Sorry. More like a snafu fest where the more determined team won. I recognize Key is building. I also know that everything he is trying to build can be gone at every position by NIL. He and you should also.
+100. They were pretty good last year and have almost everyone back. Aiden Birr seems to be continuing the GT FG kicker tradition of being great one year, then regressing.
They seem to have an edge to them last year and even against FSU, but I haven’t seen it since.
Fair enough. In the FA known as NIL, you’re 100% right. I just watched Eddie Kelly make a sack for Mizzou in 2 OT against Vandy.
You mean the physical style of football that Key eludes to in his interviews. Maybe he could but it doesn’t seem he can inspire those guys to give that.
At least not from the linemen. It was trotted out that we have 16 former linemen on our staff.
Is this a stubborn pride issue with Key?
I don’t believe he is overruling Faulkner unless he has demanded we have a 2:1 run:pass ratio which I suppose is possible.
Wholeheartedly agree, of course you're an expert. Helps you win games & ever since Johnson was head coach I'm much more aware of what our lines are doing. Football really is a beautiful thing when you got a bunch of nasty guys up front looking for defenders to punish every play. Never forget that mutt game when some of their D were literally running from our OL, WRs and RBs trying to avoid contact instead of trying to tackle whoever had the ball for us.
I don't think so. Just my opinion, tho. Even in obvious passing situations, HK had very little time to get the ball out.
Honestly this is where I’m puzzled through 5 games. The way the GT OL finished the 2nd half of the season + bowl I really believed that the O could carry GT to wins by grinding out the clock. The FSU game was fools gold, because there were indications of running game issues against Georgia State.
There are many things that go into “scheduling” not just our choice of how to make a schedule. There are also many things that go into building a program outside of your coaching staff, players and fans. Week 0 worked remarkably well for GT.
Good post. The FA nonsense is unsustainable long term and something like a hard cap will need to be put in place from a school to player payout. That whole legal battle vs the NCAA needs to be resolved sooner rather than later. Unfortunately this will require both representation from the players in addition to the conferences/schools to come to a final agreement. I know the shared payouts are across all sports which is another hurdle.
I can’t disagree, but sometimes Krazie you gotta motivate yourself to kick someone’s ass
Agreeeeeeeeeeeeee
ACC controls scheduling for most part with some to little input from the schools
I get it. But GT bends the knee more than anyone else it seems. Take the schedule in general. They lost a home game to FSU (Ireland) and ND (MBS). Heck, FSU hasn’t even technically played a “road game” yet and has had a “bye” already. So you’re telling me GT couldn’t have had a “bye” after VMI? Come on.
we bend over a lot. not sure how the knee thing fits into it though, maybe ankle grabbing with knees locked?
Hold on USC, I didn’t say I disagreed. I actually agree with what you say. The MBS was done by previous admin, plus I think we could ask for more when it comes to scheduling.
I know. I wasn’t disagreeing with you either. Just throwing out my 2 cents. Just wish GT would actually put their foot down for a change.
