First things first. The coaches need to remind the players talk and hype are cheap. Wins come on the field. Hopefully this loss will show these jackets they are’nt as good as hyped and Gailey is still the coach, eventhough there has been a lot of improvement in the last two years. This loss to me was due to overconfidence and a lack of a plan from the coaches on how Tech can beat a prolific passer and passing game (we’ve had problems with this for 6 years now). Second, we dropped min. 5 passes and probably could have caught 5 more. So it’s hard to move the chains when 10 passes are slipping through finger tips. Third, Dwyer may be the go to guy. He has speed and spark something that appeared to be lacking until he entered the game. Fourth, BC was huge along the lines and we seemed to could not get through them which brings up the question why was’nt this thought about during preparation week. These guys, BC are top 10 caliber.

BC size and quickness really overwhelmed Tech at every position. It is very difficult to out-coach this reality. Tech simply cannot recruit and sign these types of athletes on an on-going basis.

“BC size and quickness really overwhelmed Tech at every position. It is very difficult to out-coach this reality. Tech simply cannot recruit and sign these types of athletes on an on-going basis.”

Funny how we only hear this pathetic garbage AFTER Georgia Tech loses. I don’t remember anyone saying before the game “gosh, its going to be tough keeping up with those BC athletes. We just can’t recruit players like that.” Why is that? Why is it we don’t hear these sorts of things BEFORE the games Tech fans? Because Georgia Tech fans are excuse making cry babies that’s why. Boston College doesn’t exactly light up the recruiting trail either genious. Georgia Tech has probably had better recruiting classes than they’ve had recently. But don’t let facts get in the way of your little pity party. Sorry to interrupt. Keep crying and making excuses. My lord.

Same old story, pitiful play-calling and nothing from the secondary in the way of tackling or coverage. If Tenuta’s blitz doesn’t work, Tech can’t seem to stop anyone on defense.

For the life of me, I can’t figure out why it is so hard to find ways to use Grant. split him out wide and throw him the ball. We have all these weapons but still have offensive coaches that lack the imagination/common sense to use them in the same backfield.

Actually, BC’s recruiting classes have been slightly better than ours (with the exception of last years) over the last four years.

That’s no excuse for losing though. Tech just didn’t play well and BC played better than they played in the first two games. They continuously picked on the receiver matched up with Pat Clark and for some reason Tenuta didn’t pick up on that and that’s probably where half of Matt Ryan’s pass yards came from. That’s not including the two pass interferences that Clark caused. Horrible DB, I hope Jahi’s back next week.

OK, so we’re 2-1. We need to run the table in the ACC to make it to the ACC title game. This week against UVA is the start…beat Virginia and we’re 3-1, nationally ranked again, and in the mix. Lose to UVA and it’s a lost season. I’m disappointed in all the fans who flipped straight from “this is our year!” to “we stink!” after 1 tough loss. Boston College is better than Tech…they stuffed the run & T Bennett couldn’t make them pay. Deal with it, and start looking to the Cavaliers.

Sorry you are disappointed in the switch from “this is our year” to “we stink” - but the truth hurts. It looked at first like we had some depth, we had some confidence, we had some good play-calling, and we had a chance at a good season.

BUT - reality calls - this team will be LUCKY to reach 6-5. They stink in every facet of the game except punter, and BC proved that Saturday night.

I am sick and tired of the same Gailey mediocrity year after year and I am sick of the clueless administration that accepts it. If they just want to play around then we should move down a division and be content.

Mike “But this is the ACC”…thanks for the glowing endorsement!

Ryan could and probably is the best QB in the country. He’ll be playing on Sundays and if the Falcons had a brain, they are paying attention.

USC, Louisville, and Hawaii have great QB’s, but I don’t think they can read defenses like Ryan and pick up the blitzes like him. Perhaps you didn’t notice, maybe you were watching a SEC game or something, But every one of his passes were damn near perfect. The guy was sensational.

Why don’t you give credit where it’s due instead of taking cheap shots at the ACC. Lucky???? Give me a break, if that’s you’re idea of luck, STAY OUT OF VEGAS!

Virginia is a MUST WIN to prove to everyone—including ourselves—that we’re back in the saddle. We need to make the Cadavers our whipping boy.

Everyone needs to lay off our coordinators. We DID make adjustments—we got beat up front, with their lines bigger than ours, and what a coordinator can do against the laws of physics is limited. We did the right thing—tried to play our game—and then changed it when it didn’t work.

However, I saw some hope as the game went on as we gave up the blitz and the run—neither of which were working against their lines. Also, the run got more effective as the game progressed, BC got tired, and we quit depending on Choice after he went out. If we had had a fifth quarter we probably could have closed it up. A possible redux in Jax will likely have a different outcome—not necessarily a W, but a closer game, on the scoreboard and on the field.

I said last week or so, BC was the toughest game on our sked, with Clempsun second. After that, every other game is easily winnable, including VT and UGA. I am impressed with neither the Hoagies or the Rabies Babies. Auburn With A Lake will likely give us fits if we play like we did against BC. Clempsun-BC will be the marquee game in the ACC-A.

Speaking of the ‘Barn (aka the Astro-Nerds), I predict an Auburn victory over UGA—just because. Because it’s the SEC where everyone beats each other up and no one gets their props from the national media. Bama-UGA will also be interesting for the same reason.

What’s everyone’s take—besides LSU and Florida (go ahead and book your hotel rooms in the ATL), is the SEC up or down this year?

Jabster, It’s still early but after three weeks I’d have to say the SEC is definitely up this year. Not counting cupcakes the SEC is 11-3 out of conference. LSU and UF are the teams to beat but Kentucky looks good and teams like USC, UGA, Bama and Arkansas can compete on any given Saturday. Auburn looks bad, but will find their offense sooner or later. Big Ten and ACC look way down this year. Although Duke did beat Northwestern so I guess that gives ACC the edge…

Very disappointed with the O-line performance on Saturday. BC looks like a very solid team with probably the best QB Tech will face all year.

Buck-

I’ll agree with your assessment. To round it out, Tennessee is definitely down, Vandy is holding, UKY is way up (and was last year, but nobody noticed).

UGA is too soon to tell (like Tech), ditto with USC and probably Bama. UGA/UK/USC could be a train wreck for second place in the SECE. When Tennessee falls, they fall hard and will probably come up on the back end of that wreck.

Auburn is way down, Ole Miss is down (not that they had far to go). Not sure what to make of Missy State.

ACC is down farther over last year-UNC, Miami, NCSU aren’t ready for prime time. I thought UVA would be in that group but it’s too early to tell—they could be a spoiler and Tech needs to watch out. VT is down, Wake is down, neither by too much but enough to keep them from running away with it. Tech is too early to tell (two blowout wins against really bad teams and one butt-kicking loss against a really good team). FSU keeps going down.

BC is way up. Clemson is up. Maryland is holding. Maryland could have a say in who goes to Jax in the ACC-A.

Duke is Duke.

Knobler…. All we (Tech fans) need is another idiot ajc writer down on GA Tech and on the ACC. You guys have already driven most of us away from buying the ajc and now you want to drive the rest of us away from ajc.com????

Of course teams and conferences go through ‘ups’ and ‘downs.’ Is that any reason to write such a mean spirited article?

You cannot rate any team or any conference for real until the end of the season. What would say about the ACC if all ACC teams defeat the remaining non-conference opponents (to include GA Tech beating UGAY)? Would you then say that the ACC is a ‘great’ conference? Are you really that fickle?

The ACC QBs have yet to really prove themselves this year. It has only been 3 games. Even BCs Ryan could go from ‘great’ to ‘poor’ by the end of the season. One never knows.

Justme…you’re right, but Ryan is the real deal.

I’ve watched college football for a long time, and that was one of the best performances by a QB I’ve seen in a long time, maybe ever.

It seemed like every pass was delivered in-stride and right in their hands, even when we we’re able to get pressure.

I don’t see anybody beating BC on their schedule. Ryan deserves to be a Heismen Candidate.

As a BC fan, I think that Tech will turn it around quickly and have an excellent season. BC just happened to play a well executed game and won the battle against the jackets.

Knobler, thanks for the attempt to insult our team and league on the GT blog. Everyone is infatuated with the passing yardage, but keep this in mind:

1) BC scored only 24 points and were unable to run the ball - after scoring 37 and 38 in their previous two games. This when the defense was on the field for virtually the entire game.

2) Ryan is getting respect for EVERYONE who watched the game because he made some ridiculous passes to guys that were completely covered for big plays. He had to really earn a good chunk of those yards and points.

3) GT lost for 2 reasons - they couldn’t run the football consistently and they couldn’t get consistent pressure on Ryan. There’s really nothing else to analyze.

Knobler, here’s my question to you: How many teams can pass as accurately as Ryan AND defend vs. the GT blitz like BC did? Can’t think of a single time when Tech has “struggled” against a drop back passer since 2002 - once every 5 years ain’t bad…..and it isn’t cause for concern.

Boston College and Clemson are the 2 best teams in the ACC by far, but they both can’t get to the ACC Championship. Either one of those teams will flatten G-Tech or V-Tech, which look like the best teams in the Coastal.

ArkyTech, how is it insulting your team to point out that after Ryan the quarterbacking in the ACC is inexperienced and/or mediocre?

That “defense was on the field all night” excuse is pretty silly when you consider Ryan threw for 233 yards in the first 20 minutes.

And here’s my answer to your question about dropback passers humiliating Tech: Emerald Bowl. How could you forget it? The guy who caught all those passes (Travis LaTendresse) couldn’t even make it in the NFL. The QB was a fill-in.

JustMe and Ramble ON!, I wasn’t being mean-spirited, just pointing out that as bad as Saturday was, Tech is fortunate that it’s a down year for ACC quarterbacks. And, no, I don’t agree with JustMe that Matt Ryan might be considered “poor” at the end of this season. He is the real thing. As far as giving credit where it’s due, Ramble ON!, I wrote Saturday night that Ryan is the ACC’s dark-horse Heisman candidate. I give him a lot of credit; I just don’t give a lot of credit to the ACC’s other quarterbacks.

By JamieDAWG

Knobler…Yes, the ACC is terrible. Matt Ryan is their best QB. I think you could probably give some credit to Clemson’s QB…his name slips me but I believe he’s from Alpharetta. He’s looked balls on accurate thus far and might end up being a good QB. If they can throw against some better D’s, they will be dangerous with those two backs they have. Outside them and BC, there isn’t much. VT or Maryland? Both of them looks very, very, average at best.

I think we all know that the bugs dont match up well with teams that have as much or more speed as they have. That usually comes out every year when they play UGA, Clemson, FSU, or someone of that calibre. I think the bugs could be dangerous with a guy like Jim Grobe, but we all know that’ll never happen.

This is one of the strangest football seasons or is it just me? Tech at least loss to someone that makes sense. BC was just better that we were, if they had been from down south I think we would have known more about them and this would not have been such a surprise. They beat Wake and NC State so who knew what that meant. We kind of fell under the same spell beating some has been Irish team and a 1AA team. Auburn losing to Mississippi State troubles me more because I thought I had MSU pegged as the same old same old. Clemson should beat Tech, looking at last year and this year. It will rain one day in Boston, but that division is even weaker than our division so who will pick up the pieces besides Boston College, who knows they may also have a running game just didn’t need to use it against us. If BC has any running game at all they are top 10. That Alabama/Georgia game should be a good one that will make or break what is left of Georgia’s season

Is it me or do most of the posts on this blog seem to be written by 12 year olds?

Anybody who didn’t know going in that BC was going to be a tough opponent just wasn’t paying attention.

Their QB was better than advertised and he picked apart the most suspect unit on our team: the secondary. The ONLY hope we had in this game was that our D-line and linebackers would be able to pressure Ryan and contain him. In the first half he had time for coffee and a smoke before he had to get rid of the ball. In the 2nd half, Tenuta made some adjustments that helped, but I disagree with the comment above that we might have come back in a fifth quarter.

Their run defense was also as good as advertised, but I think we all felt like our O-line and talented running backs would perform better and they just flat didn’t get it done.

Yes, coaching and schemes all play a part in a team’s success, but the bottom line is still about blocking and tackling. BC manhandled us on both sides of the ball and you just can’t win when your lineman are getting whipped.

While I’m not sure we’ll see another team with as many seniors as BC has the rest of the season, BC has sure given teams a roadmap to follow in beating us.

UVA, UNC, Duke and Army are still games that we should be able to win even if the team isn’t in top form.

Maryland and Miami are both games we should win, but those teams will not be pushovers.

Clemson, Va Tech, and Georgia are winnable, but we’ll lose all three if the effort doesn’t improve significantly from what I saw Saturday night.

I only have one comment, “Did you see UCF play Florida?” We have a less talented coach than they have. His team never quit to the very end. They also came within one turnover of beating Texas. Folks GT wasn’t playing Texas, and two other teams BC played passed for over 300 yards against them. You say why did GT, and answer is the coaches game plans didn’t even consider the possibility. They were starting three of four defensive backs as back ups. Geez, do you have to coach 20 years to figure out how to attack BC. BC easily figured that Tech had no replacement for Word-Daniels and continued for the whole game to exploit that one position to win the game. Difference a quality head coach versus one that can’t cut it.

Let’s give credit to Jagodzinski and his staff at BC - they were prepared for Tech and they are great in-game coaches, too. Even on the very dubious pass interference call on Guyton, Ryan recognized he had a linebacker on a slot receiver and it looked like he checked off to that on a streak pattern. That’s good coaching. On the other hand … Tech’s offense had the very same situation, but stuck with the original play call, a stretch play with Choice to the weakside with Dwyer, the backup tailback, as lead blocker. I do not prescribe to the prevailing notion of Tenuta as a defensive genius. Even when it appeared that BC had Tech’s blitz packages figured out early on, Tech never adjusted. In other words, BC sat on the fastball and Tech never came up with another defensive pitch. Let’s not forget, when Tech beat Auburn at Auburn and had the big sack night against Brandon Cox, he still threw for 350 yards. And we’ve seen now that Cox is quite overrated. Tech’s not lucky - the ACC is, because a team with that much talent that once again had a chance to make a statement against a ranked opponent on national TV once again stepped on the rake lying the grass and got whacked in the face.

Was I the only one that noticed BC was really picking on Pat “Ralph Friedgen could burn me deep” Clark? He must have had a dozen or more passes thrown his way.

When he wasn’t totally out of position (which was most of the time…), he was getting called for interference or getting juked out of his shoes. There HAS to be another option at corner. Play Mario Butler, switch Jamal Lewis back to corner and start Morgan Burnett at safety, or let Burnett play corner.

SOMEONE other than Pat Clark has to step up and play that side or we’re going to get picked apart on that side every single game.

I don’t think that Boston College is any better than Tech. I was at the game and here is what I saw. First, very conservative playing calling, including not throwing the ball down the field. The other big thing I saw was a terrible coverage by clark. They need to put him on special teams, and do something else. He just can’t do it. Every time he is in the game the qb’s love it. The Samford game was suppose to be a game to get the passing game in sync, and it was not done. That was bad coaching.

JACKETFAN2, BC is a top 10 team and you will see them there in coming weeks. Ryan is the real deal and like many have said he will play on Sunday (Monday and Thurday nights). Outside of LSU and UF, BC can play with any team in the SEC, Alabama, USC, Kentucky, and Arkansas (They would torch Georgia. Stafford couldn’t hold a candle to Ryan who could end up in the top tier for the Heisman this year.). If we do manage to run the table in the Coastal and meet them in J’ville, we have to have a better plan for containing Ryan. They are good but not unbeatable.

After that game, I am not sure how anyone could say that BC is not better than Tech.

The score would have been much worse had BC decided to run the score up instead of kneeling on the ball inside the Tech ten yard line at the end of the game.

Be happy the game wasn’t more of a blowout and hope that Bennett’s comments about BC getting “lucky” don’t come back to bite him and the rest of the yellow jacket team.
