Citadel beat Georgia Tech

Recommended Posts

They are an FBS team last I checked and just beat South Florida. You should never schedule a triple option team. Nearly impossible to prepare for.

For the game, the Citadel (Rainey) completed 1 pass (4 attempts) and threw 1 interception. They won on the ground with multiple backs and with a consistent kicker. GT might be in cellar of fbs, but would be a top team in fcs, so it's a good win.

Again, GT is not in the cellar of FBS. They are not good but they are not UConn, Rutgers or Vanderbilt. They got drilled by Clemson (so what) and beat USF by four. DO NOT SCHEDULE A TRIPLE OPTION TEAM. I don't care if you're Michigan playing Army or Towson playing The Citadel. 

Though I guess since Georgia Tech used to be an option team, they figured they could handle another one when Paul Johnson was the head coach. It's going to take Geoff Collins a few years to get his personnel.

FBS doesn't mean they're good. Using that logic, UConn, GA State, Kansas, and others are "good" teams. The win doesn't hurt us but don't expect THAT much from it...

They have 85 scholarships and millions more in their budget. They’ve been to 20 bowl games in 22 years. To compare them to a program like Kansas is a joke. I never said beating The Citadel by 7 on the road meant we’ve arrived. I just thought that people on this board who thought our defense was still bad because we gave up 300+ yards on the ground underestimated how tough that offense is to stop.

There is a difference between a terrible program and one that is average. Maybe you feel that .500 is terrible. I don’t. Kansas and UConn would love to be .500 and go to multiple bowl games.
