Just for those sweet helmets they're wearing.
December 27th, 2010 at 6:42 PM ^
Just want to see a second half, that is more exciting than watching paint dry. I typically root for the service academies, but I will take a more entertaining half regardless of who wins.
December 27th, 2010 at 7:10 PM ^
So far.
December 27th, 2010 at 6:40 PM ^
Is look that good in a Georgia Tech T-Shirt.
<br>
<br>You know, unless it's a Cylon.
December 27th, 2010 at 6:44 PM ^
is my favorite football team of the academies. And yeah I've always found it ironic that they don't run the air raid. Maybe they should hire Mike Leach...?
December 27th, 2010 at 6:48 PM ^
On locking people in closets?
<br>
<br>/s
December 27th, 2010 at 6:50 PM ^
we can take a shot in the dark and guess...
December 27th, 2010 at 7:38 PM ^
That would mean someone hired Troy Calhoun away and that would make me very sad.
December 27th, 2010 at 6:45 PM ^
December 27th, 2010 at 6:52 PM ^
and win this thing for me to go 9-0 in my bowl pick-ems
December 27th, 2010 at 7:07 PM ^
go falcons! x2
December 27th, 2010 at 7:12 PM ^
And still not score a TD. How were they favored in this game? Heck, how did they win 8 games??
December 27th, 2010 at 7:19 PM ^
had a little bit to do with them winning 8 games. Besides TCU, Utah and San Diego State there is really nobody else worth anything in the conference. I suppose they were favored simply because GT only went 6-6, in what was a very mediocre ACC.
I think part of the reason why the offenses are struggling so much is because the two defenses see a similar offense in practice everyday.
December 27th, 2010 at 7:25 PM ^
is out (Josh Nesbitt).
December 27th, 2010 at 7:32 PM ^
Moving the ball hasn't been their problem. Not fumbling it has.
December 27th, 2010 at 7:19 PM ^
Fumble it away in the endzone?
December 27th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
did this guy transfer from the 08 Michigan team? Brutal
December 27th, 2010 at 7:27 PM ^
this game is going, that may be all the points AF needs.
December 27th, 2010 at 7:35 PM ^
Because unless GT fumbles it there, AF won't sniff the endzone again before OT.
December 27th, 2010 at 7:39 PM ^
A picture of Navy, really?
December 27th, 2010 at 7:46 PM ^
Didn't do so hot in their bowl game...
December 27th, 2010 at 7:55 PM ^
Is there a Georgia Tech Liveblog somewhere with everyone screaming "HANG ON TO THE DAMN BALL!!"
December 27th, 2010 at 8:00 PM ^
Why is it that teams that struggle all game to move the ball, always find a way to go down field when there's less than 2 min. left in the game? Take the offense that you're running in that moment, and run it all game. Random, fast chaos.
December 27th, 2010 at 8:01 PM ^
just imply that Nesbitt was a decent passer before his injury. The guy had only completed around 35% of his passes before getting injured. Even by triple option qb standards that is rather poor.
December 27th, 2010 at 8:04 PM ^
It's no question; Nesbitt is not a good passer... he has decent arm strength, but passing is not his forte, his ability to run that offense, and for the most part, his durability are tremendous assets. I wonder what position he'd play in the NFL though.
December 27th, 2010 at 8:05 PM ^
is terrible, I dont know if I have ever seen someone drop back like that and then he underthrows everything
December 27th, 2010 at 8:07 PM ^
When you started dropping that you could be going 9-0...
December 27th, 2010 at 8:05 PM ^
Someone got hurt on the last real play of the game. That's awful.
December 27th, 2010 at 8:12 PM ^
That was a real shame and it sucks to see a game end like that.
Less importantly I was slightly bummed that it took some focus away from an incredible interception.
December 27th, 2010 at 8:09 PM ^
Georgia Tech is up a creek without a paddle, when they can't run the football. Makes you wonder if Georgia Tech can consistenly be an ACC title contender running this style. Seem like a good offense for the service academies to maximize their wins with limited talented though.
December 27th, 2010 at 8:13 PM ^
...I don't foresee many problems with GT being competitive in the ACC. As a conference, it's barely a step up from the Big East.
December 27th, 2010 at 8:25 PM ^
Most offenses are crippled when you take away the run game (or whatever they do primarily.)
And, if you believe GaTech can't win consistently with "this style" of offense because it's more of a gimmick to make up for lack of talent, then you believe the same about the spread, in my opinion.
December 27th, 2010 at 8:20 PM ^
Florida State showed some signs this year to make you think they are on their way back, and you would think Miami would rebound at some point. Add Virginia Tech into that mix, and I think it could be pretty hard for GT to consistently compete in the ACC title picture. Like I said, they have no way to win if their running game isn't producing.
December 27th, 2010 at 8:26 PM ^
What happens if you take away Michigan's ability to run? Oregon's? Or Wisconsin's?
December 27th, 2010 at 8:57 PM ^
struggle as well, but they still aren't nearly as reliant on the running game. Those teams are far more efficient throwing the football than Georgia Tech is, and are far more balanced. They may not have a good chance of winning a game if their run game is shut down, but they would have a better chance than GT. I don't think it is a concidence that team's have moved away from the triple option offense over the years. I am not saying the triple option is a bad offense or gimmick, but it has certain limitations with regards to the passing game. If you notice, AF has even started to incorporate some traditional offensive concepts here and there into their playbook.
What other offense would you see a starting QB with a completetion percentage of 35%? That is ridiculous.
December 27th, 2010 at 8:26 PM ^
For GT to consistently compete in the ACC no matter what offense they've run.
