Man it’s fun to be 2-0. Proud of the Jackets!!!

[@cleroyster2610]

QB for Ga State was very good.

[@martysheppard64]

Fans were great - student section sounded amazing !!!

[@brandonew2863]

It was good to see Tech take care of business against a team they are supposed to beat. They have been much better as a double digit underdog than they have as a double digit favorite up until now. I think it was a good win and a big step forward.

[@FloodInsuranceGuru]

Those refs were awful

[@benwhealler4278]

SEC refs…go figure

[@gibwest4968]

I guess Ga. State never held and was as clean as newborn baby. That right guard was not holding he was just helping the Tech man to the ground. Yep the refs were very sub par

[@WolfpackJCH]

GSU had white gloves to GT's white jerseys. Kansas City did this last year in the super bowl. But that doesnt make up for 5 holding calls that were called from the other side of the field.

[@richardlellip.e.m.b.a.7969]

Not as awful as Tech's DL that couldn't pressure a Water Balloon -- ZERO Sacks.

[@billmurphy9921]

SEC refs were more than happy to influence a game against an ACC team. Ga St coach also has SEC ties. Go figure.

[@AltamaLFG]

Go Jackets

[@flemingtonmartinsvet]

Wonderful to watch good leadership coach good players!

[@benwhealler4278]

A little concerning we couldn’t get to the QB, but overall, good win for a potential trap game. Can’t complain too much. Also, those refs were AWFUL.

[@Ggg-nv5ly]

Many missed holding calls. Many

[@ryanhyde2529]

Tucci did seem to scheme up a lot for the game. Was pretty vanilla play calling. Feel like they were trying to keep film away from cuse.

[@brents.8972]

Definitely some OBVIOUS officiating adversity in the game, but instead of getting down and losing their pose, Tech would come roght back the next play and eother get the first down they already prior to a BS penalty, or get TD to make a statement! Resilience is "Key" to a football team, bc not everything is gonna go your way even as a home team. Yes 3/4 of those hokding calls were BS, but you have to rise above it and answer it with poise and discipline. CKs Jackets have, so far, learned that. Great win, a lit to clean up, but ill take 2-0 over 0-2 anyday lol GO JACKETS!!! THWG!!!

[@atlantisource]

Does Tech have any sack to stand up for this team and this QB? King is out there taking headshots every week.

[@jmonopoly6822]

Tech is position to win the ACC. Miami looks like their only competitor right now. Time will tell.

[@gooser__43]

Nice

[@armulaitaylor2531]

That was a shaky win but a win none the less . Plz dont tell me we gonna play up to our competition

[@richardlellip.e.m.b.a.7969]

I'll go on record -- Tech's DL couldn't get a Sack against Buford High School -- ain't had 1 so far.

Sloppy game but nice to win one of those handedly.

[@baddgcarma]

Team came in unprepared. Game wasn't as dominant as the score shows. Clean up the mess before Syracuse

[@Ggg-nv5ly]

What was unprepared?

[@Trex101yt]

​@@Ggg-nv5lymissed tackles, assignments, and unable to get to the quarterback.

[@popecapital]

First off, happy that my Jackets are off to a 2-0 start. That being said, after taking 2 steps forward after FSU win, I felt that this was 1 step backward. First time my assessment has differed this much from Coach Key's. Defense was flat and gave up a ton of yards with the help of missed tackles and effort that appeared to be lacking from some. Offensive line didn't look near as dominant as they did against FSU. All of this and the injury bug is starting to become a factor. Cooley and Chad are likely out and Jamal is banged up at RB. Way too many penalties on offense! Thankful for the win but outside of a dominant victory (which this wasn't), this was a trap game that did more harm than good.

[@Ggg-nv5ly]

What was the step backwards?

[@popecapital]

@@Ggg-nv5lyplaying down to competition. We won't win any ACC games playing like that.

[@richardlellip.e.m.b.a.7969]

ZERO Sacks -- Tech's DL couldn't pressure a Water Balloon -- sloppy effort that should be grateful opponent dropped 2 easy TD passes -- Other than a sloppy win, Key has nothing to be proud about.

[@billmurphy9921]

Yes. And ZERO TDs allowed from first and goal. Your point?
