		<description>Quick breakdown on Duke:

Duke has run more plays than their opponents, except for 2: Army, and NC (last week). Their time of possession against NC St. was 40 - 20 (rounded off). In that game they completed 40 of 50 pass attempts, with 9.2 yards per pass.

They spread the ball around, 4 guys with 29 or more receptions (10.6 to 15.6 yards per). 4 other guys have caught at least 10. Top 5 receivers are WRs.

Blitzing in a short passing game like this...will that work, or having more people in coverage? Duke is not a running threat; 2.2 yards per, 614 net yards, 257 yds lost, 175 of them by Thad Lewis (158 on 23 sacks ).

Kicker is 11/12, 4/4 from 40-49, long of 47 yards.
Snyderwine had 5 FGs in 28-17 win over UVA on 10/31.

OL depth is an issue. 3rd down conversions are 48.4% and 51.4% in 1st and 3rd Q; 27.3%  and 26.8% in 2nd and 4th Q.

Defensive depth: 3rd down conv. allowed by Q - 40.0%-39.4%-35.5%-48.5%</description>

		<description>Fan poll on the Tech AJC web page: BCS vs. playoff system.
Fan poll on the UGA AJC web page: Which is worse, losing to Auburn or losing to Tech.
That kind of says it all.</description>

		<description>First of all, GO DUKE!!!  Whenever &quot;georgia tech&quot; shows up in any poll, especially football, it looks like a type.  It&#039;s going to hurt so good when tech loses!!!  I heard that most of tech&#039;s fans, a.k.a. &quot;America&#039;s Most Obnoxious Fans&quot; are not making the trip to Duke.  Thank goodness, because they are such an embarrassment to the State of Georgia to be seen on television.</description>
