Their new RB, Roc Thomas, who they got from Auburn. Anybody who thinks they are going to run us out of our own stadium, GTFO. Al Groh has been gone a long time.

With Roof, they will be between a Roc and a hard place.
 
.9 or greater for me if the Tennessee game was on Saturday or if GT beats Tennessee. But tricky if Tech loses Monday and has to come back and face a really good JSU team 4 and a half days later. Virginia Tech lost a Monday night game to Boise State then lost to an FCS team on Saturday. And Tech had a similar issue after blowing a 36-19 lead against Miami then losing to MTSU the following week.

Gotta go .8 here out of principle.

And they have 2 weeks to prepare. Which you wouldn't think was possible with a September 9th game.
 
I was a little pessimistic with Tennessee so I'm going to be optimistic here. .9 chance to win.
 
We should win this game outright but we'll probably scrape by barely while their band plays over all of our songs the entire time.

Ouch, I had not noticed that. That's a 4th team facing Tech off a BYE this year.

Not ideal, but it is what it is.

Jax State has the longest league winning streak in division-1 at 24 straight games (Alabama is #2 at 17 straight).

Jax State will play another game in a big stadium in Atlanta this year. They play KSU at SunTrust Park on 11/17.
 
They have a strong winning program. They lost to 2015 AU with a score of 20 to 27 in over time, but lost to LSU in 2016, 13 to 34.

I think GT will win... but this game cannot be overlooked on a short week. What would you choose for GSU 2014 (JSU is similar type of opponent)? This is not like playing Elon or some other average lower tier team.

Also, a win in against UT might cause an overlook... and a loss could cause a hang over on a short week.

I am just giving JSU a little respect given the strength of their program at their level.

I'm sure the JSU game has been scheduled longer than the Labor Day game, but it had to be fairly inexpensive to get out of even by GT standards. On 4 and a half days rest, I'd have done everything I could within reason to get out of this game. Yes, GT should still win by 2 or 3 scores, but no one is getting judged on the strength of their FCS games, so why make it tougher than you have to?
 
JSU has had its share of SEC transfers then and now. But I don't think this one will be much of a problem. PJ will show first half of the wofford game from 14 as a Belichickian reminder.
JSU has a tough opener too. UTC might get em.

The LSU game looks like it was more interesting than the score would indicate. Jax St led 3-0 in the 2nd quarter, resulting in LSU's starting QB being benched for the back-up. The total yds for the game was LSU 371 to JS 368.
