It's telling that his HS teammate doesn't seem to be having the same issues. He's a beat or 3 late on a lot of his throws and isn't taking open sure completions. His completion percentage is consistently too low now. He's got the arm so hopefully that game winning drive settles him down. That pick in the 4th was a horrendous set of decisions. Why he didn't throw it to his first read is a mystery to me, but after he double clutched that throwing the ball cross body into traffic to a receiver who isn't looking was obviously a mistake.

The receiver should have been looking. What else did he have to look at?

This turned out as well as we could have hoped.

We win, the coaches have lots to bitch about in practice, and the QB we will have to use developed before our eyes.

It’s one thing to be a football pessimist as a Tech fan. It’s another thing to write this team off as a “6-6 team with a loser coach” when there’s still 1:30 on the clock and the rock.

We have certainly won more than our fair share of close games under Key. Nice to be able to say.

 

[Bremstrahlung]

You could see the stuff before the 2nd kick drop almost straight down. The wind definitely slowed during the timeout.

Great coaching....

And 6-1 against ranked ACC opponents

But some teams are guaranteed a winning season already, so the claim falls flat on its lame face

I don't disagree, but your argument is not with me. I think the qualifier ("finished") is rather childish.

We are a team that has learned how to win tough games, this is progress. I havent heard anyone mention how well the O Line pass blocked last night. Philo had all day to throw on every drop back. Pack had maybe 1 QB hurry?

 

[Supersize that order mutt]

The defense against the run and containment was horrendous. I did see quite a bit of holding by the Wolfpack OL so that had a little to do with it. Our tackling was very suspect though. I think Philo may have the best arm of any QB that has played here. He has plenty of zip and puts the ball in great position on his deep passes. Our receivers are going to have to perform better when we play the Dogs next Friday or it will be a long game. Special props to Birr. To say I've been somewhat critical would be an understatement, but he seems to have figured out what was causing his inaccuracies. A W is a W period.

Birr's problems have all been when he kicked from the hash-marks. None of his attempts last night were from the hashmarks, and he nailed them all.

 

[BigGTMike]

Secondary tackling...atrocious. That QB ran no better than a 4.8 and he was just trotting along. A few of them were "cover zero" according to the booth but at least one guy had a shot usually. Get him on the ground!!!

Punting...even worse. We were losing 30 yards on punt exchanges with NCS. It's hard to believe there isn't another solution there. UGA will block at least one if they really want to.

We need some folks to heal quickly. Team fights hard.

I thought the last one was from the right hash. Key even mentioned that as being a problem are for him in the post game presser.

Last one was def from the right hash. I said, "oh öööö" to my fellow fans around me.

You’re correct @andrew, the last was from the right hash. If my memory is correct his struggles have been from the left hash.

 

[AugustaJacket]

If it helps or not, my 79 y/o FIL said this morning WTTE GT might not be the best team right now, but their fans are loud. LOL. They had a great time last night.

Nope, right hash was the issue and he nailed his right hash kick last night.
