FB: Duke 14, Georgia Tech 24

They are back to getting the ball to their quick, shifty guys in space. We are too slow to react and are not tackling well. First quarter all over again.
 
They have definitely been the better team, at least in 3 quarters. But with a few breaks, and a few less calls in Tech’s favor at critical times, we would still be in this.
 
Disclaimer ... my ire over the game is undoubtedly colored by being repeatedly drummed into my head that "President Trump is for you".
 
Huge disagreement here. We've gotten royally screwed on two calls, the phantom offensive PI and the phantom helmet tap. If a helmet tap is illegal, this sport is just not worth watching at all.
A tap is illegal. You can disagree with the rule, but not the refs for calling it.
 
Ballgame. They've been the better team. So it goes.

The QB play has been the biggest difference, but they also completely outschemed us tonight.
They did play better, and I think today were coached better. Our D, which is usually pretty stout, seemed to be out of position much of the time. And they were on the field a lot.

Our, O, sigh, what to say. Our O line is stout., but we MUST create more variety in our offense, and go for higher percentage gains for first downs. I don't know that Murphy can change. He can't move, and shoots rocket passes, sometimes on the mark, but often in tight traffic. We were not able to give Star Thomas enough touches, but also touches in which he had room to maneuver. We had a perfect record coming into this game, but our opponents will become tougher.

I love so much about this team. They have grit. But IMHO opinion, they need better play calling on the O side.
