Would you ever think we would only score 16 after Pitt hung 42 on them in a game that Tech needed desperately to win.


Tech didn't give a shite about Pitt, or NC State, or the ACC. Brent Key didn't give a shite. The players and fans didn't give a shite. They want to beat Georgia.

I think Frazier + Bowens would have made it more than a 1 score game, too.

Seems like it was a typical let’s take a 1pt win and get out of here, which is maddening

This is retardation level cope. Sorry to put it that way, but I can't think of another way to describe it. You're telling me they didn't give a shite about a playoff spot and intentionally sandbagged that?

It felt like we were playing Kentucky today.

Georgia played a crap game and Tech pulled out all the things they'd kept in their back pocket since last January. This was predictable, just like last year's tech game was predictable, and an extra player or two wouldn't have changed much. We disregard them out of necessity. They focus like a laser on UGA. Being a tech man means Brent Key will do that every season.

Agree, but even with the play calling we used, I think a Bowens and Frazier tandem gets us some more points on the board, whether it be +3 or +7. McCray is serviceable but limited.

I'm mildly shocked that Bo Walker didn't get any carries.

This is retardation level of unawareness. You claim to be a Georgia fan and you don't understand Georgia Tech. I've studied them for decades and I understand them. Key knows he has a weak team. He couldn't win the ACC with that team and he had no chance of beating Georgia unless he disregarded Pitt. He needed to win both to make the playoffs, and even then he couldn't win a playoff game. So, he made a choice, just like last year. Commit every resource to beat Georgia is always the choice for Georgia Tech.

"Cope" (nice trendy term for you youngsters) is for people who are wrong. I predicted what would happen last year, said Tech was holding Haynes King out intentionally to prepare for Georgia. Last two weeks, when some on this board predicted Tech would quit, I said this was their season and they would not quit because this was always the goal. I don't need to cope because, unlike you, I saw it coming.

Puckered a-hole by Kirby is the most logical explanation

Either Gunner is hurt or Tech was doing something to freak him out. Kirby didn’t trust him after the INT.

That sounds like a bigger problem to me if that’s the case

I still think having two 5+ ypc backs carrying the brunt of the duties rather than a 5+ and a 2+ would’ve made a difference. Maybe it’s just me.

They definitely milked this game. They just wanted a win and get out of this game without injuries. It was as vanilla as I have seen in a while. When they started running McCray early I knew that is what they were going to do.

No he didn't. He needed to beat Pitt and either UVA or SMU to guarantee himself a playoff spot.

Maybe my statement was amibiguous. They needed to win both Pitt and then ACC. I said;

Playoffs weren't gonna happen unless they neglected their UGA obsession, and even then not likely. Even if they got lucky, beat Pitt, lost to Georgia and won the ACC, the playoff game would've been a disaster. So Key focused on Georgia.

Georgia tech grads always brag about the rigor of their calculus requirement. This is is the football calculus that Brent Key understands; Beat UGA. You'll never hear the phrase "bigger fish to fry" cross his lips.
