Not much to say about this one. Certainly a must-win game for the program. And a chance for CGC to showcase what his team can do on the field. Gonna be a hot one!

Hope our defensive coaching staff don't sleep on the TO. Still, this game shouldn't be close if we execute the offense against their lesser athletes.

I'll bet more than a few fans said this about GT during the CPJ era.

At that point, our players were only marginally "lesser" than the average CFB team. KSU being FCS, they should just by nature be smaller, slower guys that we should outclass just on a raw comparison. Of course, the scheme helps them out some, so we will see how our defense plans to stop them. I'm hoping CGC is still well aware just how bad the Citadel loss was for us.

We also basically walked the Citadel into the endzone with like 50 penalty yards on one drive during that game, so hopefully we can at least avoid that against KSU.

Because of their performance against The Citadel I played it safe (70%).

They'll be smaller and slower, though not by a great deal. There just will be fewer top end speed and quickness guys for them.
Bohannon's a great guy and a really good coach. Plus, his staff is well versed and steeped in option football. They understand what they're doing at every level of the attack.
on paper, this should be an easy one. But ... take nothing for granted.

It's a big game for them, to be sure. Still, I remember talking to Bobby Johnson right after Furman walked the dog on North Carolina in Chapel Hill and asking him what he would rather have — a win over a P5 team or a national championship.
He didn't blink.
He said natty.
KSU is a FCS playoff team year in and year out under Bo. That's their top focus and goal. But they'll deliver their best shot on The Flats.
 
This will be a win unless we have 13 turnovers.

And the team will be looking ahead to Clemson on the road.

Honestly, all I want is to punch Clemson in the face so hard that it makes a cracking sound. Those jerks need to pay.

After they beat the dwags, that is. If they lose to the dwags, we will show NO mercy.

You know they say that the chance of winning is 50/50, but you look at this offense, you look at our defense, you look at Collins on the sideline and you can see that statement just isn’t true. Two separate studies from the Georgia Tech Research institute and the Weather Channel independently found that in a normal game, any team has a 50/50 chance of winning. Factor in that we have a waffle syrup coated playbook and the team's odds are below average. Statistically, Tech has a 25% chance, at best, to win. Factor in KSU's motivation and our chances of winning decrease to 12.5%
So, the data scientists took the 12.5% chance, deducted KSU's 75% chance of getting a win, resulting in Tech’s negative 62.5% chance of having a good day. They compiled our 75% chance of looking past KSU with our extra 50% chance of stupid penalties and they found KSU has a 137.50 % chance of walking away with a win. Mister Announcer, the numbers don't lie, and they say KSU takes the win.

I win one way or the other, being a GT fan / SPSU/KSU grad. Goooo Jackets, Green Hornets, hoot hoot owls.
