Official postgame: We WON!!!!

[gtg712x]

Dontae was the difference maker. He converted two 3rd downs that would have been stopped before. Great to have him back. Any chance he sat to preserve a redshirt?

I knew a few guys when I was at Tech that were 7th years. öööö it, why not.

Hope Tez Walker is OK.... what a great hit, though.

Could have cracked ribs. He did not see that hit coming.

 

[ncyj]

öööö Tez walker. He shouldn’t even be playing. Ncaa is a joke for caving in one transfer rule.

First time in a long time we've beat an ACC opponent without a massive turnover differential advantage.

This one just felt…different. I hope this is one we look back on as a turning point for the program.

I stay in the stadium until the cops are kicking us out. Slow walk to w21 and there is still a line to exit the lot.

WTF is going on?

 

[fatmike91]

We're in 4th place in the ACC standings.

Sorry, not sure what happened there. Too much booze. Deal with it.

How many rushing yards did they have in the 4th? It seemed like we at least slowed them down in the 4th by bringing in bigger LBs.

To answer my own question:
6 runs for 15 yds in the 4th - 2.5
19 for 104 in the 3rd - 5.5
22 for 148 in the first half - 6.7

Not to overstate the importance, but it seems obvious to me that having Oliver and Efford in the game is pretty important for our defense. Moala as the third LB in run situations, flex him and Tatum in for 10/01 personnel, against 11 personnel probably a mix of Efford/Moala/Tatum based on down and distance. Tatum just isn't big enough to be in a 6 man box against the run consistently.

Its all new to them. I was listening to the scanner and the Head of Security kept asking the same question but no one would answer:

“What is this… Veeeeectory you speak of?”

 

[thegtstunner08]

We were there. Got a great view. Incredible win, fellas. I think we've turned a corner. Oh, and PJ smiled at me as he walked by the sideline No homo.

 

[Techfan02]

We all Bitch and moan and yet at the end all say hey we won.

KING OF STINGTALK BABY!!!

I gave my W21 pass to Steprules and walked from our hotel.
He has a little kid so they left mid 4th. We just had to walk to Tech Square and hit the bar.

"I said last week after we lost .. that we would win this game. I stand by that. Take some lithium and hold on boys ..

GT 24
UNC 23

Also, quick glance this game has 2nd highest total points of any game this week according to vegas. 64."

I didn't get the score right but Vegas sure as hell knew some scoring was going to happen.

Great game .. just absolutely great.

With the general futility in recent years (and especially at BDS), coupled with pandemic stuff, this is probably the best home win and most exciting sports experience for current Tech students by a pretty wide margin.

 

[WracerX]

Entirely possible that UL makes the acccg, because they beat us while trailing by 15 in the 3rd quarter, while uNC lost to us while leading us by 12 in the 3rd quarter.

 

[JJacket]

ACCN post game stat:

Jackets have beat the tarholes 19 out of the last 25 times

21-9 all time at home vs UNC

 

[MeatWrench]

Tech Men! Well done Jackets! This team did NOT quit tonight. Fought hard all night long.

I quit in the stands. I went for a walk around the stadium after 14-0. They did not quit. They brought me back. When we forced that fumble, our sideline was composed as öööö. THAT is coaching. We went out after the injury and we played composed. THAT is Brent Key.

Yea if we beat UL we’d be looking like a ACCCG lock. Of course, we have our own miracle comebacks and lucky wins as well.
