I texted a few people in the first quarter yesterday and said "This is the 2006 Georgia Tech game all over again." The Yellow Jackets jumped out to a 21-0 lead over the unbeaten Hokies that day, and though Tech rallied and the defense played well after the first quarter, that hole they dug themselves into was too much. Yesterday's game had the same feel, though the Hokies did come back to tie it.
I don't have any problem admitting that I thought Tech would play better. I thought they matched up well in the secondary and that offense wouldn't look like their old selves for the first half of football. Instead, ECU's receivers beat Tech deep while the offense struggled, and the result was a 21-0 lead before some people had even made it into the stadium from the tailgating lots.
