I'm incredibly surprised by GT's offense. If we can handle the ball security issues (yeah, I realize that's a big "if") we might be looking at GT's best offense in Paul Johnson's whole tenure here. TaQuon Marshall is every bit as good as Justin Thomas and might be even better at running the ball himself. I was convinced we'd have a huge dropoff at QB this year, but nope, TaQuon is loving aces. KirVonte Benson's a beast too, I thought we were hosed at B-Back after Mills got kicked off the team, but nope, Benson stepped up and is doing an amazing job gashing teams up the middle.

I'm less bullish on the defense than most GT fans after that game. Yeah, they only gave up 10 points, and we got in their backfield a ton, but I think that's mostly due to Pitt's awful, predictable playcalling and terrible o-line. I will say our tackling looked tighter in that game than usual. Way fewer missed tackles than I'm used to seeing from GT.

Gatech put the ball on the ground five times and still dominated Pitt yesterday.

Bees are real good y'all.

Ever since Pitt joined the ACC, we've never had a dull game against them. First we had Pitt turning it over 5 times in the first quarter, then we had two games lost on last-minute field goals, and then this.

Just throwing it out there: Why isn't Duke ranked?

I dunno. They probably deserve it more than Florida or LSU.

Who does Tennessee even go after if they fire Butch?

Whatever Jeff Brohm's buyout is, Tennessee can probably pay it.

It's from some mascots vs pee wee players event.

So...tonight? And also going head-to-head with the NFL? Sounds like a clusterfuck to me.

Ah yes, Charlie Daniels, the guy who made a fun song about getting in a bar fight with rednecks who thought he was a hippie and then 15 years later made a new version of the song about getting in a fight at a gay bar because they were flirting with him

Other than SA, the only internet college football communities I find remotely tolerable are r/cfb and SBNation. My go-to source for GT news is SBNation's GT affiliate.
