Seriously, if people really want to fire Coach Roof they are not paying attention to reality. For instance, Tech's defense gave up just 3 points in the entire second half against the mighty Clemson! While our offense managed to gain just 124 yards for the entire game! And in the Miami game, if the offense had not turned the ball over twice in our own territory, Tech's defense would have likely given up just 21 points instead of 35 for the game. Plus, I believe, the defense gave up just 7 points in the second half. Those two teams are in the TOP TEN!
As for today vs. Pitt, Pitt has a well balanced offense. They have been scoring over 30 points against most teams they have played. However, their defense has given up a lot points. Tech's offense today scored 27 points. Our special teams was responsible for 7 points (thanks to JJ who ran a 96 yard kick off return). Coach Roof has been able to make adjustments in about every game we have played. Even today, we were better over all in the second half than in the first half. The last, long, touchdown they scored really hurt. But we were still tied, 34-34, until Coach Johnson stupidly went for it on fourth down in our own territory and got stuffed. He probably thought well if we don't convert the fans will blame the defense, not me. Which is exactly what some on here have done. Come on people, pay attention to what's going on! This is not rocket science.
