CPJ is 7-1 in night games at BDS, including:
#23 Miami in 2008
#4 Virginia Tech in 2009
#5 Clemson in 2011
#9 Florida State in 2015


But he's only 2-8 against Miami with some notable, stinging loses:
- 2017 hail mary that bounced off two defenders before Miami caught it and set up the game winning field goal
- 2013 when we had 9 fumbles
- 2012 overtime loss with a goal line stand by Miami


And perhaps the biggest factors:
- Mark Richt is undefeated in BDS
- CPJ is playing for his job


Something has to give this weekend. BDS is going to be rocking.
 
Playing for his job. Wut?

But yeah we’re a force with the crowd behind us in these BDS night games.

Don't forget CPJ is 2-0 vs Miami in whiteout night games. 2008 & 2014.
 
This is a year to beat them. This is set up about as perfectly as it ever will be against Miami.

Not playing for his job, not by a long shot.

Yes, yes it is. Get the run going early and I think they'll fold up the tents since they don't have much to play for.

Another interesting tidbit...

this is the first game this year in which Miami is the point spread underdog.

If I’m not mistaken, Clemson and @VT are the only games we’ve been underdogs. And VT was only -3.5
 
Who beat us? Is CPJ 3-0 against top 10 teams at night at BDS? If so, we need more ööööing night games.

I was trying to think back about this as well, and it made me sad. I'm pretty sure it was either the 2013 or 2009 UGA team under Richt (I was thinking both of those were night games, but maybe not?).

Edit: It was 2009. 2013 was a 3:30 game.

ööööing Idiot. CPJ is getting an extension.
 
Mark Richt is not a factor. The players he puts on the field, and the team they add up to, are. It means zilch that Richt won with X number of Georgia teams, so that's an empty stat. If his Miami team is sound (and I don't think it is) that stat gets padded. But if I were a betting guy I'd put my money on the home team for this one. Tech snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on the road in this game last year against a better Miami squad. You beat GT by outscoring it and forcing a turnover or two to get the option off the field, build a lead and force Johnson to pass too much. Miami has lost three straight with almost non-existent offense (#76 NCAA); their run defense is #23 which is decent but I don't think it will be enough. Game will probably be close but Tech could actually win this one going away if Rosier continues to suck.

It is surprising that we have lost so many games to CMR because he makes a few crazy game day decisions. Superior athletes I guess.

That damn Orwin Smith safety game is still killing me. Down 19-0, then we score 35 straight points, and still lose.

Oh, man, that game. Now it feels like an early exemplar of our recent problems. What year was that?

One game I always think of that could have gone the other way, against a very good Georgia team, was 2007. That UGA team beat UF with Tebow, really beat down a good Auburn team, went to the Sugar Bowl, and finished #2 nationally. Yet at Grant Field, UGA kept fumbling punts in the end zone or deep in their own territory, but Tech couldn't seem to pick one up. Otherwise the game would have gone the other way. Most of these games are much closer than folks seem to think when they just look at the overall record. 2008 UGA was #1 ranked preseason. 2014 and '16 were pretty good teams. When Richt DID make an awful decision, the squib kick, Tech pulled an upset. Again, I'll always appreciate Richt, but he'll always make weird in-game decisions.
