Couch Coach vs. Miami

Here are a few gifs i decided to breakdown to give an idea of what happened on field vs. Miami. These are used to give others a different perspective on how to watch football. I don’t do this to disparage players or coaches, but to give insight to GT enthusiast on what I’ve learned as a player and avid football fan.

This game was about playing a full 60min and the defense being able to bounce back from adversity this week. The most noticeable adjustment this week on defense was something myself & @Kelly Quinlan i mentioned wk 1 was getting Moala out of the MLB position. This allowed him to flow freely without having OL in his face every play

giphy.gif


Read & react defense definition has definitely been modified in the minds of GT fans due to previous DCs, but here is a great job by Moala & Sims seeing it, believing what they see and reacting to it. This was a big confidence booster for the much maligned defense

The offense has been stuck in a rut a bit partially bc of how overly aggressive defenses been playing us. We utilize motion and counter action to create match ups vs. Da U man coverage


giphy.gif


Though i believe #12 Blaylock should’ve attempted to run a drag or spot route in the area of the guy in man coverage, this is a helluva play by Miami. That’s just a playmaker making a play

giphy.gif


The second biggest adjustment from the D was the communication. You could hear the safeties telling where they would be positioned to the rest of the defense. You could hear the safety scream “sky right” signaling he’s coming down in the box over the strong side usually to the TE. As a LB hearing that, i know i can take 2 steps over to the left line and align over the DE with that safety coming in the box like that. #7 Tatum is misaligned which forces the poor angle but being unblocked he should have a TFL here. Good job by Harvey coming up, breaking down, and making the tackle in space

giphy.gif


Again, i can’t remember the last time our defense has played on string like this. Great zone coverage by Moala. He has the curl/flat. He stays down the hash as his read, which is who is ever the eligible #2 receiver to his side which is the RB, checks and release to flat. The perfect job here is he didn’t immediately run to the flat until the ball was thrown bc that would open a window for a curl or in breaking route in the area he vacated. Now look at beautiful vice tackle by the LB& CB to get it to 3rd and medium

giphy.gif


Great job by #1 Brooks reading the QB eyes as the deep middle safety. Looked very Morgan Burnett-esque here. As @Russell Johnson alluded, this is the first game Brooks looked healthy and he played like it


giphy.gif


Clinic tape here. This is the funky coverage i talked about last week called 3 Cloud. the CBs are in flats and the nickel drops back and takes care of the deep 3rd. Look at how underneath guys are rerouting WR & passing routes off to the next zone guy. CPL has to make this pick. Good job by Lee squeezing the post and undercutting it bc there is no room behind him for WR to go

giphy.gif


Miami O telegraphed their plays all night with the RB alignment. I wish i could phone down to the sideline and the tell the guys that bc that would’ve saved us a TD. We got a mesh wheel play by Miami. It’s covered pretty well except for one person and that’s #7 Tatum. There is no ball fake, so there is no need to take that much of a read step. He should be in the middle of the field a yard 1st down line limiting the visibility of this throw

giphy.gif


I believe this is 2/3 wks our CBs have done a good job as Cov 2 CBs mid pointing flat and corner route and getting the INT

Not a great day King but he got it done he it counted. The rain played big role in some throws in the game


giphy.gif



giphy.gif


Twice it appears the ball is either slipping out of his hands on relatively easy throws. Fortunately we scored on both drives


giphy.gif


Now this is the toughness and want to Key preaches. I love watching Haynes run with the ball. Great job by #2 Leonard leading the way and taking out 2 guys

giphy.gif


Blown assignment by CPL. We are in 3 cloud again and he’s responsible for the middle deep 3rd. He doesn’t appear to get any depth or eyes on the routes which allows thd post to be open. If played correctly, this is another bad read and/or INT


Based on the number defensive clips, you guys can guess how well i thought of the defensive performance. If we play even somewhat like this, then we will have chance to win every game left on the schedule. Great penetration by #99 Douse forcing the RB lateral and good job the LB& CB finishing home

giphy.gif

Another great job by the DL occupying the OL squarely so that one of the LBs would be free (depending on the who the RB picks up). Great job the LBs timing this blitz and not tipping it as Moala gets thru unabated

FOOTBALL RECRUITING Heard from a few of the commits after the game..

Hiram OL Jameson Riggs: "HOLY COW. Way to play until the end, and bounce back coming off of last week."

Wakulla (Fla.) CB Nehemiah Chandler: "This performance hit right on the spot of what I was talking about last week. Way to never give up, and finish the game. Haynes King is THAT guy.

Warner Robins WR Isiah Canion: "That was crazyyyyyyyy. The group chat with the commits is blowing up. Everybody is just hype."

Parkview RB Trelain Maddox: "Dumb play calling by Miami, but hey a win is a win"

Prince Avenue Christian QB Aaron Philo: "I've still got adrenaline from the game and I didn't even play."

FOOTBALL Brent Key presser quotes and notes 10/10

ATLANTA- Georgia Tech football coach Brent Key spoke to the media on Tuesday as the Jackets enjoy a week to focus on themselves with a bye. Key explained his plan for the week and how new defensive coordinator Kevin Sherrer plans to continue to make tweaks to the Tech defense to imprint his philosophy after taking over for Andrew Thacker last week as the principal play caller on defense.

Key said the structure of how they do things on defense has been the biggest adjustment so far

“I just walked out of a staff meeting and the biggest thing we are doing is more organizational on that side. Just where everyone is on the field, the way he is calling it, we’ve got multiple signals and multiple different ways to get calls in and there are probably five or six different ways to get defensive calls in,” Key said. “The substitutions and when they are coming in because we have more personnel groupings on defense that we are using, just the management of all of those things. That is a big part of what today is for us as a defensive staff. Getting those things together.”

The changes on that side of the ball are beyond just the on-the-field product as Sherrer aims to do things his way with Key’s backing.

“How are we going to present the opponent each week, the information we are going to give to the kids? The information we are going to show in a unit presentation of the whole defense. What’s in the scouting reports, how are we doing corrections, each day how are we addressing corrections, practicing fundamentals, some of the group work things and so it is really more of an organizational thing right now that we are focusing on. Once we get those things really cleaned up today and tomorrow then we will go more into the schematic stuff,” Key said of the defensive adjustments.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key said that Miami had a good crowd and the atmosphere was pretty good and the rain cooled things off a little bit, it turned into a great night for the Jackets. He said he was happiest for the kids and the staff to be able to rebound and get the win on Saturday night. He said the discussion about not letting BG define them was big and now they have to put together a good week of work during the bye week. He said the most important practice of the year was today and the most important practice of the year will be tomorrow’s practice and that is the approach the team has to take.

He said to that end he asked the linemen in front of him in the team meeting what they ate last night and they gave all sorts of answers and he asked them if they are hungry now and they said they are starving and he said that is how they need to feel. You are always hungry to win, hungry to get better and hungry to play the right way with competitive discipline in the game and to compete for 60 minutes they way they did. They have to have the same hunger this week and attack the week the same way.

Thursday they will start to work on Boston College. He said his food analogy resonated with the players.

He said he also spoke to the team about the media narrative from the game being so much about Mario Cristobal and his mistakes more than the effort and plays that led them to winning the game. He said that the players on the field all made the choice to play until the final whistle and if they all didn’t play that last at 100% that wouldn’t have happened. Then they flip it around and go 74 yards in 26 seconds. “We had to wash a stigma off of us that we had as a football team and we went out and did that.”

Key said they were back practicing today and school is out both yesterday and today for fall break, but the team worked today and they did some good-on-good work and did a team lift and a 30-minute team run period. They watched film as well and were in shells for the practice. They did 20-25 at the end to work on fundamentals and techniques and basic football stuff. Some 7v7, 1v1s both pass and pass rush stuff. They worked on some specific situations and blitz pick ups from the first six games that were issues and they did some work vs scouts and a long special teams period. Tomorrow they will go 2 hours and 20 minutes in the same model and then Thursday they will work on BC. The team will break Friday and Saturday and then come back on Sunday to start BC week.

Key was asked about changes in coverages and he said that Sherrer put in some tweaks in coverages and played some different coverages in certain downs and distances compared to the past and in different parts of the field. It was more about what they felt like was best by down and distance in the game it was steered more toward GT than Tyler Van Dyke, but they ended up being good change ups that threw off Van Dyke apparently.

Key said their red zone play calls in the game were going to be based on a few things, but he wanted to be aggressive in the game going for it on 4th downs where approiate and when to kick FGs and when to go for it. He said how the GT defense plays will also dictate how aggressive he is in those situations.

Key said that recruiting is going well and they have to stay the course there. The majority of the staff will go out on Thursday to be in place for Friday and then everyone who is local will go out Friday including himself. He is planning to go to 3 HS games on Friday night. He said it is full speed ahead on recruiting.

Key said he was pleased with how the secondary tackled on Saturday and he said he wants his guys to be aggressive and take their shot to make the play and don't sit there and stutter and have your head down, if you don't make the tackle trust the other 10 guys to clean it up. They rallied to the ball better and had 5-6-7 guys come to rally around and make the tackle.

Key said the highs of Miami and the lows of BG are something he has to manage as the leader of the program and he has 120 players and 55-60 staff that feed off what he says and how he acts. They are waiting to see change when he walks in the door and he can't do that, he has to stay ni the middle and never be too high or too low. That is their process of building the program and you won't see him too overly excited about a win two or three days later and he won't be in the dumps after a loss two or three days later either. The game was 20 seconds away from a different outcome but that doesn't change who they are as a team or people. When you win people have less bad that they find in the game and more good and that is the world they live in. Everyone wants affirmation and to talk about the good things, but he wants to talk about the bad things and why they had to win on the last play of the game instead of winning by 14. That's the way he looks at it and there are good and bad things after every game and they need to address both.

On Jordan Williams, Key said he was running around today, but didn't do the contact stuff. He said that Jordan was pissed he wasn't on the trip to Miami and that he almost threw his TV through the window both good and bad during the game watching it at home. He is moving around better.

On Chase Lane, he is out there and it is giving it a go. He said with both Lane and Williams iti s a pain tolerance thing more than jeopardy of reinjury or anything like that.

Key said that he is very fortunate and he kisses his wife and daughter every morning before he leaves the house and he is usually home at 8 pm every night so he can put his daughter to bed at night. Those two mean the world to him and that is why he is working so hard for them. He said last night he got home at 7:30 pm because of the bye week instead of 8 pm and that was great. He will be out on Friday and then Saturday he is going to stay home and have pancakes with them and watch CFB games. That is how he will spend his bye week.

GT Golf: Georgia Tech Set to Host Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate



No. 3/12 Yellow Jackets return to action for third of five fall events



Tech Schedule and Results | Pairings and Leaderboard (Golfstat) | Golf Club of Georgia

THE FLATS – Looking for its first victory of the fall season and its third the history of its annual home event, Georgia Tech’s golf team returns to action this weekend, hosting the 17th Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate Invitational Friday through Sunday at the Golf Club of Georgia in Alpharetta.

Tech comes into its third fall event ranked No. 3 in the Bushnell/Golfweek Coaches Poll and No. 12 in the current Golfweek/Sagarin ratings after finishing third at the Olympia Fields/Fighting Illini Invitational and eighth at the Ben Hogan Collegiate Invitational in its first two events.

Six teams in the 14-team field played in last year’s NCAA Championship, with three (Tech, Pepperdine and Virginia) advancing to match play. Like last fall, all 10 Georgia Tech players are competing in two teams at the Golf Club of Georgia this weekend, with the primary team composed of the top five players, and a B team composed of the rest. The B team also will compete for a team score.

After guiding the Yellow Jackets to the program’s 19th Atlantic Coast Conference championship and a runner-up finish at the NCAA Championship, head coach Bruce Heppler has three starters back for his 29th season on The Flats, including seniors Bartley Forrester (Gainesville, Ga.) and Christo Lamprecht (George, South Africa) and sophomore Hiroshi Tai (Singapore), each of whom are ranked among the world’s top 100 amateur players. All three are in the Jackets’ “A” lineup this weekend as Tai looks to defend his individual title from 2022, and Lamprecht looks to build on a fall in which he has a victory and a runner-up finish.

The tournament will utilize a split-tee format each day, with competition beginning at 9 a.m. Friday and Saturday, 8:30 a.m. for the final round Sunday. Tech’s A team is paired with Tennessee and UCLA for Friday’s opening round, and with Clemson and Pepperdine for Saturday’s second round, beginning each round from the first tee at 9:55 a.m. Pairings for the Sunday’s final round will be set based on the leaderboard through the conclusion of 36 holes.

ROSTER OUTLOOK – Lamprecht, a first-team All-American in 2023, won The Amateur Championship and was low amateur at The Open Championship over the summer and has risen to No. 1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking following his victory at Olympia Fields. Forrester, an All-ACC performer in 2022 with two collegiate victories, is No. 41 in the WAGR, and Tai, who won two tournaments as a freshman, is No. 68.

Competition for spots in the lineup comes from five other returnees in seniors Adam Bratton (Newburgh, Ind.), Aidan Kramer (Oviedo, Fla.) and Andy Mao (Johns Creek, Ga.), as well as junior Benjamin Reuter (Naarden, The Netherlands) and sophomore Aidan Tran (Fresno, Calif.). They have combined to compete in 39 collegiate events in their careers, while Kramer and Mao both have summer amateur victories under the belts.

Heppler added a pair of freshmen to the mix in Kale Fontenot (Lafayette, La.) and Carson Kim (Yorba Linda, Calif.), both of whom ranked among the top 15 junior golfers in the class of 2023 and made the lineup for Tech’s fall opener at Olympia Fields.

TECH LINEUP – All three of Tech’s returning starters – Lamprecht, Forrester and Tai – are in the lineup for the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate along with Kramer and Tran.

Lamprecht set a 36-hole record score of 131 (-9) in winning the individual title at the Olympia Fields/Fighting Illini Invitational by a stroke, and narrowly missed a second title at the Ben Hogan Collegiate, losing medalist honors in a playoff. The 6-foot-8 senior also had three runner-up finishes and a third-place showing last year, and is challenging the Tech career stroke average mark at 70.16 over 104 collegiate stroke-play rounds.

Forrester, a fifth-year senior who won the 2022 Calusa Cup and the 2020 Puerto Rico Classic, has 105 stroke play rounds under his belt and a 71.77 stroke average for his career. Tai defending his 2022 title at the Golf Club of Georgia, one of two victories in a stellar freshman campaign in which he also was the ACC Championship runner-up.

Kramer is competing in his second event of the fall, 10th of his career, while Tran also is making his second start of the fall after competing in five events as a freshman.

Tech’s “B” team consists of seniors Bratton and Mao, sophomore Rackley, making his collegiate debut, and freshmen Fontenot and Kim.

TOURNAMENT INFORMATION – The Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate, formerly called the United States Collegiate Championship, is contested at the Yellow Jackets’ home club. The tournament will be played exclusively on the 7,092-yard, par 72 Lakeside Course, 18 holes each day Friday through Sunday. Competition begins at 9 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and at 8:30 a.m. Sunday. Admission is free all three days.

Twelve of the 14 teams competing at the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate played in NCAA regionals last spring, six advancing to the NCAA Championship, and three (Tech, Pepperdine, Virginia) reaching match play. Six teams are currently ranked among the top 25 in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings.

The Yellow Jackets finished runner-up last fall in this event, and have finished in the top five 12 times in 16 years.

Georgia Tech Player Interviews 10/11

Without a game this week, Wednesday's player media avail focused on players who made impact plays in the Miami game but were not featured in the postgame media session at Hard Rock Stadium. The group consisted of cornerback Ahmari Harvey, defensive end Kyle Kennard and receiver Malik Rutherford.

On his pick, Harvey said that they have been working really hard on film study and that play was something they saw on tape and they got one of his teammates with it earlier in the game with the same concept so he played it right in the game. He said Van Dyke tried to force the ball and he just made a play on it.

Harvey said the big key for the defense moving forward is consistency and playing more like the team in the WF or Miami games on that side of the ball. They need to have a good mentality week in and week out.

I asked him about his increased role and being in the rotation finally. He said it feels good because he worked really hard for this in the offseason and gained a couple of pounds, matured on and off the field and worked on his academics a lot. He worked on a lot of stuff off the field as well and it is paying off on the field now.

Harvey said the bye week is at the perfect time now in the middle of the season. Everyone has nicks and bruises and they needed the break.

I asked about the tackling improvement and he said that they've made it a major emphasis for the whole defense and after the first couple of games they really needed to improve and be very detailed with it.

Harvey said with Kevin Sherrer now in charge of the defense the changes are not that big difference for the players. The buy-in is there from the players and he really likes Andrew Thacker and Thacker helped bring him to GT.

Kyle Kennard said he has enjoyed all the reactions to his fumble recovery and getting in the refs face to try to convenience him. He said he was so focused on that he didn't notice that the ref was actually signaling it was GT's ball until they announced it. He said seeing some memes of his face in that moment has been very funny as well.

Kennard said the defense hasn't changed much as well, he said not to discredit either coach, but it is more of a change of seating. They are doing the same stuff and they have the same goals as a whole unit as a defense. It has not been a hard adjustment at all.

Kennard said they've been trying different combinations on the DL week to week and some of that is game planning against the type of offense they are playing that week and their OL and the different strengths and weaknesses of that line vs GT's DL. They've been trying to find the best fits each week.

Kennard said the D has been working hard on not being complacent and not thinking a win means anything more than a win. They didn't get any hardware from beating Miami so they need to focus on beating BC this week just like they beat Miami last week with consistent D.

Kennard said there have been more than one or two guys being vocal now on defense.

Kennard said he will spend his bye weekend with his son and working on his podcast.

Malik Rutherford said on his catch on the final drive he thought the DB was going to pick it off and then he missed the ball and he was focused on just catching it and he ended up bobbling it a little and then tried to get out of bounds, but he couldn't.

Rutherford said he has a lot of pride after a tough night against a very good Miami defense to make one of the two final big plays on the game winning drive. They were aggressive on D and as fast a D as they will see all year. He said going in he expected a gritty type game and he was just focused on making a play when had his number called.

Rutherford said it was great finally beating Miami after losing to them his first two times playing them.

Rutherford said there was a little trash talk between him and his friend Brashard Smith before the game, but afterward the Miami players were in such a state of shock over how the game ended they were very quiet.

Rutherford said that Haynes King did a great job of keeping them settled down on the final drive and he looked everyone in their eyes in the huddle and he looked in his eyes and knew he was going to make a clutch throw to win the game.

Rutherford said he made the touchdown signal when he saw Christian Leary's move on the Miami DBs and King getting ready to throw the ball even before he threw it knowing it was a touchdown.

Rutherford said the win really comes back to something Coach Key preaches to them every week. Play the full 60 minutes and they talked about it all week leading up to the game. The defense really grinded it out in that game and got the ball back and they could've easily given up in that moment on that final run by Miami. "We played hard for 60 minutes and things like that will eventually happen and I feel like it paid off."

FOOTBALL OT:Boston College According to Me.

What I see from my analysis
yes, they can beat us, but only if we underestimate them

Rushing averages
Yards produced
180.0
Yards allowed
162.0

slightly weak when it comes to running the ball
ok at stopping the run

passing averages
yards produced
204.20
Yards given up
210.7
very meh, not great

scoring defense not ever giving up less than 24 points which is weird, but that isn’t great
scoring offense they have put up more than 30 points once, just once, so not great despite having a really good qb, they aren’t really lighting it up. This suggests they don’t have the best supporting cast for their qb

other notes:
struggled to beat UVA which is looking like a 1-11 team

key to victor: take Thomas out of the picture or limit him and they will fold, not saying we will win but we can
