safety TWO weeks in a row now. That’s unacceptable. I’ll just keep this one shorter and say we need a punter who can punt farther than 27 yards, and a kicker who can kick farther out than ~40 yards. Whatever momentum the offense finally is able to conjure up is quickly dissipated by the fact that they have to run 1-2 more plays to get the kicker almost within the redzone for a field goal.

Overall, is that a fair assessment?

You know what I think? I think Amazed has been the most right so far – it doesn’t matter what offense you run if your quarterback can’t even get the snap off without having his ankles hit by the D-Line destroying the interior O-Line.

Know what else? I think UGAy fans have enough to worry about with their own team (giving up 37 points to South Carollina, who only scored 7 on NC State) that maybe they shouldn’t be over here talking so much about our issues.

Tech didn’t spend any time getting ready for Jacksonville St. All summer should have been spent getting ready for Clemson. Then Tech had a full week to get ready for Miami.

I don’t know that this loss is an indictment against PJ and his offense as much as it is our o-line and d-line.

Miami’s D-Line dominated our O-Line. Miami’s O-Line dominated our D-Line. Their QB is good enough to make throws when given 5-8 seconds each time, and their WRs are fast enough to get open given 5-8 seconds, especially if we are running a zone or man-to-man on one of them.

It has nothing to do with “figuring out” Paul Johnson’s offense. No offense would have had 100 yards rushing with the way our line played last night. No offense could have moved the ball passing either. No defense could have contained Miami’s passing offense with the little pressure we were getting on Harris.

It’s that simple. It all starts on the line and ours had a really bad game on both sides of the ball. Any system would have lost the game.

This team has played with intensity for only two quarters this entire season, that’s it. It’s time to see what kind of coach Johnson really is. I think he’s up to the task. My question, is Wommack? It’s hard to recall a defense that looked as bad as Tech’s did last night.

I disagree with all the fans that say the triple option has been figured out. It has been figured out for years both how to run it and how to stop it. Miami’s fron 7 was better than GT’s OL same as LSU.

The DEs managed to get in the backfield which takes away one pitchman, leaving the back pitchman to string it out to the sideline if possible where quick LBs can run him down, or forcing the QB up the center. Assuming the DE does not just get to the QB before a play can be made. The passing game was not generating enough to force Miami to drop people into coverage.

H.S. Offense? please point to a team that runs it.

Any coach deserved time to build his program. This offense under CPJ has yet to see a functional offensive line, and that will take time. He won 9 games last year because of a strong D line and an offense that was sometimes spectular and other times sputtering. What I saw during the Clemson game was what I feared – way too much time for an opposing qb to throw. Everyone has swallowed to koolaid too quickly, and 7-8 wins is reasonable this year. I have confidence this will all be fine, and the rivalry is ugay is back on. Go Gators !!!

It amazes some of you get sucked into this black hole that Mark Bradley and Company starts every time the Jackets have a bad game, saying the Paul Johnson’s offense may be to blame, which is intended to give the Bulldog nation something to feel good so they can jump up and down on it like they have something to throw nasty comments about GA Tech.

It takes their mind off of the fact that Georgia got beat by Oklahoma State, a team that got beat by Houston; it takes their mind off of the fact that Georgia gave up nearly 40 points to South Carolina, at UGA no less, to a team that barely beat NC State and which scored less than 17 points against them; and it takes their mind off of the fact that they’re headed to Arkansas to play a pretty good Bobby Petrino team (that makes me want to throw up in my mouth) that has a good shot at beating them and sending the Georgia Bulldogs home to Athens with 1 win and 2 losses.

GA Tech’s players have just come off of a hard summer of practice, classes started and then three games in 12 days, with the third game being an away game with a team that had played one game 10 days prior, was playing at home, and knew how to play on that horrible field. Also, give Miami some credit; they have a really good team.

Give the Jackets some credit, too. At the end of the first half, they could have been down 17 – 10 if the Roddy Jones touchdown run wouldn’t have been called back. Keeping the game close may have changed the entire complexity of the game; we’ll never know.

What we got out of the game is that Josh Nesbitt can pass the ball; Demaryius Thomas can catch the ball; GA Tech has a punter who can get the ball out there; and Orwin Smith can return kickoffs.

So now we can wait and see if the team can catch its collective breath, trying to heal from all of the cuts and scrapes from that awful field and bumps and bruises from the tough game against Miami, and refocus their energy back at what will make them the team that they want to be, in spite of what all of the naysayers may be throwing out there about them.

Let’s give the boys a couple of days to rest up and get their feet back under them before we give up on them and please, Jacket fans, don’t get caught up by Mark Bradley and Company trolling for controversy. The bulldog nation doesn’t need the headlines to insult the team, and any of you buying in to it, or responding to their taunting, just adds to their fun.

We have a game to get ready for a week from Saturday, and they have a game to start get ready for tomorrow. They can either strut around like peacocks or pout like babies after the game against Arkansas, depending on the score, and it won’t make a difference to me. It won’t matter one iota on how I will feel about my Yellow Jackets.

Yep, GT loses, the Dawg fans on the level of the GT Trolls come out and throw it right back in there faces, while the most guilty ones aren’t even showing their faces due to embarrassment.

Why don’t the guilty GT trolls just face the plate of crow in front of them and move on? It is one game. If you all fold after one game, your team is not talented, your coaching staff is less talented and you need to accept that. If you have any balls under that stinger of yours, your team, your fans and the smack talk might be able to step up and stand up for yourself.

If not, well… you got a long year ahead.

As for throwing out the bogus BS about UGA and their games played? Sounds like a teenager who thinks he is being witty and smart, when in fact, it is sad.

We shall see what UGA is made of. But before you whine about 12 or 13 days, UGA started on the road at Stillwater, and are playing on the road at Fayetteville, not the closes venues to play in. Travel takes a little out of a team, by the way, and is part of the game.

So quit making excuses, whining and just support your team. Trying to flame back at the trolls just fuels the fire. But then again, I probably am talking to 18 year olds and this won’t make sense.

UM may play on a lousy field, but both teams were on the same field so that dont wash. Niether does having to come of a hard working training camp. UM had a hard camp also. New O & D cordinators, so had to learn new schemes. All CPJ did with his new system last year was make excuses about players having to learn new system.—-But wait till next year, we always make giant steps of improvement after our 1st year.

Lets face it the big schools with good atheletes have caught on to defenseing CPJ foot ball. Especially when you have a QB that cant pass.

I hated loseing to UM but what was embarasseing was the way we played—that and the fact tha CPJ lost his cool and called a player stupid. Such an action was an admission that he did a poor job of coaching, and was blameing his players istead of maning up to who was really stupid.

I could go on and on about this but i am sure it would go over most of the loyalist heads.

OHOHOHOHO Hit me one more time. MIAMI will end the season higher ranked than Okie State and USC east. I think Clemson will as well. So, now who has UGA played? I didn’t p——-my dawg I just let him BURN.

The DAWGS want ADAMS to leave. If Adams goes to run the NCAA will the dawgs finally play for the SEC championship and graduate a D-lineman? POLLACK call me if you can put the phone to your ear and bend your BROKEN neck (HAHAHHA) to respond.

Greetings Redneck, knuckle draggers up there in red clay country.
Hope you’re feeling better today after that ass whipping you received from a clearly superior and better-coached football team (on national TV)last evening. Revenge is so very sweet. Best wishes as you disappear from the national rankings. Lick your wounds.Improve your spelling, too!

First our Defense has to get better. Maybe more pressure rush extra LB or 3-4. Also need to get #21 when back more one on one on the outside.
Maybe most important we have to pass the ball to keep these defenses honest. Nesibitt-Bam Bam on the 56 yard TD pass fantastic. We still had a long shot at the end. An option “expert” told me these long passes are needed to keep the defense honest and pin the DB’s back. Once we get this passing game effect option should open up more. Nesbitt on the rollout with option of passing or running seems. Miami shut our running game down 40 carries for 95 yards. Miami looked awfully good.

Never make excuses. I was so drunk the first time I took the SAT I was accepted by UGA. HAHA. Glad I sobered up to take it again and I was accepted by Vanderbilt. I wanted better so I took it again and Emory accepted me, but I still wanted to go to TECH. I took the test again. UGA I hear they are sending an Agricultural Engineer to the moon. Maybe a UGA grad can gut the grass on the moon.

Pi$$, you seem to de disturbed by the fact that UGA punked GT for seven – count ‘em, 7 years straight and even hung 51 on your team during the process. Heck, GT can’t even fill up their miniscule stadium unless UGA comes to town. Your school is a joke where the students dare not venture too far from the campus lest they be relieved of laptops, wallets, cell phones, etc. You’ve got the right name there, Pi$$. Now you’d best go on to bed. Try not to Pi$$ your dorm bunk bed tonight.

Wow….don’t let this cat bring ya’ll into name calling. It is obvious to tell that Tech, just like Dawg fans do not like the cat calling that takes place on the blogs. That may be the only thing we have in common.

The reality of it is, is that Tech got it handed to them. The same thing may be said about us when we play a team just north of Miami, with some guy named Tebow.

GOOO DAWGS!

Fine…but THERE HAS TO BE A PLAN B!!!! Option when working is great. If we are running it and winning fine – but if we are running it and not fairing well – THERE NEEDS TO BE A PLAN B!! And that is a QB that can PASS THE BALL!! Enough already – one dimensional teams will never rise to the top. Another thing that bothers me is he never really seems to take the blame. After Miami, he said ‘there’s a lot of blame to go around’. Ah….huh!? Suck it up coach and take the frickin blame once in awhile. Be a man. And PS: if your QB isn’t the greatest player, why call for him to throw the bomb on the very 1st play against Clemson?! Just assinine!!!

GT don’t have a passing game. You cannot win in football without a passing game. The U pick the secondary apart last night ! Until GT start passing and maybe they can win a couple of games.

No passing No wins !

Jon, we would normally not do this but since your rabid GT fans delight in rubbing UGA’s nose in it on OUR blogs we just thought we’d return the favor. The GT – UGA game is usually a rivalry game but this year it will be total war. After stringing 7 in a row on your pathetic school, you manage to defeat UGA by a mere 3 points and GIVE EACH TECH PLAYER A RING. It seems that the game against UGA means a whole lot more to you clowns. Seriously – a ring for beating your in-state rival? By 3 points? By assistance from the ref’s because of UGA’s end zone dance against UF? If that gives you satisfaction then I feel sorry for you – I really do. Good luck after being caned by the Canes!!! Heh heh.

CANES…………..yeah. Uh Huh. The Canes can deal with a trick offense. Paul Johnson is a non-factor now that we have the players to stop that high school junk. Out coached you GT, huh? Did I call the score correctly? I believe I did – 33 to 17 Miami. Yep – there you have it. Don’t come back down here looking for a win because you’ll just wind up leaving in tears with your heads hung down. Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa!!!!!!! GO CANES!!!!!!!!

Johnson will react like the jackazz he is. This team is already quitting on him. By season’s end they will have totally left the building. This is the most out of shape football team that I have ever seen as well and it is way too late to do anything about that isn’t it. That is solely the fault of the “great” Paul Johnson.

It’s clear by reading the majority of posts not too many understand football! If you watched and studied the game you would notice a large number of mis assignment. The spread or triple option (pick a name) is dependent on everyone making their blocks and making their reads. This is not happening. You can pick your reason. It’s either bad execution or the athletes asked to execute can’t? I read a bunch of BS about this offense is “figured out” the offense is “no longer a secret” etc, etc, etc,! Execute the offense the way it’s suppose to be done and it works. Don’t and you get what happened Thursday night. The loss of Jaybo Shaw has contributed more to the early season offensive woes than expected. Josh Nesbitt is not improved over last season. Not having Shaw to bring in when the offense is not clicking is hurting.

And for the puppy dawg fans! Boost and take all the shots you want! And your so vocal about UGA barely beating S. Carolina and their massive offense? Neither UGA or GT is showing they deserve to be ranked at this point! Talk trash all you want but a real football fan sees their team for what they are!

Jack_in_Homo (FL):
The Poo has been a joke since Butch left (2001 was all Butch’s team). If you hadn’t noticed, UF has won 2 nc’s and will probably win a third this yr. FSU has also been pathetic this decade. If a state is to be divided up b/w rivals and 2 of 3 stink stank stunk, then 1 will be oh-so-dominate. See UF and Urban Meyer. Don’t you think the Pac-10 is pulling for UCLA to become relevant?

You are the epitome of ”Florida is America’s Colon”.
Have you applied some weather seal to your concrete block house? Do you park your John boat in front of the house or on the side?
————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Your first post made me suspicious but your second post confirmed it. You are not stupid at all. No not all all. You would need about TWENTY MORE IQ POINTS to qualify as stupid. You have to look UP at stupid.

Your childish rambling reply aptly confirms that you have’nt a clue. Let’s put it this way …if you were a light-bulb…you’d have to be changed. You know nothing of recruiting or the history of the schools in Florida.

Here’s a list of suggestions that should help you going forward :

(1) Go get that GED.

(2) Join the local library

(3) Listen to public radio…apparently all that sports-talk radio has rubbed off on your brain.

(4) Go find out why everyone is talking about Northern Wyoming.

(5) Pay attention when you get back in remedial reading.

(6)Tell your parents that you are sorry for failing them.

(7) Realize that loud and clueless is no way to go through life.

(8) Next time when you are at work ..pay attention when powdering the donuts

(9) Realize that lighting farts DOES NOT impress girls.

(10) Stay off blogs until you get that GED and actually FINISH reading a book which does not contain pictures.

I don’t know how you retool an under performing offensive line. Reggie Bush would have a hard time getting 10 yards behind this O Line. I don’t know if they were tired (??), hurt, or just not good. Dwyer could get yards, if he had some room to run, but the opposing D lines look like a German pincer movement clogging everything up around the center. If Nesbit had the protection Harris had, he and Dwyer could have both been stars in this game.

This will be the tactic used by every team we play now and they will continue to use this tactic, unless CPJ finds an answer, and if he can’t find an answer, he might as well put the seniors on bench and start playing freshmen and sophomores.

Unfortunately the same can be said about our D line. We have one good player, the others just don’t have the power, skills, or speed to get into the backfield and apply pressure. A one man D line just ain’t gonna cut it.

In my opinion, the Miami game was lost on both sides of the ball in the trenches, just like LSU, and almost Clemson.

Brian Jones IF a frog had wings he wouldn’t bump his azz. IF Brian Jones knew squat about football he would realize that GT couldn’t execute because the Miami D was better and more athletic. IF Brian Jones had more than a room temperature IQ he would realize that no defense is just going to stand there so GT’s substandard blockers can hit a target that’s not moving. IF Brian Jones knew sh%t about football he’d see all that.

Obviously Nesbitt is not an effective passer. Once CPJ gets his option quarterback in place he will be able to make the necessary adjustments to his offense. Judgement of this offense should not be made until it is in place at least three years. CPJ is still an excellent coach. We will be alright.

Tech will rebound. Let’s just look to UNC this weekend as some hope to get back on track. A win at home could get some confidence back up for the FSU and VT games ahead. Let’s go Tech. UGA fans just keep the trash coming. Can’t wait to see you in November, should be a good battle down here on the Flats.

I hate to say this. It appears that teams are begining to learn how to defend Tech’s offense. Tech has looked pathetic on offense since the second half of the Clemson game. I have a strong feeling that Tech will only win 6 games this year. It is just horrible that our football season can’t be like it was in 2008. I firmly believe that 2008 was a fluke. All signs point that way.
