We lost to Maryland

If anything this team is inconsistent. Apologies in advance for typos as I am writing on my phone at a reverse tailgate.

This season Tech has figured out to beat good teams, and lose to average ones. It's been both a bumpy and enjoyable ride.

Walking out of Lane, I thought about the loss and the reasons for it. I couldn't peg one thing. There were breakdowns on special teams, the defense couldn't bottle up C.J. Brown early, pass protection was sketchy, etc...

I thought for sure the Miami blowout would be catalyst for a trip to Charlotte. Unfortunately, this team seems on a path for 8-or-so wins, like many of us thought in August. Change is tough, and rebuilding doesn't happen overnight.
