Hard to stop anybody when you're giving 'em that much time to throw

Rutgers doing what they do best...choking in the clutch. Only 2 turnovers and 4 sacks allowed in the 1st quarter. Down 21-3 to a not-yet-blow-eligible UConn.

A little sign of life in Atlanta, now to avoid giving up anything in the final 1:12 of the half.

I hate this icing crap. I think they are less prepared on the first kick at this point b/c they are just waiting for the timeout. Surprise them by not calling it.

{shrug} Shit happens. Ideally though you actually, you know, call the f'n timeout before the ball is snapped.

Here's a thought: GT could fire their defensive coordinator & hire a special teams coach. Might improve both units.

UConn is up by 27 on Rutgers early in the third.
If UConn wins, all Big East teams will have a shot at becoming bowl eligible next week. |

That was a weird interception that Tevin threw.
Good stop by Tech but man, they need to score a TD on this drive. |

I know Maryland is completely irrelevant this year, but I'm still happy to see their performance in this game.
By and large, they've looked like a different team than the one I watched all year. I kinda wish the team playing today had showed up for all the home games I was at. Would have made those a lot more fun... /tk

Maybe an OC is also in order at GT.
Completely f'n ridiculous to have a team, and a coaching staff, look this lost at this level. The defensive back 8 look like a mediocre high school team, it's rare to see players turned inside out as frequently as this group manages.

Meanwhile, I hope Wyoming beats Boise State. I mean, since the blue turfers choked away their chance at the national title game that apparently waters down the meaning of the season, they might as well lose a game at home to the Pokes so they can solidify a shot at a less crappy bowl thanks to the MWC's awful slate of bowl tie-ins. Not bad for a team that started the year without a QB.

+1 The arrogant SOB calls plays like he's high, has put together one of the least effective staffs in the history of college football and there's no more damning indictment than the almost complete lack of legitimate D1 talent that he's been able to recruit. The problem isn't the offensive system, it's the people running it. It's time for him to go & it can't be soon enough. But given the financial situation & the extreme willingness for so many at GT to accept mediocrity, the dumb bastard ain't going anywhere any time soon.

That was just brilliant. Not sure what's worse today, CPJ's playcalling once they reached midfield on that drive or Tevin's accuracy.
What sort of fucking idiot throws on 3rd & 6 there, setting up a virtually impossible 4th & 6?

I grew up a Notre Dame fan and went to Georgia Tech. The similarities between Paul Johnson and Charlie Weis are insane. Both arrogant, my-system-will-always-work, no adjustments coaches. Both completely ignored the defense and special teams side of things.
One difference is that Weis actually got legitimate D1 talent. I guess its fine since we are selling out the stadium now at Tech though. At least when Clemson and UGA are in town. |

Fair enough.
Someone wake me when Paul Johnson is gone. I think the big issue the next coach will have is the mess of no talent on the roster. Given that everyone gets about 3 years to build a program, who will want to inherit this mess? Last edited by bob : 11-26-2011 at 02:09 PM. |

It's at least 2 years before I can see him going anywhere, the mess will be almost certainly be considerably worse. You literally couldn't combine the rosters at GT & Tennessee and field a decent D1 team at this point. It'll take a complete genius to rebuild the sort of clusterfucks that exist in Knoxville or Atlanta. Problem is, neither team has a genius in sight

The sad thing (for my cfb viewing at least) is that things are actually worse in Knoxville than they are in Atlanta. Honestly, the Jackets don't know from FUBAR compared to that abomination.

And Tennessee hits their lowest point in nearly three decades, getting completely outplayed at Kentucky.

I think you guys have hit the nail on the head...I hear all the stuff about "high school offense" when it comes to GT and those people are all wrong. It's not the X's and O's that are the problem at GT, it's Paul Johnson himself. He would be much more successful at this level as someone's offensive coordinator, but as a head coach, he has zero of the necessary interpersonal skills to succeed in a BCS conference. He's never going to get the QB talent to run that offense at a high level because he can't sell it to the elite recruits. He's never going to build the GT fanbase with sidewalk fans, because he comes across as an ass and doesn't give a damn about what the fans think. The idiotic hire of Al Groh wasn't personality driven, but that was just a stupid hire in general. Facing a PJ team is always scary (from this VT fan's point of view), but they'll never challenge for anything significant with him in charge of the program.
Edit - In regards to the game today, though, it was nice to see the local boy (Synjyn Days) look good. Tevin Washington is a horrible quarterback...might be as bad as Sunseri at Pitt. Last edited by VPI97 : 11-26-2011 at 02:35 PM. |

It'd be an upgrade if he even attempted to sell it to a few decent OL recruits. Quote:

Don't be too enthused by Days beyond a few moments today. There are several reasons he saw less & less p.t. as the season wore on, among them problems holding onto the football & problems avoiding throwing to people wearing the wrong color jersey. If you consistently look bad in practice against the GT defense, imagine how ugly it could get against a team that actually had talent or coaching.

While it was way too close and some awful penalties almost did us in, Jon's comments about Paul Johnson make me appreciate Brady Hoke that much more. He's a guy who just gets it. I don't even know how else to describe him. Couldn't be happier to have him as the head man at Michigan.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think he'll be a great QB at GT...I saw him play at Hillgrove and he was erratic as a passer, but even then, he may be an upgrade from Washington...but not by much. I just like to see the Powder Springs kids do well. |
