Which, thankfully, Tech was not on the wrong side of is on TV right now on MASN (MidAtltantic Sports Network).
Miami was up on Bobby Ross' Maryland Terrapins 31 - 0. And lost.
MD was led by QB Frank Reich, who also was part of the Buffalo Bills historic comeback against Warren Moon's HOU Oilers in the 1993 NFL Playoffs.
Score deficit? I prefer to go by heart ache. In which case our squandered 20-0 lead on UGA a couple years ago was the biggest ever.By score deficit, aTm/UCLA this year was bigger. UCLA was down by 34.

If we're being utilitarian about it, total heart ache in a comeback loss is probably maximized with the aTm / UCLA game, which not only involved a larger deficit, but what is probably a larger fan base as well.
I'm not willing to consider a different approach, because I don't want to remember the game you're referencing. At all. Ever.
Remember that year when Vad transferred before the uga game, so we skipped it and the bowl?

The sarcasm is so deep here I've gotten lost and I'm no longer sure what direction I'm going. That said, Vad really was a very talented QB. He set a lot of records at JMU — including being the first D-I QB to ever rush and pass for 275 in a single game. That's pretty amazing.I remember Vad setting ACC records against UNC. Probably the most promising, talented quarterback to never start a single game at Georgia Tech. Shame.

One of the things that worries me most about CPJ is how some starters and star players want to move on. How often does a team's starting QB transfer? Or its leading rusher? Worrisome.
Obviously Vad's departure worked out OK because how JT5 played in 2014... but still, it suggests something in the relationship of coach to player that is off.

Why would you think that Vad would be benched in 2014? Vad transferred days after the Music City loss, when to all appearances he was going to remain the starter. A quote by our intrepid beat reporter at the time of the transfer:I think it was pretty obvious why Vad transferred. How often does the benched starter move on? A lot.
One OL apparently couldn't get accepted to grad school. Another, who wasn't NFL caliber, left for Microsoft. Neither of those are on CPJ.
Who did you have in mind?
I don't have the memory or energy to produce all the names I'm thinking of, but you've left out plenty. One OL wanted to become a cartoonist, another a NASCAR pit crew member. It is undisputed that there's nothing strange or wrong with their choices. Except if it happens with frequency, it begins to look like something else is going on.There was little in Johnson’s public support of Lee, or in Lee’s own demeanor, to suggest such a drastic move lurked. Johnson summarized Lee’s play in the bowl as “some good, some bad,” but pointed out his successful plays. Following Tech’s loss to Georgia, Lee was nearly in tears, upset that the Yellow Jackets couldn’t send out the team’s seniors with a win over the rival Bulldogs.

I like CPJ, I like his offense, and I think most complaints about our situation are naive. But I have heard from people that spend a lot of time around him that his personality can get pretty grating.
The elite ones might have higher turnover, I don't know... but they can weather those unexpected losses much better than us. Seriously — has it not happened almost every year that CPJ mentions shortages of players on the OL as a problem?The elite ones have higher turnover.
We did the same thing in '78 when Eddie Lee got hurt in the second half.Score deficit? I prefer to go by heart ache. In which case our squandered 20-0 lead on UGA a couple years ago was the biggest ever.
Got hurt. That's one way to put it.We did the same thing in '78 when Eddie Lee got hurt in the second half.
