Around SBN: Despite Relocation Drama, Coyotes Overcome Adversity

GT losing its second conference game...

...doesn't indicate a win or loss in its third game of the ACC slate. GT is 8-8-1 in their third conference tilt following a loss in the second game of the ACC season. In seasons where GT won the first ACC game and lost the second, GT is 3-4-1. In both of Paul Johnson's previous seasons, GT won the first ACC game, lost the second ACC game, and won the third conference game. Check out the odd parallels:

2008 - Defeated BC by 3 points, Lost to VT, blew out Duke
2009 - Defeated Clemson by 3 points, Lost to Miami, blew out UNC
2010 - Defeated UNC by 6 points, Lost to NC State, Wake Forest???

I'm not predicting a big win against Wake but based on two previous seasons, we may be expecting Hell raining down on Winston-Salem come Saturday.

…was the score of the UNC game this year. So slight difference year-to-year but it makes me more optimistic going into the game this weekend.

Dear God,

Please let this come true.

Unfortunately

Wake Forrest just got blown out by FSU. Look for them to have a chip on their shoulders also. This season’s GT team will play better as the year goes on. Many of the problems this season have been mental. However, we’re really seeing the transition now between the Gailey players and the Johnson players. Frankly, these new players are not as talented.

Ehhhh

He really doesn’t have a lot of his players on the field yet. If we have problems next year, I’d be pushing the panic button. We all thought he was immune to rebuilding because it seems like, for the most part, we’ve always beaten expectations since he’s been here. I can’t think of alot of teams that could lose four really good players at one time and not feel it the next season, no matter who is waiting in the wings. The “replacements” have to get up to speed. I’m not saying that what you say might not turn out to be true, just that I don’t think we can say that just yet.

2006 recruiting class

was the base of last year’s ACC Title. That was the best GT class in a looooong time.
