That offense is incredibly hard to defend even with a week for preperation. Possibly with two weeks, definitely with an entire off-season, but it just requires an entirely different defensive scheme. I don't think anyone really wants to play them at this point.

They've definitely got to be the team to beat in the ACC. Looking at their schedule they should be favored in all of their games until they finish up with Georgia.

I was talking to my cousin about this. He coaches with Miss St. He said its almost impossible to prepare for because they are so disciplined with the wishbone. Ga Tech racked up like 300 yards rushing against MSU just fyi.

I'm stoked my Jackets are doing well

and this week they did it with a true frosh QB starting in place of injured starter.

and they actually finished with more passing yards than rushing yards today (230 to 224)

if teams have to start watching out for a pass every now and then, watch out what this team can do

Wasn't Thomas the only one with a catch? Their offense is ridiculously effective.

I know it's a part of the game, but GT would've demolished VT if it weren't for the 3 turnovers.

Maybe so but Va. Tech is the team to beat since they are in command of their division(Which is Ga. Tech's division).

Yeah, and VT's schedule is cake. I don't see them losing two games in conference.

GT is very good and are the youngest team in the ACC. All skill position starters are Sophomores or younger. They had no business losing that game to Virginia Tech. They will be really tough over the next couple years.

Teams will have more time/experience against that spread, so unless CPJ can get his QB to complete some passes down the field then the production is gonna drop.

Sadly I agree. Going to need BC and FSU I guess to knock them off.

GT could finish the year with 1 loss (at least going into the UGA game). The defense is playing fantastic, and I really don't feel the offense is rolling yet.

The production will definitely increase next year. If you look at Navy when Paul Johnson took over there, they struggled a little offensively the 1st year and then got progressively better after that.

GT's experience with making the proper reads etc will be a bigger benefit than people seeing the offense will be a detriment.

Very good Offense..awkward to deal with..make you fear them attacking most any part of the field..and account for their RBs around the edges and slipping out the backfield.

Was it the long ball threat that showed up today or was it more of a methodical nickel and dime? I'd interested because of the two games I watched, Nesbitt looked like absolute trash throwing the ball. If GT can truly develop that passing game...watch out. They're a better team than we all thought previously. Even considering I had them a lot higher than most...

I think BC has a real good chance of meeting GT in a rematch down in Tampa.our QB finally has gotten his rhythm back.(showed great stuff VS NC State yesterday)

its wide open in the Atlantic division.
