"On a memorable afternoon in 1976, Georgia Tech and its wishbone offense knocked off mighty Notre Dame – ranked No. 11 at the time and the team that would win it all the following season – without ever putting the ball in the air."
Negative. That will never happen. He’s an Qb and he can still throw. He didn’t just wake up one day and forget everything about throwing a football afrer being an elite 11 finalist, working with Weinke for 3 years, and all the many hours he’s put in on his own working with a Qb coach. He gets every rep in practice that Haynes gets and the benefit the coaches have with Zach and Haynes is the playbook doesn’t have to change.
That was a check Zach made on his own.
The 10 second runoff decision was wrong no matter how the game was going, but the failure to call timeout on 2nd and goal with ~1:30 left was worse. There was more than enough time for UNC’s drive to finish. They were in no danger of the clock running out or even affecting their play calls (plus UNC had timeouts if they needed them). Needed to save that time for the offense. I’m not super bright but I can’t think of a single reason to let the clock run in that situation.
We gonna kick ND's ass.
even a stopped clock amirite
Yeah, it seemed like most of the damage came when we lost contain on the QB. He hit some big runs and a couple of big downfield passes while running free outside the pocket.
otoh--we were within 10 seconds of going to OT with our #2 QB vs a team we had beaten basically like a drum stat-wise .Let that sink-in. It was closer than I like for sure..
Still won with the #2 QB to a team who out recruits us and allows barely literate SA's into the school.
I will agree analytics should play a bigger part in time management than it curretly does. You are beginning to see decisions for 4th down in the NFL be ruled by analytics but I think it can expand into time management on taking time outs, accepting or declining penalties, even whether to run the ball or pass late in the game. The decision of which option to take will be based on more assumptions than whether to go for it on 4th down or not, but I as a coach would listen to what the stat guy had to say. The seat of the pants idea is never a good business decision.
Defensive game plan sucked and they were playing a step slow. Like they were tired or sleep deprived. CBK didn't even seem his normal self. Mid season slump? Looking ahead? Hope they get the wind back in their sails this week. The win on the road was excellent though regardless. Let's Go Jackets! One game at a time. One quarter at a time.
Amen. We put pressure on the QB until we went to a three man front which allowed them to march down the field for their go ahead TD. I don’t ever want to see that again. Also Special Teams almost single handed lost that game for us.
At the very least we need a qb spy if we send only 3.
Lane Kiffin in the Sun Bowl vibes?
