FINALLY!!

All the talk is pointless now. Let’s just play!

I am not a huge college football fan but I would love for Tech to win big today

and finish the season undefeated.

Enjoy the game…don’t get too nutted up…though I’m a FREAKING NERVOUS WRECK!

Just got a text from my boss at the game. Blackout is in FULL effect and he said it looks great.

I'm away from the computer

so keep it going. If no one opens a new thread , I’ll do it at halftime. I’m half drunk.

Go Raiders . . .

harrell’s fault. could have a) thrown it, he had enough time, or b) rolled to the left.

by kayakyakr on Nov 1, 2008 7:20 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

O-Line

Needs to give Harrell more time. Even .5 second will help tremendously. 2 back set please

by techfan5730 on Nov 1, 2008 7:20 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i’m not worried about that, though, because TTU tends to come out 50/50 on first drives.

I’ve started to prefer to see us go on defense first.

by kayakyakr on Nov 1, 2008 7:21 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

at least he didn’t force a turnover

They didn’t get pressure with 4. They had to bring more

Never would have guess that our first score would be a safety.

Britton should have had that one

harrell not looking sharp in the face of pressure. doing a lot of throwing off his back foot.

by kayakyakr on Nov 1, 2008 7:31 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Harrell looking a bit off

he HAS to be accurate on the move in this game

by Tech92 on Nov 1, 2008 7:31 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

only looks off when he’s got a hair of pressure up the middle. the rest of it is golden. I think that he was throwing that last one away which is a shame since crab’s corner fell down.

by kayakyakr on Nov 1, 2008 7:32 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

we can’t waist drives

by Plano Jeff on Nov 1, 2008 7:31 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Okay. Let’s have that line settle in. Lots and lots of pressure, and Harrell is not good with this type of front. We need to figure it out. Notice that the splits are about gone?

by Tech92 on Nov 1, 2008 7:32 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

we have not seen this kind of pass rush

by Plano Jeff on Nov 1, 2008 7:32 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

5-0 and only one play by UT offense in first 8 minutes; just like it was drawn up

by jeffinhouston on Nov 1, 2008 7:32 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

YEAH

Way to go Williams. WE still CANNOT drop passes in the end zone if we are going to win…

by techfan5730 on Nov 1, 2008 7:32 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

they are having to blitz to get most of their pressure up the middle. Just need to burn them a few times on blitzes and that’ll stop.

I was worried about our ability to put the ball in the endzone in the red zone.

by kayakyakr on Nov 1, 2008 7:33 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Agree – but their secondary is nothing special

by jeffinhouston on Nov 1, 2008 7:34 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Britton should have had that.

by Tech92 on Nov 1, 2008 7:33 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Tech D

must step up and penetrate the backfield like they did on the safety. Make McCoy uncomfortable and doubt his line.

splits are gone because UT is shooting the middle. That will stop if we can start completing those outs.
