I watched our game, and that's about what to expect from Tech. We haven't won a close one in awhile.
We looked about as bad as Florida did, and we had a better opponent.
For those concerned about our recruiting:
We were more talented than CU except on the Defensive Line(size). Our talent kept us in the game and dern near got us the win.
Quarterback:
AJ is not Godsey, GG had 3+ years in the system before he took his first snap. Go back and watch tape of Joe Heisman and Brandon Shaw in the early years of offense. QB's will struggle until they fully understand this offense.
AJ can do a lot of good things, but he needs good reps which he could not have gotten in the 2nd halves of our "preseason games"
Playcalling:
Conservative not because of CG, but likely the weather. No one wants to see your star back go down with an ACL due to "new" wet turf.
Our nickel back got picked on because that's the way football goes. Nobody wins with a Nickel package in 80% of the time
Bottom Line:
We lost this game, Clemson didn't win it.
Too many Mental mistakes early by the offense, and late by the defense, and consistently by the Coaches.
I tend to agree with an earlier poster, this was our real first game. We should expect improvement by Saturday. If not then some things need to be done to improve our assistants or practice situations.
Somebody tell me what "Big Bee" first two full years were...5-6,6-5. CG deserves time, but he may not get it.
Get out Saturday and do your part so that our guys do theirs.
To HELL with Georgia!!
CG's main goal must be to teach our guys to be more level headed
