5 reasons Georgia Tech will win at Miami

by Mark Bradley



1. Paul Johnson coaches Georgia Tech. Randy Shannon coaches Miami. Mismatch.

2. Tech just got a crash course in how to handle a Thursday night game. The home team will be pumped and will start fast. The visitor must ride out the first quarter and stay close, which is doubly important if …

3. You’re a running team, which Tech is. The Jackets can’t get too far behind. But they won’t. Indeed, their capacity to control the ball and the clock will help douse Miami’s early fire. Which means …

4. It will come down to execution. That’s a mismatch, too. Miami beat Florida State because FSU is even sloppier than the U. Tech can get sloppy, but not when it matters. And, in case you haven’t noticed …

5. Tech owns Miami. Even Chan Gailey beat the Hurricanes. As Inspector Clouseau would say, “The case, she is sol-ved.”

How long is it going to take to dispel this myth??? Didn't we run the football and make a huge comeback against UGA last year?

LOL, so true :laugher: just funny the way Mark Bradley just knows this is logical reasoning.

It's the only thing up there I really agree with.

We don't run the damn ball like Woody Hayes. We have more big plays running the ball than most teams who pass the ball all the time. Just stop it with the "if they get behind". No wonder CPJ is short with the media. I'm tired of hearing it.

I agree with his execution bit though. We NEED to execute better and that game in Tally definitely looked like a slop fest to me.

we need to do EVERYTHING better than we have performed to date. First road game--we did okay on the road last year, but could have done better. Miami's speed on defense will be turned against them. I fully expect us to have a big night running the ball. Last year CPJ befuddled them by passing early, and then carved them up. I don't know what the tactic will be this year, but I expect some kind of "new" look to confuse them. I think we will score 40 points or more. Our defense has got to stop them and get us the ball ---it will take five or six possessions for us to determine what will work against them, but when CPJ sees it, it will be game-set-match.
