When you don’t block

Why does Key get a pass on this?

First of all I never said Key got a pass on anything. At the end of the day the top man is responsible and should be held accountable.
Second, you have to take what you’re being given on offense and I don’t think we did that today. That’s on the OC in my opinion.
Third and most importantly in my opinion is that blocking is an attitude and having a desire to kick the s*** out of the individual you are responsible for blocking. I have not seen that since the FSU game. A coach can’t give you desire or a want to physically dominate someone, that comes from within.

Agreed. Didn't see the first half, but too many times in the 2nd half there were too many times that multiple OL guys were standing around appearing lost as our RB got stuffed at the LOS. The OL should be embarrassed with their performance to day, and the offensive coaching staff need to take a hard look at themselves for the silliness shown today.

I think it’s a combination. FSU wasn’t horrible they just weren’t as good as we were led to believe. We have not been good up front since then. Even Ga. State was a struggle at time. If you can’t win up front, you’re not going to win many games.

A pass for what exactly? Losing a hard fought game on the road to a so called Top 20 team? Where exactly do some of you get that GT is a Top 3-4 ACC team? Because in your head they should be? GT was the preseason ACC #9 team. GT is still rebuilding. This recruiting class is HUGE for GT to take the next step with weaker schedules in 2025-2026.

As far as Louisville goes, Louisville plays ND next week. A win against ND more than likely means Louisville will be 6-0 when they play Miami.
 
FSU played us straight up, believing they could handle us with their DL. We blocked them beautifully. Now teams have scouted us and realized with more numbers in the box they can stop the run. We are not taking advantage of passing the ball downfield, which is what they are daring us to do.
 
1. Run the ball up the middle when it's not working all game.
2. Abandon the forward pass until the 2nd quarter and then not really utilize it until the 4th quarter when you're playing catch-up
3. Forget to try to run outside of the tackles.
4. LB's cant cover, i.e. too slow to cover the RB out of the backfield or the TE across the middle.
5. No one on D-Line that can beat the man in front of them

Such a bad game plan. 100% on the coaches. King is not a NFL QB because he's not able to show off his talents. I'm not sure why the forward pass is completely eliminated from the game plan in the 1st quarter even when the D is set up to stop the run.

Brent Key = Chan Gailey without Calvin

Such a vanilla offense. 4th and inches...then let's kick the X point. Should have gone for it. Oh well...

Aiden Birr is not a college football kicker. He has regressed from last year. Needs to step it up.

Forget about Buster getting poached this year. I'm not impressed.

Special teams gave UL 10+ points today. We aren't good enough to give up 10 points on special teams and win.

Same reasons as last week.

Brent better have all cylinders firing after a bye week, or we don't make a bowl this year.
