So they predict we'll go 6-6 with a decent shot at 7-5. I think some of the percentages are off but don't wholeheartedly disagree based on the one game sample size they have. Will be interesting to see what these numbers look like after the next 2 games
 
Tech beating Clemson in ATL is much higher than 12%. Fans show out every year for that game hard and they haven't beat us in 13 years at home. Their offense is averaging under 20ppg during that time I think. Night game at Bobby Dodd does not shine favorably for opponents.

9/22. Welcome Back To Atlanta v4.0
 
Just so you know, Mercer is READY. They played the triple-option Citadel and they know everything there is to know about your offense. Citadel runs it like a machine, even though the coach is new and it was his first game. They're bored with the triple option and ready to move on hopefully to a vintage Wishbone. Coach is trying to keep them from taking Tech lightly. They did lose to Citadel but that's incidental--the point was achieving precision TO defense pre-Tech, and this has been accomplished. Mercer: you can hear them coming.

I hope they don't play assignment football. I'll delete this post in one hour.

chance moved down for Vandy, 55.6%, so about a coin flip
