GT Game / Potential Semi-Live Blog

We have company this morning, so I don’t know when I will post updates, or how often. Clearly, this is the biggest game of Tom O’Brien’s tenure. A win here could catapault NC State into legitimate contention for the Atlantic Division crown, along with Top 25 honors. A loss, and it’s TOB’s fourth consecutive 0-1 ACC start – and the wheels could come off quickly.

You want analysis? Our own Alpha Wolf has you covered with far better analysis than you will find anywhere in the paid media; GAWolf has set you up with a little NC State-talk in this entry; and our message boards have at least a dozen threads from this week discussing different aspects of today’s game.

You want the opinions of a simpleton like me? I’ve seen Georgia Tech play twice, and NC State play three times. NC State looked like a good football team (not great, but good). Georgia Tech looked like hot garbage smells. If we play our game, I fully expect a win today.

    I’m confident in our D now, but I’m just afraid this is the high point for them and it’ll only get worse as they get tired. However GT hasn’t really gotten any really long drives yet, so if we can keep it up then maybe we’re ok.

    Questionable play calling last series. You’re running it down their throat, you want to limit Tech possessions yet still score, but you throw on 2nd & 4, then 3rd & 4. Unacceptable red zone offense.

    4 that kids sake we better win or he will be the ultimate goat. S#$% like this can totally change the momentum of a game…just can’t be measured the difference the misses make.

    And this is how you lose a game – dominate completely, but score 3 total points on 4 possessions inside the 40. We should be up 20+.

    Offense with 3 on the board in first half after excellent field position and some solid drives. Not good football. Asking too much of the D

    I just cant understand what they are thinking with our plays in the redzone……..this drive is killing our D and GT gets the ball back after half where we can kick it off and give them the ball at the 40

    And as predicted by packbackr04…

  9. jrummy 09/25/2010 at 12:55 PM #

    Cmon pack. We need a big drive here, ending in 7.

    The score by GT is what TOB deserves for not going for it when we have a better chance with the ball in Wilson’s hands then the kicker’s foot.

    don’t understand some of our play calling…particularly our last few possessions in their territory. gt is dropping back into coverage…run the damn ball!

    Where is the O-line??

  13. jrummy 09/25/2010 at 1:02 PM #

  14. ITBPACK08 09/25/2010 at 1:03 PM #

    hes in.

  15. heavy 09/25/2010 at 1:04 PM #

    I bet they don’t overturn it..

  16. Wufpacker 09/25/2010 at 1:04 PM #

    How can officials constantly get this call wrong. Thank God for replay is all I can say.

  17. beeeejay 09/25/2010 at 1:04 PM #

    got to be a TD

  18. chuckdachest 09/25/2010 at 1:04 PM #

    you gotta overturn that one!

  19. beeeejay 09/25/2010 at 1:04 PM #

    NCSU luck would dictate that the bs call stands

  20. heavy 09/25/2010 at 1:05 PM #

    If its a TD what are the odds of hitting the extra point?

  21. beeeejay 09/25/2010 at 1:05 PM #

    and thankfully the refs get it right

  22. heavy 09/25/2010 at 1:05 PM #

    And that’s why I don’t bet!!! Way to go pack!!!

  23. Whiteshoes67 09/25/2010 at 1:05 PM #

    Thank goodness….Now, if there is any doubt, Tom, don’t kick the ball…just go for 2!!!!

  24. chuckdachest 09/25/2010 at 1:05 PM #

    wow…TOB got excited???

  25. jrummy 09/25/2010 at 1:06 PM #
