Harrell is getting WAY too much time

but if everyone’s covered, it’s not a bad thing, he can’t run.

Let’s actually sack the little baby.

Lucky there

Tech is draining lots of clock, but part of it is because of our own defense

by goingforthecorner on Nov 1, 2008 7:30 PM CDT reply actions  

This is the same ref crew as RRS

And apparently still don’t know what a hold is

Seriously

There needs to be some complaints on no-call holds…

This is the start Tech needed

Credit to our defense so far, but it’s our defense that’s gassed now.

Exactly

Offense needs to step up now. Keep them on the sidelines resting up.

ok so we held them out of the endzone

for 2 straight drives. pretty good if you ask me

gotta put Harrell down in those sitchies

love the pressure the d-line is getting, harrell is running for his life. he is not suppose to be able to throw on the run, but the damn receivers are so wide open. thank god it was only a field goal.

Tech is playing strong, at least emotionally strong.

That’s it more than anything with the Texas line.

Why GD why

Tech runs aren’t helping them, and we can’t run it either DESPITE the passing game working well.

the fact shipley can get five yards beyond the dbs on third and long. points will be there if we execute

Catch a break finally. GREAT punt, terrible decision by Tech

Two nice plays by

M. Williams; this punt coverage and the opening KO. He was added to KO team this week (this the No. change for Tucker)

What is important here is to play tactically sound football.

They’re hot; this will wear off, but you must minimalize your losses, make them earn it.

nothing new there

Disciplina Praesidium Civitatis.

by zamm on Nov 1, 2008 7:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

Defense....almost

D-line is getting pretty decent pressure. They may need to a take a couple sidesteps but otherwise lots of pressure. Need the secondary to play a little tighter.
