Where do these "feelings" come from?
O'Brien still has to prove he can raise his own QB's and run his own system. Last year he had Goose, who knew the offense backwards and forwards, and was a great decision maker during the play. But Godsey was trained under Ralph (who, we know hsa made some good QB's (Boomer, Frank Reich, Gelbaugh (SP?), Hamilton, Humpries, etc.)) while AJ had no training under Ralph.
I still say the jury is out on O'Brien as far as how good he can be. This was only his second year as an O'Coordinator, and any "feelings" you have are just that: feelings. Nothing more.
Beeware, Chan does not want Tech to win. He is hoping they lose so he can lose his job. Bilbo is better than AJ, that's why he sat on the bench.
And Nate Stimpson was a pretty good Def. Lineman.
