GT means business this year. Key is building the program the right way. The staff knows how to attract talent and develop the players, plus the players get a great degree for life!🐝
Brent Key is cooking something in Atlanta. They're sitting at a top 20 class for recruiting right now. He's a former Tech O Lineman. He's building from the lines of scrimmage out. Our team is TOUGH. If the wins keep coming, Key might be up to something
Not true, their DC kept them in a light box with 2 high safeties as if he was afraid of GT throwing the ball. I guess no one told him all they do is run. He put them in a bad position all game. Outnumbered at the point of attack.
This was a great recap. Wasn’t overly focused on, or dismissive of, either school. As a GT fan looking for serious national attention on the team, I appreciate yall *taking the time* and not just *filling time*.
I am a die hard FSU fan. I will say this there was nothing flukey these guys just beat us. The refs let them play (I think only 4 penalties total) and the PI they called against gt I am not even sure was catchable but it was hard to tell if the defender actually moved him out of his route enough. They executed their game plan perfectly. My prediction was it would be a tight game at half and we would pull away. It’s hard to do when touch the ball one time in the final 21 minutes. Which again that was Gt playing their game. I love you guys and the way you cover the game even if I disagree with your opinions last year. I wish people would stop talking about the snub both fsu fans and the media. That was last year. This is this year. I’m excited for the season and we can all agree it’s exciting CFB is back!!
The way Tech played at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball in that game was a night and day diffence from last season. FSU has been talked about as having an offensive and defensive line that are among the best in the country. Georgia Tech controlled the line of scrimmage the whole way after the opening drive. The gameplan was brilliant. That was pointed out. But, you can't execute that gameplan unless you can run the ball and stop the run. Brent Key said day one when he was named head coach that he would build a tough, physical football team. He has. Well done.
Pete Thamel is actually an incredibly articulate and impressive writer. As a writer myself, I couldn't agree more about not losing the value and importance of the written word.
As an Irishman it was a pleasure to be able to cover the game and it was such an amazing day. Props to Georgia Tech for an incredible performance all round. I was really by impressed Haynes King and FSU found it really hard to deal with him on the ground. His legs was able to get them out of a lot of bad situations.
Don't know if you guys ever see these comments. But if you do ... Rece, thanks for the shout out of Pete's article. That intro paragraph is the hook that just reels in the reader. I tried to find a way to comment on via the ESPN app, but couldn't. Pete, fantastic write up. I. have enjoyed so much that you write and know I'm getting unbiased, accurate (sports)journalism. Thanks
That was a good hard fought game that came down to a last second fg. GT has a stout team. They did the same thing last year on offense. Over 200 yds rushing a game. Difference is now they have a defense. FSU played good. GT played better
The transfer portal has really leveled the playing field. There's a lot of talent that can be matched, and it's a quicker fix than recruiting and developing high school players.
It goes the other way, though. FSU's problem was only using the portal. They will have to get another QB transfer for next year if they want to be contenders. It's an unending cycle: recruit.
I agree with Jim above. The portal is absolutely not any sort of guarantee; FSU had a lot of success with it last year, but it doesn't seem that same success will exist in 2024. Often times, the reason they're leaving that other program is because they're not good enough to get play time there.
Imma disagree with the two below (only slightly). Georgia Tech had only four returning starters on defense. That's it. Everyone else left for the portal. It's important to remember that the transfer portal isn't just what helped GT but it's been recruiting. GT has an actual qb, that makes recruits listen.
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my daughter's surgery (Joey). Glory to God.shalom.
Rede, very well said about Pete being a truly gifted writer. All too often we are in such a rush to consume any content that we miss the opportunity to enjoy how words can be used to create imagery and paint a picture that is so vivid that you can see it and feel it.
Give GT credit - they played very well against FSU. Sadly FSU was all hyped up in the off season. I don't care about the hype - let's see what happens on the field on gameday.
It doesn't take 30 mins to explain this. The first offensive play for GT, the offensive line blew the FSU defensive line ten yards off the line down the field. I knew it was going to be a long game for FSU
I thought Mike Norvell would’ve strongly insisted to have :01 put back on the clock. But looked like he threw up the deuces and was ready to get out of there.
I thought it was great seeing tech pull the upset. Hard earned W. I do think people are reaching using it as confirmation of why fla state was left out of the playoff though. This game has nothing to do with last season, regardless of what opinions of the noles may be. It's more about tech being up to the task.
FSU had little continuity going into this season and mostly transfers coming into a program that has a shifting identity. Jordan Travis was home grown talent. He was recruited by Taggart. This coaching staff pulls from the portal well but what about building and developing talent? Has yet to be seen
GT hasn't had a decent defense for the last ten years. I was surprised how different they looked. Trying to bring up what happened in the past isn't relevant when the defense is so much better.
@@joegaetamaybe more, I’m 30 and from just north of ATL, and I don’t remember them ever being very strong on defense in my lifetime. Maybe I’m missing some random stand alone season, but I don’t remember a single season that they looked as good as they did in that game.
Right!! 1st and ten on a penalty with 1:03 left before halftime 3 time- outs and Mike Norvell let's all the time tick off the clock and not get his troops settled...SMFH😤
Exactly, and Brent Key's clock management at the end of the game was textbook. As much as I knew we were about to lose this game I give Key props with how well he managed the clock, it was brilliant! 🫡
Last year FSU Showed everyone how too recruit in the NIL era and now that everyone is using the portal we couldnt get the studs we got last year. They got spread out due too more teams prioritizing the portal.
In a QBs 5th year with almost 50 games played, a coach should not have to try to grow his confidence. You cant dumb it down anymore for a QB. Hes a 2 star QB with 5 star attributes
I knew Tech would win this game after the way they played Georgia last season!!! They gave Beck trouble and kept it close most the game! I knew they’d get better they could win the ACC this year!!! Go Dawgs!!!!!
I’m a GT alum. I thought DJ played a good game. Whoever called the FSU offense plays did not allow DJ to do much. They should let DJ throw the ball down field a bit more.
he can't throw it down the field. That is the whole problem. FSU is now a one dimensional team with a QB that cannot handle pressure, can't throw a deep ball, has lead feet, and no D line. Their coaches know DJ's ability better than you. There is a reason they didn't let him air it out.
If you watched him at Clemson and Oregon State then you know he sucks when he has time to make decisions. He has a tendency to either hold onto the ball too long or try forcing it between multiple defenders.
The caption stays “stuns” not at all was that the case. Tech stood toe to toe. That OC that came frm UGA knew what was on the table in the 4th qtr. FSU played well…4th down conversions. Two above average squads…not elite but very good! Can game plan, can adjust
That’s cap ward came back to Miami because he was going to be a high draft pick in the NFL remember he turn down FSU and Miami at 1st to go pro but didn’t have a high draft grade so him settled for Miami because FSU already pulled the trigger on Dju
How are these experts anaylsts and journalists gonna act like this hasnt been the obvious identity for Georgia Tech. As a #10 ranked team if you cant expose matchups and your talent agains ttheir talent you dont belong on the Ranked polls
There’s no excuse for DJU. There’s no reason he should still be looking this uncomfortable in so many situations. Probably the most overrated QB’s ever
Tf is this guy talking about? “Everything set up for tech” FSU hit 2 50+ yard FGs and converted multiple 4th downs. This wasn’t a fluke win. Tech is the better team. Thamel sounds like he’s making excuses for FSU
FSU deserved that loss to GA Tech. They came in way too cocky and self entitled. They thought they was owed something, after being snubbed from playing in the College Football Playoff last year. Only to immediately validate the committee decision from last to this year by losing to GA Tech. Now that loss is going to hauntingly impact them, especially if GA Tech season goes into the toilet the rest of the way.
As a Clemson fan I have a spoiler alert for you. There is a reason Coach Norvell didn't turn DJ loose. He SUCKS. He cannot hit a barn when he throws deep. He gets lead shoes and eyes down receivers and throws it 15 yards in front or behind them. That is how the season is going to play out. He will never win a game for that program. He might manage okay enough that other players can play well, but he is terrible. FSU will go 8-4 mark my words
GT wins this matchup 9 out of ten times. Florida state has better players but they are over matched in the coaching department. Mike Novell is grossly overrated
THIS FSU HOMER ALWAYS PIC FSU. NORVELL HAD 1 GOOD SEASON IN 5 YEARS WITH EVERYONE COMING BACK. WILL BE EXPOSED AS A FRAUD WITH AVERAGE TALENT AVERAGE QB BELOW AVERAGE COACHING STAFF. OL DL LB SLOW AND SOFT. PATHETIC
FSU was way over hyped. Travis is gone guys, and 9 other starters went to the nfl. Hello!!! Smdh. These experts are hacks, they make the local weatherman look like a genius. Easiest money in the world. Joke of a “job”. I have no respect for these “experts”. Anyone who does is a dupe.

NOT HATING.. just being honest.. Fla St looked mediocre at best. Flashes of great running game.. that was is. So it's going to be a come down to earth year for them. GT was the same.. mediocre vs mediocre.

GTech had so much life on offense. DJ has yet to take that leap in college.
He's not capable... Hate it for him but he just isn't the talent that everyone thought.
He has been in college for four years. There is no next step. This is exactly who he has been from the start. Nothing more nothing less.

How did they overcome it? Mike Norvell and his play calling, thats how.
I didn’t watch the whole game but this sure looked like it played a big part.

there are usually way too many people on the sidelines at college football games, needs to be cleaned up.
