Stats are for losers

I expected Tech to slowly lose potency leading up to the the Clemson game, but I was hoping that they’d be able to pull out big wins at UVA and Miami.  However, if you take a quick glance at the two charts below, you can get an idea of the statistical decline since the Kansas […]

Florida State 2011 predictions

Last year I predicted FSU would finish in the 11-3 range, and I was close. The big miss was Oklahoma, as I really thought they were ready. They were not. This year is different though. After a few great recruiting classes, the Noles seem poised to step back into the national spotlight. I said this about the […]

It’s that time again – college football week 1 is upon us. As I tried last year, I try to predict every game. Last year … let’s just say I was a bit off. I predicted a 10-2 record, going to the Gator or CFA bowl. Whoops. The good The defense looks to be much improved […]

Rdio v. Spotify – Round One

As you may or may not know, Spo­tify launched this week in the US, and I of course jumped on board. I’m going to give Rdio and Spo­tify a fair shake before I decide which to use full time (I reviewed Rdio a while back, and have been an avid user since the ser­vice launched), but the early lead […]

Quick thoughts on GT v. Kansas

What a debacle.  GT got embarrassed on a weekend where they really could have set themselves apart as the ONE good ACC team.  Almost everyone else lost, and obviously Tech did the same in a very disappointing effort in all phases of the game.  I’m going to quickly hit a few things that jumped out at me while watching the game: […]

Quick thoughts on GT v. SC State game

I already posted my thoughts on the offensive effort so I’ll add a few bullet points about the entire game. Offense Great reads by all 3 QBs that played.  Nesbitt made the cleanest reads and was one step ahead on every run.  Everyone’s already talked about throwing the ball and I was honestly a bit surprised they […]

2010 FSU Football Forecast

So, if you’ve followed FSU football or college football, the fortunes of the Noles kind of went like this:  The 70s were a building decade, the 80s saw the Noles come into their own as a national power, and the 90s were a decade dominated by FSU.  By 2000, the team began to lose it’s […]

2010 GT Football Forecast

Holy cow, the first games are tonight.  I’ll post my FSU prediction tomorrow, but here’s my 2010 GT forecast.  Let me know what you think. 9/4/10 South Carolina State (Win) First game of the year – I think the offense will roll, and we’ll see backups soon after halftime on offense.  The defense will be tested […]

3-4 defense, demystified

The 3-4 defensive mission statement: The 3-4 defense is all about confusion.  Using strong linemen to occupy the offensive line at the point of attack, athletic linebackers are able to attack from various angles to pressure the quarterback or stuff the run. The 4-3 usually relies on the down linemen to penetrate.  This penetration by […]
