Taylor was awful today

[chilidogking]

I just got back from the game, and I can see why we haven't seen Taylor before. He was so bad! Couldn't move the offense one bit! I'm glad we didn't have to suffer through him all year!

I'm also glad they serve beer in the staduim.

IF Reggie had been running WVU's offense instead of Nix's, he would have been an effective QB.

Nix's offense is simply throw the ball down field. Taylor does that better than Reggie, but when WVU made halftime adjustments to stop it, Nix had no answer. If we had not had Calvin, the long passing game would not have worked with Bennett.

We were shut out by a bad pass defense for 28:47 of the second half. We have passing problems, but it was not Reggie (and it is not Bennett) that we needed to be concerned about.

what about the 160yds Choice had?

Or the other Johnson's catches?

WV may not have the best D but they won 11 games this year and were ranked top 5 for much of this year.

Nix certainly was not the problem today.

Nix certainly was not the problem today.

We were shut out for substantially the entire second half (the last 28:48) because WVU made adjustments at half time to stop the long passes (the only thing that was working in our offense). Nix had no answer.

Nix WAS the problem. I hope that you can analyze facts and apply the law to them better than you can analyze a football game.

Nix does not know how to take what a defense gives the offense. He is pitiful.

If WVU's adjustments at halftime were what stopped us, why did our first drive after halftime successful?

I've got the play-by-play in the third and fourth quarters up on ESPN. Basically, we gave up the lead in the third quarter because of some secondary breakdowns and the WVU kickoff recovery. Our offense didn't have the ball for very long in the third quarter due to the kickoff recovery, and they still scored a touchdown.

The fourth quarter consisted of a whole two drives by Georgia Tech:

- A good sized drive that went 52 yards with two medium sized passes to Calvin and a long run by Choice. Then, we had a holding penalty on 1st and 10 that led to the 3rd and 16 where Taylor threw an interception. Now, I give the WVU secondary credit for playing more aggressive against our receivers, but that play was a bit too aggressive and it should have been called as such.

- Next drive, we had a good run by Choice negated by a marginal block in the back. I don't think it that bad of a call, but it was a helluva thing to negate a key first down.

In the end, the offense still scored 35 points and the defense and special teams didn't hold up their end of the bargain. I mean, if scoring 28 points in the first half against WVU was so easy, how did Louisville's high power offense only score 16 in the first half agaisnt them?

Nix just can't win with some of you guys. Rip Tenuta if you want to rip someone. WVU ran maybe 4 plays and still had us running around like chickens with our heads out there.

No. The problem is our freakin Head Coach has never given this kid a chance and its completely obvious that he is a stubborn mule- If Bennett had a year of experience, and did a phenomenal job in his 3rd real game of his career with no experience, we may have scored 45. Our coach decides to kick a 54 yard field
with 5 minutes left after he blatantly stated he wouldnt try anything over 47yards- and theres 5 minutes left in the game! You dont kick against Wake from 35 but you do with 5 min left against WVU! Its a shame that this kid has not been given a chance and that the seniors leave with a moron decision maker who is too stubborn and doesnt have the guts over the course of the last year to have at least given this kid a chance. Its obvious after 1 game, only 1, that this kid is already abetter decisionmaker and QB overall than Reggie Ball and Bennett only has 2 starts. And by the way, I was embarassed for him in that halftime interview- can he at least for once sound like he knows whats going on. Oh well, another "wait till next year" after a 9-5 (same as 7-4, yet much weaker schedule this year than normal) season. Its called FLATLINE.

I was hoping that someone would ask that. That "drive" was really one long pass to Calvin--thrown into TRIPLE coverage. CJ is the only receiver in college football that could have pulled it in.

It should have been a message to Nix that deep passes were not going to work in the second half, but he is too inept to understand how to adjust.

And he didn't.

When a defense takes away one thing, they give up another. It is hard to see DBs on TV, but WVU was probably giving up the short stuff in the middle. They had seen enough film to know that we NEVER throw there.
