Postgame Thread: GT Wins @ Vippie Sue

[GT98]

GREAT WIN … REALLY GUTSY.
Here is what I can’t figure out. If I told you VT had 460 yards to GT’s 310, and GT turned the ball over 4 times to VT’s one, you would say we got stomped. Well … that’s what happened except reverse the teams. Why was this game even close???

GT had 463 yards to VT's 297.

But yes, the red zone woes made this a close game.

Still, the guys don't quit and found a way!

Because dominating the stats and squeaking out the game is the most Georgia Tech thing ever.

I’m enjoying my crow
Thought these guys done when they went down 27-16
They never quit
No matter what else- that by itself is huge
Pyron is the bomb!

These are the types of players and plays we need to make this team great again.

Red zone playcalling. That's all it is. We saw it so many times today, including on two 2pa.

Shades of Nesbitt there

Absolutely. This guy reminds me of Nesbitt more than he does JT. Except Pyron looks like a legitimately great passer.

I’m so proud of our guys. I even noticed that the OL dug deep late on the game.

Best game I’ve seen in years.

Woah woah woah, easy now

Pyron has some Big Kahuna’s but he can’t keep taking those licks. We’ve got to recruit some decent OL’s.

Yeah, it's weird. Our run game has been really good at times this year. At other times, well...we've all seen it.

Is it just inconsistency due to youth?

Days is a class act. I said in a public post that I

Who's Pylon?

Athens band from the 80s, dang you should know this.

Turnovers. Chokies had plenty of them (4) at key points in the game.

At 28-27 and VPI approaching midfield, I was really wanting those two missed 2pa back for 2xp’s. I understand why you go for 2pa’s in those situations, but being up 30-27 in that situation would’ve been less stressful.

OL will want to play for QB’s like him

Where we went.

 

[GTRules]

Soooo disappointed that we didn’t put him in against UVA over Gibson. We win that game if we do.

Now do UCF and Sims.

 

[Milwaukee]

Unis looked great today. Just wear GWG 10 games per year with one alternate.

I blame both of these on the OL. Our OL is so bad it makes play calling in the redzone extra difficult. Similar problem with the run game, hard to run when there is no hole. Some of our run success comes when the DL over penetrates leaving a gap.
