Opponent- GT total yards/Opponent total yards-GT biggest lead in game- W/L

BC- 343/505 -21-7 2Q -L
UM- 329/563 -28-24 4Q -L
VPI- 366/491 -no lead -L
UVA- 570/636 -13-0 1Q -L
Duke- 440/489 -14-0 1Q -W
Pitt- 432/589 -no lead -L
UNC- 394/369 -45-22 F -W
CU- 309/285 -no lead -L

Avg- 398/491
In 1 W (UNC) had lead at half and added to it in second half.
In 1 W (Duke) had early lead, lost lead in 4Q, came back and won late.
In 2 L’s (BC,UVA) had 2TD leads in first half.
In 1 L (UM) had 4Q lead.
In 3 L’s (VPI,Pitt,CU) never had lead.

Just taking these numbers on the surface, and not taking into account the game itself -seeing the mistakes, mishaps, bad play calling, untimely penalties, etc, an argument could be made that this team could be 4-4, if not 5-3, in ACC play. Duke + UNC were wins, BC + UM + (arguably) CU, could have been wins. Although the end-game total yards vs BC + UM make it hard to rationalize, “could have won” -but both games were winnable as Tech held leads in both.

On the flip side, Duke could have been a loss. So, 4-4 in ACC play should have been a realistic result.

lol, I reread my post and, yeah, touché.

I drive my wife crazy with my analogies of life through the use of numbers. “Honey, I graduated high school 38 years ago in 1983, 38 years prior to that World War ll ended.” I get a why the F am I married to a numbers nerd look.

Anyway, my point was we should have won more damn games than we did.

I had totally forgotten we blew a two score lead in the UVA game and had the lead 4Q against Miami. Choke artists.

Yeah. On offense, our first couple of scripted drives are unstoppable, then the other team adjusts and we don't figure it out until late in the game.

If that. Most of the time we still don’t figure it out late.

It just sucks to see Patenaude be so creative and calculating early on and then just run around like a chicken with its head cutoff whenever the D adjusts to it.It genuinely seem like he panics, especially in the redzone.

I think the offensive line getting worn down during the game cause of little depth is a contributing factor.

It could be. But the 2nd quarter is our worst scoring quarter. It’s hard to gauge since we take some desperation shots in the 4th.
 
how do we rank in ACC on those 2 stats? Off yd/game, Def yd/game allowed. The offensive output could be argued to be pretty good. Defensively that is abysmal.

From what I recall our best performance tends to be the 1st and 3rd quarters, with the 1st being a good bit better I thought. So both of those are coming off of breaks from playing. Could still also be an adjustments thing (we make some over half, then get adjusted against in the 4th) and tiring out in a quarter is maybe a stretch (our offensive line depth could be thin enough though, in the 2nd half of the year at least).

It isn't that we lost games......it is who we lost them to.

VPI....already fired their coach.....we never led.
Miami.....soon to fire their coach.
NIU........G5 school
Duke....should have lost.....coach leaving at the end of year probably.
