In terms of national title caliber, yeah we sucked. In general, no. When I saw LSU dominate Oregon early this season, I knew we likely weren't at that level. It's all relative.

Its amazing how you see these threads after a loss when we talked about them back in the spring as a weakness.

I don't think we were overrated at the time. If the team plays as well as it can we're still a top 5 team even w/ our kicking game shot.

Overall Tech's defense was rated 82nd and something like 110th against the run. And we couldn't/didn't run worth a dang against them. Lousy game all way round. Defense couldn't seem to make stops. Offense couldn't get going, which put more pressure on the D. Especially first half and early third quarter. I mean, we did win the second half, 31-17. Unfortunately it was 7-24 at halftime, we missed two field goals and the field goal we made should have been a touchdown drive. We were flat, banged up, major substitutions at each of the three levels of defense, Landry was major league off and at key points when he had the ball where it needed to be, we couldn't catch it. Even our all - world All American recordsetting receiver got stripped of the ball. And Tech had to be ticked off at being a 29 point dog, and our attitude that we just NEVER get beaten at home. I partially blame Vegas for some of this, personally, in all seriousness. Point spreads do nothing but damage to the game, in my opinion.
Heh.
