Tony Franklin called a stellar game tonight. Had the d guessing on every single play. Great job! Offense played great with the exception of one unnamed wide receiver. Kick that guy off the team.

Yes TF did a great job tonight and the D was outstanding!

Except the call to throw into the endzone on 3rd down late in the 4th. I'm ok with running the ball and kicking the field goal. A fg there probably wins the game bc Miss St's offense wasn't doing anything at that point. It would've deflated the crowd and the team. That was a horrible playcall/decision by Franklin/Isham. He had a receiver open dragging accross the middle on that play too.
Ikhauro's drop hurt but we should've been up by 3 at that point.
After all the abuse they took last week (2nd half and after the game), the D really stepped it up this week. That shows some pride and character. We play like that the rest of the year, we are going to be in great shape!
He should have run the ball on 3rd dowb, kick the FG, go home with a W.
I don't think the third down call was bad at all. Ms State had the right defense on and Isham made an ill advised throw. The idea was to go for the juggular, and if you miss, you kick the field goal. It just didn't work out :/
I'm betting that interception in the 4th is more on Isham than on Franklin. All the other routes were right at the sticks.
I think we lost this one based on special teams, and 1 frehsman QB mistake too many.
But I tell you what, I'll take ISHAM with mistakes any day of the week, and twice on sundays, compared to what we've had the last 3 years.
I wouldn't trade QBs that's for sure. Isham is the man!
As good of a game he called... Tony Franklin lost the game on the interception in FG range at the end. DUMB, DUMB, DUMB. Run the ball up the middle, kick the field goal, win the game, get on the bus, go home and celebrate a victory. But noooo... 3 isn't good enough for us!
I have no problem with the call to take a shot for the endzone on 3rd down in 4th quarter. Isham should have saw he had no play and just threw it away, but he is a freshman in a huge game and tried to force the play. The kid is going to try to win the game. Hard to hold that against him.
T-won -Agree!!!! I was screaming at the TV as the ball left his hand.
I agree...the young kid made some rookie mistakes...He is going to be a great one at Tech...has good poise and is learning every week. I just wish we would throw it deep more. He puts th eball where it needs to be...need to find the match up 1on 1 and he will make the throw. I also wish we would roll him out more.
