easy money.. I think our RBs are still running from that offense.
 
I also remember getting stuffed by Iowa, Ole Missus, Minnesota, Miami and others. When you get your ass whooped at the LOS the option ain’t going anywhere- just like other schemes. Also, I remember we looked like a monkey trying to hump a bowling ball every time we dropped back to pass. Let’s not pretend like we won every game 56-0 in those days.

You comparing losing 24-14 in the Orange Bowl to losing 77-7, 55-0, 45-0, 42-0, 52-7, 48-0?

Looking like you’re humping a bowling ball is one thing; having a team that outright quits is another.

I remember this one as we tailgated next to a teacher from my kids' elementary school and their family who were all 'Cuse fans. They were so excited to be able to watch their team in the ATL. And their happiness quickly turned to misery.
 
Pretty sure that's the day when I realized Jim Boeheim should stick to coaching basketball.
 
Their defensive formation outside the redzone was insane. They had maybe 5 guys in the box. They never adjusted even after it was obvious the plan didn’t work.

My son and I laughed about their defensive formation all game. Every adjustment was dumber than the previous formation. We used to call PJ’s plays before the snap and whoever had the highest percentage bought beer the next game. Since we were both better than 90% that game, it was on me. Normally we were in the high 60’s. but that game it was hard to get one wrong.

Only 3 pass completions during the game, but for 88 yards, one a 46 yard TD to Waller

We had one pick thrown by.....DeAndre Smelter.

I'd like to relive some days.

I’d hump a bowling ball if it meant we could dominate bad teams again.
 
Syracuse had the dumbest defensive alignment for that game than I have seen of any tryed agiamst CPJ. Remember these were the days when many coaches had no clue how to stop the triple. They aligned two safeties about 20 yards off the line of schedule. I guess their thinking esd the only passes they complete are deep balls - IDK. But effectively it meant Tech had 10 guys to block 9 and it got ugly.

Yea. I remember telling someone on the first drive, “they don’t have a clue how to stop us.” That happened a few times in the CPJ era. There were also a few games where on the first drive you knew we would be in for a long day.
 
I just wanted to say in my opinion of following GT football since around 1960 the years under CPJ were the most fun to watch. That offense was a thing of beauty. Second most fun era was the Billy Lothridge days, the Kim KIng /Leenny Snow/Jim Stevens years were fun to watch, the Ross years were good too. then I think the O"Leary years
