So Close!

Post by Ivytalk »

Former FCS stalwart Georgia Southern fell behind Georgia Tech at half, 35-10, then roared back to take 38-35 lead. After a late GSU turnover (after loss of starting QB Ellison), Tech scored on a pass with 23 seconds left to win, 42-38. :( Second heartbreaking Eagles loss to ACC opponent this year. Would have been cool to beat former Eags coach Paul Johnson.

Ga South has been tearing it up. Easily could be 2-0 vs the ACC right now.

Not so surprising then, that Seantaylor and the other few GSU trolls are spending no time here, while Apphole et al cant seem to find their way out the door

I predict GSU skullficks ASU by at least 17

The ACC officials gave that game to GT

It's still early, but my gut says Willie Fritz will be at a 7-figure coaching job within 3 years. He doesn't just win everywhere he goes, he takes the programs to unprecedented levels of success. He put Blinn on the juco football map, made a winner out of a floundering DII team, and is responsible for at least half of the playoff wins SHSU had in their history.

The most amazing thing to me is how well we are throwing the ball. Kevin Ellison (recruited by Monken) looks like a conventional QB.

And PJ was not a happy camper after the game.
He totally intended to run us out of the building (and damn near did it by halftime). This "new" offense we run is nasty. If Ellison can stay healthy, he will set most every GS QB record. Watching him throw a deep ball on the run with the accuracy he has is intoxicating.
When Fritz arrived, he was flabbergasted with the talent we have at WR...physical receivers (wide linemen in the old offense) who can run and catch the ball, and amazed with the speed we have in the other skill positions. He and Ruse are like kids in a candy store. :thumb:

Intoxicating. Nice verbiage. Ellison is a true guinea.
