What Happened?

Graham has run hot and cold in crummy situations all year. He has tried hard. All due respect, if he ends up being the best QB on the roster by fall camp 2021, then that will be a huge problem.

I’m not sure on this yet. We gotta remember Graham is just a Freshman who got very limited reps in the spring due to academics

I realized after the game that we didn't get called for holding once. You'd think that after getting beat literally every play on OL, you'd just start to hold and see if you can get away with it. Very odd to see, but I guess that means their technique is good?

If you don't touch anybody, it's hard to call holding. See baller's refence to Southers on that one play.

Actually, I think this is a sign that we aren't playing well at this position. Good OTs are always holding a little and then hold a lot instead of letting their QB get killed. Our guys don't seem talented enough to do this. If it is an obvious passing game and a player rushes aggressively, we are lucky to slow him down.

I wish we could teach our O Linemen to engage like our D Line and linebackers do. When we are on defense, we have an uncanny ability to square up and run right to the O linemen and engage them.

Yeah, because they are used to practicing against the 3-oh.
 
Georgia Tech has piss poor Coaching....I went to the game, but couldn't bring myself to stay. We got our first 1st-down at about the 10:30 mark in the 2nd quarter, at which time we were already down 21-0. On the play following the first down, Mason ran for nine yards, making it second-and-one. Two plays later, we punted on fourth-and-18. I've got season tickets, so I'll go to every game to support the team (including the coaches). However, I won't stay to see a massacre if I see that we're showing no signs of improvement.

I know some Tech fans want to blame current performance on Coach Paul Johnson, because he allegedly couldn't recruit "real" football players for his obsolete offense. However, we fielded a competitive football team in all of Coach Johnson's years except one (when we were plagued by an incredible number of injuries). In fact, we typically finished first or second in the Coastal division during CPJ's tenure. I expected somewhat of a step backward when they announced Coach Collins' hiring, but I didn't expect this BIG of a step. Obviously, I'll give the coaching staff a chance to recruit "their kind" of players, but based on the results we've seen so far, it's hard to see how the program is moving forward in the right direction. Georgia Tech may be set back years after this Clown Show!

Can we just have a single thread where you, Rod and Allen fight over the bitch Queen crown?

So because your expectations weren't met = our coaching sucks. Got it. Ever thought that maybe your expectations were wrong? Noo can't be that.

One of the linked plays was to me an incredibly blatant hold that didn't get called on the LT
