Official Gameday Thread: GT vs. Clemson

[rain]

Late to this but we're playing the number one team in the country. They're starting two upperclassmen Heisman candidates at RB and QB, and we're starting true freshmen at both

I don't care how much we lose by, it won't be even close to the most embarrassing game in program history.

Which one was that?

 

[JoeCakeEater]

Lawrence finally done.

...or am assuming that since he’s over here getting blown by Dabo on the sideline.

 

[ThomsonJacket]

Atleast the tv guys are showing some love for our future

 

[johncu]

I told my buddy I expect Lawrence to play one series in the second half before he gets pulled

That’s normally what Clemson does. Since he got stopped, we might see him one more time, but I doubt it.

 

[LegendaryGT]

The game commentary talking us up as a future Bama is a plus. That is as bonkers as anything.

 

[Rodzilla]

I sure do wish we had CPJ out there today. We might of passed mid field a couple times by now.

Yea, who cares how historically bad the scoreboard is so long as we're not running a high school offense, amirite?

 

[BrentwoodJacket]

Lol, Pnope. 3rd and 6 and run up the middle

Sims is getting killed when he drops back. The O-line has reverted to last years form.

 

[JJacket]

I'm not mad but keeping Lawrence in and taking deep shots is definitely unusual. I wonder if Dabo has an axe to grind for some reason.

He has done this his entire career. Chill.

 

[OptionsJacket]

Which part are you confused about.

The expectations for the defense.

 

[swampsting]

My question is / why is Gibbs still in?
No need to waste him in this blowout
Let Smith and Griffin get some carries

He doesn't want Bama or Ugag jumping them. Plain as day.

It's unusual and I can see why it people consider it classless for sure, but I think it's good for us.

Look, we're obviously not going to win this game. But presumably we made some adjustments during half, regrouped morally, and it's good for us to get at least a few more cracks at their real offense and defense to start the second half.

If they're still doing it in the fourth quarter then I'll be holding a grudge.

 

[Jacketeer]

Atta boy Patenfraude...3 straight runs up the middle, including on 3rd and 6

Maybe. Or freshman reps against the best team in the country.

 

[johncu]

But there does come a point in time and score when coaches will generally pull their starters, and it's very odd that Dabo doesn't think that point has come. I mean we're in the third quarter of a 45 point game...

Lawrence normally gets one series in the 2nd half. I think he’s done.

The backup is still a 5* elite talent, so now we’ve got to stop him.

 

[JJacket]

We need recruits

 

[Guest1066]

TIL that geoff collins was miss state's defensive coordinator in the 2014 Orange Bowl

 

[CiraldoForever]

LOL if you think those teams would do us any differently. For that matter, LOL if you think Collins would pull our starters in the first half if we were railing some FCS team.

You’re butthurt because we aren’t good. Admit it.

So, you're a psychic. Good for you, Shawn. I do not think other teams and coaches would be so completely classless. Dodd could have won a lot of games by 100, including some against Clemson, but he had too much class. I think Dabo thinks he's got to humiliate Tech now or lose to us in three years. But, it won't work. Who wants their son to play for Dabo and come out of college as an uneducated classless person?

The “most top 100 GA players” is one of the better stat spins I’ve seen this year. We’re recruiting better for sure, but that was rich.
