Georgia Tech Concerns
Georgia Tech Concerns
Last year I was concerned about this seasons Georgia Tech game because Clemson has not played well in recent trips to Bobby Dodd Stadium. Then in January we found out Tech was coming to Clemson for the second consecutive year and I became less concerned.

They've beaten Syracuse, Virginia, and Pitt. Why

is that supposed to concern me again? All a sudden GT is supposed to have this vastly improved defense b/c they've given up 35 points in the last 3 games against those teams.
I posted this the other day but those teams are ranked 89th, 109th, and 81st, respectively, in scoring offense. The 25 pts UVA scored on GT was actually one of their best offense days this entire season.
Before those 3 wins GT gave up 38pts and 433yds to BYU and 45pts and 551yds to Miami. They did that despite having the ball for 36 minutes in each of those games. They gave up a staggering 10.4 yards per play to Miami.
So has their defense really improved or has the competition just been bad offensively?
Our defense is vastly improved this season, our D-line is actually disruptive, GT's offense is less explosive than a season ago, and the game is in Clemson. I can't claim that I'm not worried at all, but compared to past seasons against GT you have to like our chances.

yeah if we show up and bring it no problem. Now if we play like against FSU we will struggle and it will be nip and tuck.

Gonna need the DL to really step it up this game

The DL were playing like madmen early in the year, but since the FSU debacle, the DL has been noticeably quiet. I want to see big Grady Jarret blowing things up in the middle and taking out the FB on every play. Gonna need Crawford and Beasley hitting the QB on every play. Make them pay for running the option. Hit them often and hard.

Two keys to the game in my view
Nov 12, 2013, 10:30 AM

#1 - stop the dive/midline
#2 - hit the QB (hard) EVERY SINGLE PLAY
We've done OK with #1 in the past but we fail miserably on #2 when GT has success. I don't get it, simple to execute and it impacts the QB's decision making/timing. Remember, cut blocks are designed for quick hit runs. If we make the QB think for a fraction of a second longer, he makes mistakes and/or the other players can side step the cut blocks. If we don't execute #2, it could be a long night.
And I hate the Bees!!!! Would love to curb-stomp them.

if he is carrying out a run fake hit him and take him to the ground. he loses protection by rule as a passer and you can knock him down. plus you should. it hampers him as the game goes on and makes him more aware of your presence c

You're underestimating our defense.***
