Paging Mr. Ryan...

Now, now BOR... you know that Chan is a wonderful Christian gentleman, and would never use a word such as "Damn." Young, fine men wouldn't want to come to Georgia Tech to play football if he used that kind of language. In fact, your usage of this word might have just lost us a recruit. What if one of them was reading this board right now? You need to be a better Tech fan than that.
 
I thought the right play on 3rd and 20 was a draw play - to setup the field goal from the far hash.....

If we had Matt Ryan, I doubt Gailey would let him call plays in the 2 minute drill.
 
What a great example of the differences between a coach that puts it on the line and a dud that is just looking to "not lose". 3rd and 20, with much more on the line that we ever had, and they throw the ball for the game winning TD. Chan would've ran on 1st, 2nd and 3rd down, just wanting to kick the FG. I'm so sick of Chan Ball.
 
Not that Chan would have made any of these calls, but the announcers stated that Matt Ryan called all of the plays during the two TD drives.

That last TD pass was incredible.

I remember looking at Va Tech after the second drive and knowing they had no chance because their QB is bad.

QB play makes a huge difference. We were so fortunate to have Hamilton and Godsey.


No matter who is the coach for us, if we don't have good QB play we will always be in trouble.
 
Paging Mr. Ryan..

..Chuck Norris on line 3, shall I take another message?
 
I wouldn't give the coaching too much credit on their play calling.

Mr. Ryan?
 
Lets compare apples for a minute:

BC has Matt Ryan, 5th yr sr., Heisman candidate, he's so good, the coach lets him call his own plays in the 2 minute drill

we have Taylor Bennet, 1st yr. starter, started fewer than 15 college football games, coaches call him conservative, erratic accuracy at best

BC has experienced receivers, with big time hands in crucial situations

we have, on average, inexperienced young athletes with butter fingers.

BC has an aweful place kicker, very iffy beyond 40 yds.

we have Travis Bell, very consistant beyond 40 yds.

The winning completion: right handed QB rolling left, throwing right, across the field, against his momentum, feet not set, all arm.

After comparing our strengths and weaknesses to that of BC, would you really want us doing this?
 
Would I rather us throw the ball for a very high percentage 15-yard play which the defense would most likely give us on 3rd and 20 to at least shorten the FG, or put the entire game on a 52-yard FG to win the game by a kicker who has never kicked a game winnign field goal? Um, yes. Bennett was on fire on that drive and that half, once we hit the 30-yard line our offense put on the E-brake...you drive 60-70 yards on the arm of you QB, get to the 30 and run the ball?

Lets just forget about it, I don't want to think about it anymore, its pathetic.

I'm not happy with not throwing to shorten the fieldgoal at Maryland either, but that's not what Matt Ryan did. Matt Ryan threw an unbelievable TD and that is the topic of this thread.

BTW, the fieldgoal Bell just barely missed was a potential game winner. So, by setting it up, albeit rather poorly, Chan was going for the win, not the tie.

If we'd gotten 5 on the draw play it would have been good, too.

I'm not sure how Chan would've gone for the tie(turnover and a safety?)...although I'm sure he would've had the chance arisen.

This comment makes no sense.

In fairness to our coaching staff and will no disrespect to our OL, quarterback, TE or WRs, we don't have anyone that Chuck Norris would consider fetching water for.

TB might be able to make a play like that at some future point but on 3rd and twenty, the prudent thing to do is set up a FG.

Besides, Ryan calls the plays in the 2 min drill so Jag doesn't get the credit any more than he should get the blame if the ball was picked off. The last drive was one guy: Ryan. Win or lose.

No its not. The prudent thing is to TRUST your players, LET THEM win the game and try to get the first down or at least pass for 10 yards and make it that much easier.

When a coach believes in his players, the players believe back.

I guarantee if Bennett would have been picked off in that situation, people on here would have been cursing Chan for taking an unnecessary risk.

Its situation dependant. 3rd and 20 from the 30-35 yard line pass the dam ball.

3rd and goal from the 10....run it.

two different situations.

It makes sense if compared to BC's situation. Both teams were going for the win. It just gives more reason to play it conservative it that situation.

I still think a safe pass, if there is such a thing, would have been my call.
