I haven't looked it up but probably have the toughest remaining schedule in CUSA.

Dr.G and the ADM need to be proactive and aggressive with pay and their needs to ensure the retention of Skip and the staff he wants. Period! We are at the threshold of something Big guys!
Does anyone have the stat or know where to find it of how many times Skip has gone for it on 4th down this year compared to prior years he has at Tech? He just seems much more aggressive this year than others.

2019: 6/11 on 4th down this year (1.22 attempts/game)
2018: 11/20 (1.54)
2017: 9/16 (1.23)
2016: 6/10 (0.71)
2015: 8/11 (0.85)
2014: 8/12 (0.86)
2013: 5/16 (1.33)
I think it went up the last few years with a need to go for it on 4th down with games on the line. But I think the feeling that we are doing it more this year is he’s pushing early. Its not because we HAVE to go on 4th where its the obvious play.
Percentage-wise, we usually rank in top 1/2 of FBS

I wonder how many of those attempts were Jumbo Package.
I noticed over the last few weeks that Holtz has gone back to the "Straight T" formation in short yardage situations. He did that a lot back in 2014 & 2015. And it worked. I think with Justin Henderson's rise, Holtz felt like he could run out of the straight t again. It's very hard to stop.
