    Tech's National Stat Rankings

    We are 'middle of the pack' in nearly every category this year through 8 games. Net punting is the only category in which we are ranked worse than #94 nationally. A few areas we're excelling at nationally are:

    Red zone defense #32 nationally
    Team passing efficiency defense #43
    Turnover margin #33
    Fewest penalties/game #12
    Fewest penalty yards/game #5
    Punt returns #43

    We could be a pretty good team at the end of the season if our offense continues to perform as they did at Rice.

    Total defense 83
    Rushing D. 85
    Passing D. 71
    Pts allowed. 27
    3rd down D 93
    4th down 85
    Red Zone. 32

    Red zone defense has certainly been the bright spot. We are below avg in all other categories
    Better than last year for sure but not good enough to win games with our very inconsistent offense. With just a little more offense we finish with a winning record w/o Im afraid we will need a lot of luck

    . We are playing Bend but don't break-- give up yardage and time of possession but holding teams to field goals. Young team on defense maturing pretty fast-- can't worry about what they will be like next year - just get better every game this year-

    You mentioned a key ingredient that I strongly agree with you on that I know leads to some of our losses, Time of possession. The bend but don't break lends it's self to slowly wearing down what defense we have, bend but don't break still allows too many third down conversions. Once the field compresses into the red zone, we get some stops, but that still allows field goals. That defense that we are playing in the red zone should be played more between the 20's.

    We've been screaming for years that "if we just had a mediocre defense" we would be lights out -

    Well we have a mediocre defense and an offense that can't punch it's own way out of a paper bag - defense is NOT the problem this year it's our ineffective offense

    We seem to be mediocre in all aspects of the game this year. Looks like we have a few playmakers on all sides (offense, defense and special teams), but not enough to develop an identity.

    Our identity seems to be that we will find a way to blow it in the fourth quarter and no lead is safe until the game is over.

    Hopefully that all changes this Saturday.

    Of course I am just a fan and really don't know squat about running a football team.

    Just keep the O moving at a fast pace like we did against Rice.

    It was quicker, but a fast pace is more that 71 plays. To win this week, we best be in the 80+ range.
