Possibility of a letdown?

It is 100% certain that our team will not be as motivated or focused as they were at Auburn. Let's hope they wont be as unmotivated as they were against SLU.

Those guys have had a hell of a high this week after that great victory on the plains. No way they will be motivated for LaTech after the week they have had. Of course, I think the 20 point line reflects that, as we would be a 40 point favorite if talent were the only thing taken into consideration.

I don’t think we see a letdown. I think the 2nd half of the Miami game when they got conservative carried over to Southeastern and they lost focus. They just played a full 4 quarters of hard-hitting football on the road against a top ten team and won on a last second field goal. Momentum is sky high right now and I don’t see them letting Tech hang around long. They’re going to want to keep that momentum going and give Tiger Stadium a great effort. They’re ready to get back home and show the home crowd what they can do. Hopefully it plays out this way and we can get Brennan and other young guys some snaps later in the game.

our schedule forward is an absolute grind. This weekend, Arkansas and Rice are the only semi-relaxing ones the rest of the way through. So many things will have to fall our way and I'm hoping they do. One game at a time.

What worries me is how tough Tech has been playing Power 5 teams the last couple of years, especially SEC teams.

The aren’t the worst team we’ll see this year. We should win handily, but 4 quarters of flat football will cause some serious sweating.

I always wonder why people think elite athletes won’t be motivated. I get that playing against Auburn at home had much more at stake but most athletes I know hate losing at at anything. You practice year round for only 12 to 14 games. I can’t imagine that Burrow wouldn’t want to throw for 4 TDs, any running back wouldnt want to break a long one or Devin White won’t be going his usual 100%

If we get up by 30, our offense is going back into its shell. It will only poke it's head back out if they start making a comeback. I'm not saying I approve or disapprove, only that this is extremely likely to occur,

AND we will play a lot of inexperienced guys and let a lot of starters rest and recover from the brutal auburn game. tech will not do this

Nope. Not this week. Beatdown.

Its called they are beat to hell from just having a street fight with a bunch of big nasties that are every bit as tough as we are. Now we are playing a team we are favored by 3 tds. Its going to be very tough for these guys to come in full speed. Hopefully the staff is up to the challenge. If we blow tech’s doors off this weekend its going to be a very good sign moving forward, i just dont think that will be the case. A 20 pt win would be awesome imo.
