...N!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:08:02

Tech won the toss and wanted the ball first. D needs a 3 and out for early field position!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:08:37

3rd and 5 coming up!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:09:24

Incomplete! Sheridan Jones in coverage. D gets a 3 and out!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:10:28

There's that good punter I wrote about in my preview. Tigers take over at their 31.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:11:55

Good grief Ladson drops a TD on the first play! He had separation down field, and the ball hit him right in the hands! Second straight game he's dropped a long TD that hit him in the hands.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:12:56

Trav runs for 6 yards. 3rd and 4 coming.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:13:25

Long pass complete to Powell for a 1st down at the Tech 36!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:13:48

Trev runs for 5 yards on 1st down.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:15:20

3rd and 3 coming from the Tech 30.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:16:58

Ugh Travis runs for the 1st down and has the ball stripped out! That's what they do. Like I wrote in my preview, Tech had 6 fumbles already coming into the game, among the most in the nation. Tech football, should be 7-0 Tigers.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:18:19

Ugh! Murphy stripped the ball out on 1st down, but Tech recovered. 2nd and 18 though.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:18:41

Big 3rd and 16 coming up!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:19:46

MIKE JONES TFL! Great job by the D, forcing another 3 and out after the fumble!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:25:28

Tigers take over at the Tech 41.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:26:05

Trev throws a frozen rope to the sideline to EJ Williams for a 1st down at the Tech 25.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:27:00

Slant to Amari down to the Tech 5!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:27:56

TREVOR TO POWELL TD!!! Great response after the drop and fumble on the opening drive! 1st TD of season for Powell, 11th TD pass for Trev.

TIGERS LEAD 7-0 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:38:58

Tech converts its first 1st down of the game. Ball at the Tech 40.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:40:02

Good grief, busted coverage by the Tigers' secondary for a 60-yard TD to Camp!

TIED 7-7 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:43:02

83-YARD TD PASS TO AMARI!!! On 1st play of possession! Busted coverages all over the place early! 2nd TD pass of game for Trev, 12th of season.

TIGERS LEAD 14-7 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:48:34

Sims drops a low snap and Henry recovers! Tigers' ball in the red zone! Need to pour it on em now.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:49:58

Ugh LB blitzes unblocked and sacks Trev. Makes it 3rd and 18.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:51:21

Trev runs to the 13. Potter out for a 30-yard attempt. We'll see if he can get it off this time!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:51:58

IT'S GOOD!

TIGERS LEAD 17-7 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 11:55:01

D forces their 3rd 3 and out of the quarter! Other than that busted coverage, Tech has done nothing offensively.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:13:13

Tigers take over at their 18.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:14:45

Dixon runs for 5 yards.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:15:48

Another drop by Ladson. Ball was away from his body, but his hands aren't great right now!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:17:12

Complete to Powell for a 3rd down conversion! He and Rodgers have been great so far.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:20:04

Good grief interception on 1st down! Don't know what Trevor was thinking, throwing off his back foot as he was being hit. He was 13 passes away from breaking Russell Wilson's ACC record! Had 367 passes without a pick, 12 shy of Wilson's record. It's been 2 days shy of a year since his last INT! I'm sure he's glad everyone will stop talking about that streak now though. 2 turnovers in the 1st quarter for the Tigers.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:22:18

Skalski makes a nice tackle on 3rd down, but Tech will go for it on 4th and one from the Tigers' 40.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:23:13

STUFFED!!! Baylon Spector and the D-Line stone the run for a loss, and the Tigers take over on downs! What a quarter by the defense, outside of the one busted coverage. Xavier Thomas was in on that play, by the way!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:28:07

Travis runs for 4 yards. It will be 2nd and 6 to start the 2nd quarter.

TIGERS LEAD 17-7 AFTER ONE.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:28:47

Trav runs for 3 more. 3rd and 3 coming.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:29:03

1st down completion to Amari!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:29:27

ETN runs for 2 yards on 1st down. Just waiting for him to break one!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:30:11

1st down completion to EJ! 2nd 1st down catch of the game for the true freshman!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:32:26

DAVIS ALLEN TD!!! Down the seam for 35 yards! 2nd straight game with a TD for Allen, 4th TD by the tight ends in the last 2 games. Not surprisingly, Trevor bounces right back from his first INT in a year! His 13th TD of season and 3rd of the game.

TIGERS LEAD 24-7 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:35:27

Whew! Jones was beat on a go route, but Sims overthrew it. Brings up 3rd and 8. Tigers have outgained Tech 285 to 74!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:37:27

Good grief Tigers should have had a sack, but Sims eludes 2 tacklers, and Baylon is called for targeting after putting a big hit on him short of the 1st down. At least it's still the 1st half, so he won't miss any of the next game! Looked like just a good form tackle to me.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:39:37

Targeting reversed! Definitely the right call. Baylon has had a heck of a season so far! 3 and out again for the D, Tech to punt.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:41:14

3rd and 3 coming after a couple runs by Trav.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:42:55

Big gain by Trav on a screen pass! 1st down at midfield. Trav was huge on 3rd down screens last week.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:43:18

3rd and one after a swing pass to Dixon.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:44:11

Dixon runs 5 yards for the 1st down.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:45:44

Complete to Amari in the middle of the field! He leaps a defender and goes out at the one yard line! Give Trav an easy TD here.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:47:16

Just like I predicted in my preview, Tigers bring in the jumbo package with Bresee behind Pinckney in the I formation! Am I good or what? Lol Tech calls a timeout.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:49:40

TD PINCKNEY!!! As I predicted in my preview, the Tigers bring out the jumbo package for the first time this season, and it's a success!

TIGERS LEAD 31-7 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:54:07

3rd and 10 coming for Tech.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:55:01

SACK TYLER DAVIS!!! Yet another 3 and out for the D!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:56:38

Powell with another 1st down catch!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:57:32

Holy cow Ngata makes his 1st catch since the opener and then fumbles! 3rd turnover of the half by the Tigers!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 12:58:31

Looks like his elbow was down before the ball came out. Ruling on the field is fumble.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:00:00

WHEW! Fumble is overturned. 2nd and 3 for Tigers.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:00:17

ETN runs for a 1st down.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:01:51

Complete to Chalk for about 15 yards and another 1st down to the Tech 23! Haven't seen Galloway so far.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:04:19

Shovel pass to Brannon Spector for 1st and goal at the Tech 8!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:06:00

TD LADSON!!! Trevor rolls left and fires a rope, just like the pass I referenced in my preview from his freshman year in Atlanta! 4th TD pass of the game for Trev, 14th of the season.

TIGERS LEAD 38-7 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:09:00

INT NOLAN TURNER!!! He returns it all the way to the Tech 7 for 1st and goal! Trev will try to score again here, and I suspect his day will be done at halftime, as I expected.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:10:00

TD ETN!!! His 1st of the game.

TIGERS LEAD 45-7 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:13:14

So ABC just said that Donnell Pumphrey holds the FBS record for most career games with a TD at 41, but we were told for weeks by Clemson that the record was 38, held by Tebow and Dixon. I'll have to get clarification on that! Either way, ETN will have the record soon. He now has 40 games with a TD.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:15:47

Simpson makes a big hit on 3rd down, and the D forces yet another 3 and out! Offense will have less than a minute to see if they can get some more points before half.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:16:16

Dixon reverses his field and runs for a 1st down across midfield!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:17:24

Tigers call at timeout with 31 seconds left in the half.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:18:35

Complete to Allen for a 1st down at the Tech 16! Tigers should have a few shots at the end zone.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:21:23

TD AMARI!!! His 2nd of the game comes on play action with 16 seconds left! Perfect pass by Trev for his 5th TD pass of game, 15th of season.

TIGERS LEAD 52-7 WITH 16 SECONDS LEFT IN HALF.

Looks like my 59-10 prediction is in pretty good shape! Lol the line was only 26.5 for this game.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:22:58

Tech runs out the clock.

TIGERS LEAD 52-7 AT THE HALF.

How bad would it be if the Tigers hadn't turned it over 3 times?! Lol Trevor Lawrence was 22-27 for 391 yards and 5 TD's in the HALF! That's a hell of a game for a Heisman candidate, let alone a half! Ironically, though, his streak of a year without an INT ended 13 throws shy of the ACC record.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:54:07

Dixon makes a poor decision to return the kick and is tackled at the 5.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:54:47

Surprised to see Trevor start the 2nd half. I imagine he will be done after this possession.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:55:05

Complete to Ladson for a 1st down!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:55:32

Trev takes a shot down field but overthrows Amari.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:55:54

Incomplete to Ladson. Brings up 3rd and 10.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 13:57:47

Trevor goes deep again for EJ Williams and overthrows again. Spiers out to punt for the first time today!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:03:09

D gets another turnover on downs! Tigers take over at midfield.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:08:36

As I expected, Trevor is done for the day but surprisingly Taisun is the first backup in at QB.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:11:29

Tigers go 3 and out, Spiers to punt for the 2nd time in the half and the game.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:12:06

Ball pops out of Sims's hand, and Mascoll recovers inside the Tech 5 yard line!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:15:10

Chez Mellusi punches it in for the TD!

TIGERS LEAD 59-7 IN 3RD.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:16:44

Yet another 3 and out for the D! Lol they have more 3 and outs than Tech has 1st downs.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:17:11

Taisun still in at QB.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:17:41

Incomplete to Ajou.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:17:59

Taisun goes 3 and out again.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:19:03

Sims runs 15 yards on 2nd and 17.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:19:49

D forces another 3 and out! Lol

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:20:49

Taisun runs for 6 yards and gets a late hit for 15 more yards!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:23:03

Jaelyn Lay catches a short pass to make it 4th and one, and the Tigers will go for it.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:23:55

Rencher barely picks up the 1st down. Ball at midfield.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:25:29

Freshman Kobe Pace runs for a 1st down toend the quarter!

TIGERS LEAD 59-7 HEADED TO THE 4TH.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:27:05

Taisun has gone to the locker room, and Hunter Helms is in at QB for some reason. Not sure why DJ isn't in the game.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:28:48

Helms complete to Pace on 4th and 4 for a 1st down!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:30:19

TD AJOU!!! Lol wow, great pass by Helms, and Ajou climbs the ladder to get it! First career TD for the freshman Ajou!

TIGERS LEAD 66-7 IN 4TH.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:31:30

Good grief they reversed the call and called it incomplete. Looked like a TD catch to me.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:31:57

Pace runs for a 1st down inside the 10.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:32:29

TD PACE!!! Helms gets his 1st TD pass after all.

TIGERS LEAD 66-7 IN 4TH.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:33:26

D forces another punt!

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:34:59

TD AJOU!!! Lol on a tunnel screen from Helms! Makes up for the one that was reversed. Tigers' 4th string guys are dominating Tech's starters!

TIGERS LEAD 73-7 IN 4TH.

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:36:43

Tigers bring Spiers in at QB, and he throws a 1st down to Drew Swinney! Lol

CUTrevor 2020-10-17 14:37:52

TIGERS WIN 73-7!!!

I'll have post-game interviews posted in a bit!
