Georgia Tech vs. SCSU Post Game Quick Thoughts

by Winfield Featherston on Sep 7, 2010 8:00 AM EDT in Georgia Tech Football

I'm sitting in my apartment watching our game on replay and the Navy vs. Marlyand game on the TV and it's interesting to see the two triple option attacks going on at the same time. The same, yet different and I sure would like to see a Georgia Tech vs. Navy out-of-conference matchup.

Labor Day Weekend delayed some things this week as Sunday was an extended day of recovery as well as out of towners were still stumbling around the place. Plus, my brain wasn't working properly, what you would have seen yesterday would have been complete drivel. Here are the quick thoughts:

Great crowd on hand for a 1pm game against a 1-AA opponent. The tailgating scene was impressive as well. This is what winning does for you, it gets people excited. Keep up the good work fans!
A lot of our big and successful runs came from outside with just OK production coming up the middle. The Bulldogs keyed in on Anthony Allen (6 carries 28 yards). For this game, it's fine since SCSU was the inferior opponent. But gotta make sure we can take care of business in all aspects come bigger competition.
Better offensive production comes from better offensive line play
Passing: Nesbitt goes 1/6 for 8 yards. Tevin 1/2.
Rushing: Joshua Nesbitt sure looks good as he runs the ball. Overall, 12 players ran with the ball. I like to see good distribution!
Defense: We still need work. SCSU ran the ball well up the middle against it and we gave up ground in front of us too easily.

We travel to these games a lot which is why you see bullet points and quick thoughts for the post game. What are your quick thoughts about Georgia Tech vs. South Carolina State?

my two cents

-) Really enjoyed seeing the large turn out

-) Really enjoyed seeing Tevin shake off the jitters and coordinate a nice second offensive drive. Not the same presence as #9, but delighted with the effort

-) REALLY enjoyed David Simms. Wish we had an additional 1:30 on the clock at the end to get him his first score.

-) CAN’T WAIT to see more of BJ Bosic!

I agree

First time I’ve felt confident in our backups since CPJ’s been here and probably since George Godsey…

Thoughts on the Defense

I liked some aspects of the defense – Linebackers looked quick, liked the secondary, and I think Isaiah is going to be a BEAST. But the DLine has to get better. All this change on D, but I see nothing stopping an opponent doing what UGA did to us last year – yet. Which we all know is doubly bad because it hurts our ability to control the clock. It will be interesting to see how this plays out because yes, SCSU is a I-AA team but their O-Line is HUGE. So its a little hard to guage how ineffective we were stopping the run compared to what we’ll face. Hopefully it only gets better. Love the depth though.

I wonder how much of any new stuff put in over the off-season (both offensively and defensively) was not brought out. No reason to show all your cards if you don’t have to.

Has the whole world gone CRAZY? Am I the only one who gives a sh*t about the rules?!

They definitely didn't show much

…especially on offense. It seemed like they only ran 4-5 different plays the whole game. On defense, Groh said that they had to do some stuff in the second half that they weren’t planning on doing. I assume there’s more, but they need to get good at their base stuff if they plan on being successful this season.
