re: 4-star RB Jahmyr Gibbs
Posted by GlennW on 1/11/20 at 12:27 pm
The only “family” he’s had any real contact with since he was a small boy has been his Grandmother, who he lived with until he started High School, and then he began living with a couple of families of High School Team Mates. Facebook postings by people claiming to be relatives other than his Grandmother should be looked at very skeptically. Also, the people who went with him to Texas to the All America Bowl were the family he’s staying with (which includes his best friend who is also going to GA Tech as a Preferred Walk On).

Most of you seem to assume Gibbs has already decided to de-commit from GA Tech, however he has an excellent relationship with the Coaching Staff there, in particular the Coach who is his Recruiting Coordinator, Tashard Choice. Also, his best friend on his High School Team just announced he’s going to join him at GA Tech as a Preferred Walk-On:

He may very well de-commit, but trust me, it’s by no means a “done deal”.

re: Kicker Joseph Bulovas decommits from Georgia Tech

He visited Mississippi State then took his Official to GA Tech and told GA Tech he was solid with the Jackets. The next thing that happened was a couple of days later, he got a call from Alabama, with an invite, and Bulovas de-commited from GA Tech. You don't have to be an Engineer to be able to put these numbers together to add things up and see where things are heading in this case.

We exploited North Carolina, ran for over 300 against them and passed for almost 100. We turned the ball over at key times. We had injuries to our starting QB and brought in our backup, as well as to a couple of our O-Linemen, throwing our timing off. Also muffed a punt.
Game was close into the fourth quarter until another turnover hit.
VA Tech, early game, again, some turn overs, a lot of penalties (several because refs weren't familiar with the new blocking schemes and called a lot of "chop blocks" and had to be "educated" so less were called during the year). GA Tech led until the last minute or so. VA Tech got some help on their final drive on a questionable penalty against GA Tech that gave VA Tech an extra set of downs. GA Tech still nearly pulled it out. Josh Nesbitt (GA Tech's QB) just missed a second long TD pass to win the game.
Against Virginia, once again, turnovers killed GA Tech. We fumbled inside the VA 20 (twice I believe) and threw an interception inside their 45 within the final 2 minutes of the game.
If GA Tech can hold onto the ball, they have a chance to win.
The other big problem has been with injuries. GA Tech pretty much lost their entire first team offensive line, including the preseason All American, Garner, to injuries. They lost all of their starting LB's, again, ending up playing with reserves, and, finally, they ended up losing all but one starting DB (Morgan Burnett), so they ended the year playing 2 freshmen and 2 sophomores as DB's in the end, causing GA Tech some problems when teams passed against us at the end of the year (i.e. Florida State and UGA).
Considering all of GA Tech's injuries, Paul Johnson did an amazing job keeping the team together with all of the string and chewing gum)...

Against Gardner-Webb, GA Tech had lost both of their starting QB's and most of their starting offensive line.
Both QB's that ended up playing were scout QB's that run the pro-style offenses for our defense to play against so the entire offensive schemes were totally out of whack. We had pro-style QB's trying to run a triple option offense along with new offensive linemen who weren't really sure who they were supposed to block, or how they were supposed to block them...it was almost like the Keystone Cops.

Well, Paul Johnson has only installed about 30% of his offense. The run 'n shoot hasn't even been put in yet because of all of the injuries to the offensive line. The QB just hasn't had enough time to be able to set up for those plays yet.
I expect that once Tech is able to get some linemen back and Coach Johnson has a chance to expand his playbook, we'll see a bit more passing. When he was offensive coordinator at Hawaii and ran this offense, not only did they run for over 250 yds/game they also passed for over 250 yds/game.
I think it will be really fun to watch as he begins to add in the new plays.

Interesting post. That stuff is pretty impressive, except the thing about ya'll passing too. Ya'll are one dimensional

The difference in new and brand new is a pro-style (like everybody else) and the triple option (like nobody else).
If it was a new offense, it would be like some nuances being installed, like some bubble screens, or some new draw plays, but all out of the same formations. In this case, the entire offensive schemes were changed, so the "brand" was also changed from pro-style to the triple option.
(how's that for being fast on my feet) :cool:

Well, you know, with Patrick Nix calling all of the Offensive plays for us, you should have known you'd have lost. That man is an offensive genius. It's a real shame that Chan Gailey played not to lose instead of to win; he really handcuffed Nix.

I'm still shocked you beat us in 2005, but the 2003 game was no surprise. At the start of that season we wouldn't have had the offense to beat anybody.

Auburn fans didn't like GA Tech too much when we beat them the last two (count them two) times we played them, and were rather "vocal" about it on our boards... :bwahaha:

Then they lost all but one of their starting DB's (Safety Morgan Burnett). We ended up with two true freshmen and two true sophomores back there at the end of the year...really hurt against some of the better passing teams.
We also lost most of our linebacking corps. The only stable spot was our defensive line, and the last 2 games we lost one of our studs Vance Walker (preseason AA).
Paul Johnson held them together with chewing gum and a string towards the end of the year.

I would also say that GA Tech has gone through their entire offensive line this year. Lost all of their starters due to injuries, including their stud preseason All American candidate Andrew Gardner.
It was bad enough all of them had to learn brand new techniques, but then we had players with little to no experience on the field, even some walk ons towards the end of the year.

When Tech has managed to hold onto the ball, they've done well. When they haven't, it's been fatal (VA Tech, VA, and North Carolina).
re: Interesting things that LSU may not know about GA Tech

North Carolina was a head scratcher. Tech actually rushed for 326 yards against NC (plus they had nearly 100 yards passing) but had several costly turnovers at the worst times.
They also had several key injuries which led to penalties, etc.
The game was much closer than the score as Carolina got a couple of late ones in the 4th when we had key injuries and the turnovers.

To clarify point 22...Tech's first game was against Jax State where Ryan Perriloux was the starting QB.

This isn't intended to be a chest thumper about GA Tech to the Tiger fans...Just some info I thought ya'll might find interesting.
I think there are already plenty of prediction threads.
