Official 2025 Opening Week - Georgia Tech Thread

Late to the party here and don't need to rehash anything that's already been said.

However, a thought that came to me in the off-season and still resonates. What kind of program is Prime trying to build? Is CU a spread-type offense that highlights pass or run first? Just pure smash mouth and run first? A type of WCO with RPO? An Air Raid program, which was basically what they had been for the past two years. Or, does he simply want his defenses to be elite and have an offense that can play clock management?

I know he has said he wants to be more physical and run the ball more this offseason, and that's what he wants going forward. However, I don't see that with this program, and honestly don't believe that suits Prime the best.

We are probably overreacting to everything as it is game one. We need to play it out. However, you can't go one way for two years, then just switch that up. This is going to take time and honestly makes no sense to me.

The same problems that plagued this team last year (physical teams up front who run the ball at a great to elite status) are still a very big problem. This coaching staff needs to get better quickly, as they do not have the best player in college and an elite QB (at least not yet for QB).

That entire "he's new" or "he's a transfer" or "it's his first game at this level" doesn't fly with me. Every team has transfers that start, especially at QB. Do all of those players take until game 6 before they are comfy without their blanky? Either you perform or you dont. It's simple , are you skilled enough to make plays and make the right decisions where you are playing now. Other players around the country are taking advantage of their new situation, all I'm hearing are excuses. Players and coaches need to do better, period.

FWIW, my "trust" point is not so much trust in the player but trust that he can get separation quickly.

Texting with some coaching buddies this week, and the consensus has been it looks like Shurmur is running what he THINKS a college offense should look like. But it's just sprinkles of various concepts with no real "spine" and nothing utilized to impose will or get the defense on its heels.
