re: GA Tech Accepts Peach Bowl bid

Yeah, it really was. Don't let the score blind you. A pick 6 and a garbage TD with seconds on the clock. That game was a blowout from the 2nd quarter on.

I could argue why it wasn't that bad with a few points. It was a sound beating, not a blowout, but it's midnight here, and I have to wake up at 6:30 tomorrow.

No prob. Good night, everyone.

H-Town,

you mention athletes and stopping the option...that is further from the truth. The option negates any athletic advantage that a team might have over a nother (hence Navy running it successfully). It forces a team to stay disciplined and cover their gaps, and not using their athleticism to make plays.

Obviously the option has been figured out - it's not hard to figure it out. Stopping it is a different story - especially if it's your first time facing them. We saw how well the athletes at Miami and UGA did against them. They all tried to make plays and didn't play disciplined football...obviously the coaches at LSU would preach this, but when you're trying to make a play (like all football players are taught to do), you tend to leave your assigned lanes, etc.

He's not a genius. He's a pompous windbag who will keep Tech in that 7-5 to 9-3 window but never lead them to greatness. He's running an outdated offense and is too stupid to realize it. Now maybe if he tweaked it to actually use Nesbitt's arm, that might make sense. But Paul Johnson is more overrated than Keiland Williams

It doesn't matter what the future holds for him. It matters that his team is clicking THIS YEAR and just hung 45 on Georgia, in Athens. They'll absolutely destroy us.

that's what i'm saying. our d has been leaving their assignments on basic offensive plays, much less a triple option. and missing tackles only magnifies the problem

Tech runs the option in different forms though, they run a G, Load, and Veer. Again though the key to the whole stopping the Flex-Bone/Hammbone is noticing the depth that the FB and A and B backs are lined up at, as that will key you on the type of option and steps they will take.

Don't disagree. I was cited our athletes merely to point out that we have them outmatched at each position. If we play disciplined and know our roles, we should be able to stop them. This isn't Florida, this is Georgia Tech.

The refrain on this board has been that because we've been undisciplined all season, we haven't a prayer. I think that is silly. Our players have been humiliated nationally and it's time to serve notice that we sucked in '08 but we're gonna be back in 2009. I think the players will be profoundly impacted by the (cough) resignations and realize that while those guys were in over their heads, the players helped cost those guys their jobs by playing stupid. I think 4 weeks to prepare for one team is a sufficient amount of time for a group of underachievers with great potential to play extremely well for 60 minutes of football, especially given Georgia Tech's one diminesional nature.

So I'll say it again--this one is on the players.

I have faith in my tigers, but damn do we need to step up our run defense...

The thing is all they have to do is throw in a little misdirection pass here and there and BOOM! 45 yard play.

ga tech will rush for 450 yards on LSU's d if this game happens. BOOK IT

I have given Perry and OM's D kudo's in many posts, they flat out put it on the Tigers. I think OM is the 3rd best team in the conference, yes ahead of UGA. Just think if you hadn't had all the turnovers. My P&G goggles just aren't thick enough to mask all the challenges LSU has as a team in 2008.
