Thoughts thru 4 games & Pitt

[TechAKnee]

This team was a few plays away from being 4-0. I think it’s fair to say they have the ability to outperform the expectations many of us had going into this season and definitely into last nights game. I have no desire to extend contracts after a 1 big win, but I will contribute to supplying Collins with more lip gloss. It felt great seeing us have success in all phases last night. Coaches and players brought it, so now it’s time for us fans to show up Saturday and channel our inner moutaineer!

The only time I got nervous was when our punt team was out there. There was either a breakdown in blocking assignments or the punter took too long to get the punt off. Other than that I really liked what I saw last night.

Here’s an obscure stat I want to hear.

When’s the last time a GT defense stuffed a 2nd and 1, 3rd and 1, and 4th and 1 on back-to-back-to-back plays?

Probably since Dodd. If not longer.

I think going into the season, most of us wanted this team to win the games it was supposed to, and then take at least one that we weren't.

So far we've lost one game that we were supposed to win and won one that we weren't. Wouldn't like where we are just looking at it that way, but I love the way we've looked the last two weeks

Well for starters Roof and Groh never really had 4th and 1. Plenty of 2nd and 1 snaps however.

Most teams would just convert 3rd and 16 against Roof's or Groh's defenses

Clemson 2004, Whitehurst runs for 9 on 1st, and we stuff the next 2 plays, before the snap rolls past the punter and the rest is history.

Usually happens on a goal line stand

The football world learned the name Calvin Johnson that night.

Great question - I think that was the moment my confidence in this team boosted to high orbit.

I think i remember Keith Brooking and Ron Rogers era Defense doing that on the goaline back in the day, maybe vs. UNC?

Also, when was the last time we won @ the Dome / MBS?

We never took our foot off the gas in this one! One could say KSU as well. 1989 we came out and laid some eggs early, but then it started to click, this team is starting to click. We beat Pitt, I’m on the hype train. Especially for next year.

Hard to tell if Pitt is any good or not. We will see this weekend. They beat Tennessee, but that is looking not too impressive. The other wins were str8up patsies
