Over/under 3 heart attacks in the fourth quarter/OT?

I think LT is above average. I think he has a high ceiling but hasn't gotten there yet. Just as you point out all of his stats, there is a lot more to QB success than that. He has gotten screwed by bad offensive coaching for his entire career--Loeffler basically said his mechanics were no good, but he is a senior. That says a lot about O'cainspring.

When he had his decent stats, he was an inexperienced QB with a very experienced line and WR corps. The former offensive staff has done horrible recruiting over the past few years and we are finally getting back on track but they aren't at Tech right now.

Finally, in his Senior season, a new offense is installed, a new line is formed, and a ton of young receivers are in the mix. His #1 TE goes down before the season starts, and DJ coales playes timid. The offensive lines showed signs of life, but not enough to protect LT or the running game. In fact, so many people criticize LT for his bad throws but criticize the O-line for the running game...what if I told you the O-line has been responsible in both cases? Well, they are.

So in summation, LT needs to improve, but with the O-line getting no push, questionable play calling in red zone plays, and WR's who drop balls even when they aren't thrown great (a QB looks as good as his WRs catch), then I can't put full blame on him or say that Leal would be better. In fact LT has more game experience which means more decision making ability...I highly doubt leal would be better and this is definitely not the time to pull LT, right before ACC play.

I am a LT supporter because I believe he can be good, but also because, as a fan, I support my coaches decision. I think he needs to improve, but everyone around him needs to as well. I will point to RG3 as my best defense: everyone knows he is great, but if the O-line isn't blocking, RB's aren't getting space, and WR's aren't catching much---how can you ask they guy to be great??? They will both improve, but this year is really going to be a test of patience.

The fact that you know the outcome will do wonders for your blood pressure.

I feel like this at the moment until we have fans that are sold-out for the team we can't move forward as a fan-base and as a team, we tear down our own team from within more than they do from the outside with analyst and stations such as ESPN. This win we got against Marshall was ugly I won't sugarcoat it, but there's work to be done and to be honest with everyone not many teams succeed offensively the first year a new Offensive coordinator takes over. Being a fan to means being patient even during losses as well as ugly games like today.

Some may call me crazy, but I still feel like this is the beginning of something special I just hate for this process to start in Logan's senior year.

I only got to listen to the 1st quarter. Wow I'll have to watch this one to see what happened.

Agreed, both teams laid it all out. Gutsy performances all over the place. Drama off the charts. Weather.

That's entertainment.

Why do you guys think Beamer didn't let CJ dress?

A win is a win..even ugly ones but we will need a fg kicker..

A win is a win. This was the definition of a trap game and Tech found a way. Bring on GT! Marshall is one of hell of a team.

Anyone see LOLUVA? 1min left in the first qrt and they have ZERO points with the rain machine moving in.

Every time the announcers mentioned Gator I thought

Wasn't pretty. Broke my remote, scared my daughter to death, blood pressure sky high but I'll take it.

And at least the game wasnt as ugly as the uniforms Maryland is wearing today

I personally don't see us getting ranked until we play consistently if they'd rank us we'd probably be in the 24th or 25th and to be completely honest I don't think we deserve it. I'd rather us go the entire year unranked if it means we sneak into the ACC championship game unnoticed. I just want us to get better every week and our coaches have there work cut out for them.

If by "best" you meant "claw-my-eyes-out-in-fits-of-anxiety-and-nearly-have-a-heart-attack-and-be-depressed-that-we-aren't-doing-anything-terribly-well," then yes. It was one of the best in a long time.

So was this the first ever 1000+ comment thread on TKP?

Ugly, UGLY game. But at least Beamerball showed up in 2/3 phases of Special Teams. Defense played so-so, with two huge turnovers. Offense got it done when it counted and had several good drives even if they didn't capitalize with points... Bring on Georgia Tech.

Well if you put it that way. I meant, if you have to count on someone, who are you going to count on..def or off? Defense showed up, but they had been picking on bonner all day

Those were the worst referees I swear to goodness. Bad calls on both sides of the ball! But thank goodness it turned out in our favor! I can breathe again. Boy that was awful, but the most entertaining game to me since Miami or Michigan.

Now to listen to the post-game show and watch Tennessee hopefully get their butts kicked.

Thanks!!! Have you always had a stream up? I've been abroad for the past 4 years and I've had a hell of a time trying to catch VT games. In the event of an 8pm start I can usually bribe a bar tender to open up early to let me see the game. The stream worked really well --- and considering we don't have many games in prime time this year it would be useful to have!
