The öööö they said about Tech is more bothersome this year for some reason.

Anonymous comments are not worthy of consideration. Pre-season football magazines, when read six months after they are published, are always good for a laugh. Coach Key was 4-4 last year, including a game against the eventual national champions. We do have tough academic standards, but that is a positive factor to some players and their families. I believe that Tech is in good hands with Coach Key and that we will see progress this season.
 
only a couple of offensive returning starters?

Is that necessarily a bad thing and is it actually true?
 
Meh, non-insightful talk.

Everyone knows we have institutional barriers to competitiveness (except a lot of our own folks). We just deal with it. We all know we lost a lot of offensive playmakers from last year. CBK put together a very good staff and had a good portal season. Anyone should look at this and how we finished last year and say that we have a chance to be fairly decent team this season.

Irony that they talk about our barriers, but go on to compliment Pitt. We have barriers, but so does Pitt. And they don’t have the recruiting advantages of being in Atlanta.

I think CBK is a Narduzzi type hire. Steady build. Steady staff. Improve year over year and wait for a breakout QB.
 
I thought it was refreshing. For the first time in years, opposing coaches didn't say that they would like to punch Tech's coach in the face real hard just to watch him bleed.

It's skill positions more than OL we have 4/5 OL starters returning who started to get better as the season went, so something to look forward to.

Thanks, that is what I was thinking.

I think OL improvement drives everything else and we have several QBs to give us a few possibilities for improving there.

I believe RB/WR/TE being productive are dependent on those other positions and other than outright stars they are kind of interchangeable. We are going to get a certain number of running and receiving yards and somebody is going to get them.
 
What a lazy take. He knocks our ability to utilize the portal then doubted a high level recruit (King), whom we obtained through the portal, could be successful. And I’m not sure what point he was making about CBK being an OL coach. I bet the writer made all this up.
 
You can win 7-8 games with a decent OL - assuming you have above average skill position players. Unfortunately, Gibbs has been the only guy that checks that box recently.

I’m not gonna complain if we have an above average OL, but it won’t matter if the guys touching the ball are average themselves.
