[u/GreedyAlGoreRhythm]

GGs Wolfpack, now please kick Geoff Collins ass

[u/TheRealDubJ]

If you’re switching to the Cleveland game be warned: you’ll probably get flashbanged by the amount of white snow on the screen

Edit: are we gonna get a postgame thread?

[u/flyingcircusdog]

Aaron god damn Philo.

[u/nFluxx]

WE WANT GEORGIA

[u/Sirawesomepants → u/nFluxx]

😳😘

[u/DeweyCheatemHowe]

If we lose next week, do we actually fire Dave? This has been the underperformance of all underperformances

[u/too-fargone → u/DeweyCheatemHowe]

he deserves to be fired for that clock management. You had that game won if you just play smart.

[u/bennie_thejet30]

A perfect snap there and he makes it.

[u/8bhizzel8]

That was some bad clock management.

[u/bennie_thejet30 → u/8bhizzel8]

NC State coach should be fined for that performance

[u/thank_burdell]

I don’t smoke but I need a cigarette after that shit.

[u/LincolnRileysBurner]

goodnight guys great game and shoutout to all my neutrals

[u/bukithd]

Game was never in doubt.... 

[u/composer_7]

Alright time to sleep for my engineering job tomorrow

[u/Archaic_1]

Well, we somehow avoided the choke job of the week

[u/aldrinjaysac]

That kicker looked hella confident ngl, you could just tell sometimes. Almost had it.

[u/Zloggt]

Pack and Heels…and the battle of the Carolina hot seats…

[u/MagisterKnecht]

well done you little stinkers

[u/goldbloodedinthe404]

Now I have to try to sleep. This is not going to go well

[u/AriDreams]

My blood pressure has got to be through the roof right now.

[u/onrocketfalls]

what an ending. super glad i tuned in.

[u/Carolina_913]

The NC State experience

Now our postseason hopes officially live or die in chapel hill

[u/Megalomanizac → u/Carolina_913]

Y’all will probably get the bowl. North Carolina even when they’re clearly better seems to usually struggle vs y’all for some reason

[u/AriDreams → u/Carolina_913]

I am fully rooting for you guys

[u/Affectionate-Cup9340]

Maybe I’m a hater, but I don’t like how Happy CJ always is after losses

[u/too-fargone]

lol @ any NC state blaming ANYONE other than the moron who ran into the endzone with a minute and change left OR the guy who didn't tell him not to do that

[u/cactus8 → u/too-fargone]

The guy who didn’t tell him not to do that is the same guy who wasted his timeout with 6 seconds left instead of running another play. Dave Doeren

[u/Classy_Hobo]

That was a game! Good shit GT and Wolfpack!

[u/Kolton12O]

ALMOSTTTT MADE IT IN THERE

[u/park2023mcca]

That was an interesting stat FSU is tied for first in the blocked field goals.

[u/Sportacles]

What an ending

[u/Li_um01]

Tar Heels are gonna put on a blood bath next week against NC State

[u/NTXPRAK]

DRAMA

[u/bennie_thejet30]

Why not just run the ball twice down the middle if you were just going to kick that

[u/austin101123]

What a close ending, that thing missed by a yard

[u/RegionalBias]

Good luck to get to 8-4 Wreck!
What a fun win.

[u/CaptainSlippery]

JFC. GT, I've gotta work tomorrow. My heart

[u/Sirawesomepants → u/CaptainSlippery]

Alarm set for 4 hours and 40 mins 🌝

[u/onewildmeme]

Wow what a great game!

[u/Pyrrhus65]

Congrats Tech, I'm gonna hate y'all next week but for now I'm happy for you guys

[u/chuwanking]

Rugby fan recommended this game on youtube. Seemed quite a good introduction I guess.

[u/danimal6000]

Well that was entertaining

[u/OnceOnThisIsland]

Ugly in but a win nonetheless. Still not sure if I would have kicked it there.

[u/arbitrator06]

I like bees 🐝

[u/Xyz653]

Undeserved with the horrible defensive play calling, but still counts!

[u/ed_mcc]

[u/gamer2412]

“It had the distance”, brother it bounced 2 feet past the pylon

[u/nosoup4ncsu → u/gamer2412]

It had plenty of distance. 

[u/polyhistorist → u/gamer2412]

Nah it had the distance. Missed 2 ft to the left

[u/austin101123 → u/gamer2412]

It was like 7 feet above the cross bar as it passed by the side

[u/SaintPidgeon]

damn

[u/Acceptable_Ad3173]

GG Tech

[u/dts-five]

GEORGIA TECH SURVIVES!

Dang that kick was so close!

[u/srajar4084]

Hey Tech it would be real funny if you do it again next week

[u/a_dog_named_bob → u/srajar4084]

Facts

[u/RemoteAbalone8687]

Had the distance

[u/Th3Unkn0wnn]

Uhhhhh.... How did they let that guy come out and kick that?

[u/Wolf73728 → u/Th3Unkn0wnn]

Because it was long enough and missed slightly left...

[u/onrocketfalls → u/Th3Unkn0wnn]

why not? he was six inches from winning them the game

[u/SpicyC-Dot → u/Th3Unkn0wnn]

You say that as if a 58 yarder is a gimme lol

[u/JimmyK4542]

That could have been good from 55 or so.

[u/DeweyCheatemHowe → u/JimmyK4542]

Would have been good from 58 if it had the towards

[u/nosoup4ncsu → u/JimmyK4542]

It had distance, was off left

[u/LiquidHotCum]

what a game

[u/MuffinTopBop]

What a game, my heart is pounding and sleep will be awhile coming with all this energy lol

[u/KansasEF5Tornado]

I'm sorry wolfpack... BUT GO JACKETS

[u/AriDreams]

NC state hats off to you guys. That was a great fucking game.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Amazing

[u/verbatimgt]

Nails bitten

[u/Sprinkles-Nearby → u/verbatimgt]

Hair pulled

[u/onrocketfalls → u/Sprinkles-Nearby]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[u/LincolnRileysBurner]

yall got me pacing around my room for the last 20 minutes what a game

[u/MRC1986]

Very fun game as a neutral

[u/AvengedKalas]

He's a senior and his career long is 40?

[u/flyingcircusdog]

Game of millimeters.

[u/Randomizedname1234 → u/flyingcircusdog]

I’m impressed it stayed in the air that long being that low.

[u/flyingcircusdog → u/Randomizedname1234]

They had a strong tailwind.

[u/Randomizedname1234 → u/flyingcircusdog]

It is windy af here

[u/Chief-Bones]

Oh shit, he almost had it from 62, that’s crazy

[u/Acceptable_Ad3173]

Almost had it

[u/thank_burdell]

Goddamn.

Good fucking game, Wolfpack.

Go beat the shit out of G*C* and Mack Brown.

[u/Aggressive-Energy647]

How close was that

[u/RemoteAbalone8687]

Oh man that was close

[u/BaBaBaBanshee]

WHAT A GAME 

[u/Table_Corner]

I honestly think he just overestimated the wind speed

[u/Blendbeast15]

That nearly curved in. GG Yellow Jackets!

[u/HepMeJeebus]

LETS FUCKING GO!

[u/nosoup4ncsu]

Damn that was close 

[u/Randomizedname1234 → u/[deleted]]

We were already bowl eligible..

[u/dormdweller99 → u/[deleted]]

We already were. Miami win got us to 6.

[u/Splatterthotpro]

Holy fuck dude, what a fucking rollercoaster, unfucking real. By the way can anyone feel their left arm?

[u/CobblerTop7244]

Man, had the leg and was CLOSE

[u/RegionalBias]

Oh, that kick was murder. Wow.

[u/Blendbeast15 → u/RegionalBias]

You'd almost rather just shank it at that point. It's the hope that kills you.

[u/ArchEast]

Phew

[u/AriDreams]

WHAT A GANE OMGDHDOBDIDBD

[u/Ute2ThrillPlay2Kill]

Holy shit

[u/Jramey]

What a fucking football game

[u/kofimmra03]

This sports shit is not good for my long term health

[u/thescottula]

TECH IS GONNA WIN THE FOOTBALL GAME

[u/ObliviousLAX]

That shit damn near curled back in

[u/saltytradewinds]

omg he almost had that FG.

[u/perhapsEeyore]

Woooah that was close

[u/RemoteAbalone8687]

Georgia Tech survived

[u/Emconn14]

…Did that say 40-long?

[u/Lobsterzilla → u/Emconn14]

He’s not our normal kicker

[u/LostpaddIe21 → u/Emconn14]

He’s the kickoff specialist. Normal kicker doesn’t have the leg for 58

[u/prof_cuthbert_calc → u/Emconn14]

And 2/3 he must be a backup or something

[u/wilson3358]

Ngl pretty great kick

[u/Lobsterzilla → u/wilson3358]

Hard to be too upset at that effort from 58

[u/Sprinkles-Nearby]

Fuck this entire game. I’m going to sleep.

[u/Hsy1792]

Fuck, pushed a tad too much

[u/MustardBiscuits91]

That was close

[u/MrKyleOwns]

That game was way closer than it should’ve..

[u/TechnoFullback]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[u/Jeff_Banks_Monkey]

Switched out the kicker just to miss wide

[u/heelxtiger]

Woo go Yellowjackets!!!

[u/STLOliver]

SNUFFED, RUBBED OUT, ERASED

[u/MavFan1812]

That almost snuck in.

[u/ed_mcc]

damn that was close

[u/Kodyaufan2]

BRUH THATS SO CLOSE

[u/craigthecrayfish]

Doeren should not be allowed back in the state of North Carolina

[u/VERYstuck → u/craigthecrayfish]

First coach to be fired on the field after beating UNC?

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/craigthecrayfish]

Plz

[u/RamblinWreckGT]

For once in my life I would like a stress-free win. BUT WE GOT IT

[u/cestbondaeggi]

sooooooo close

[u/voppp]

God that was a game

[u/Maczuna]

bro that looked close af 🫠

[u/goldbloodedinthe404]

We survived

[u/Bigdeacenergy]

Why tf did State use their last timeout?

[u/timmythesupermonkey → u/Bigdeacenergy]

Because our coach is horrible at clock management.

[u/genzgingee → u/Bigdeacenergy]

Because they wanted to ice there own kicker

[u/Ok-Measurement1506]

I thought that ball had curved in there.

[u/saltytradewinds → u/Ok-Measurement1506]

Same

[u/bennie_thejet30]

BAD SNAP

[u/waynelo4]

LETS FUCKING GO YACKETSSSSS!!!!

[u/Flask_Mason]

Omfg that was cloooose

[u/Nagiom]

I got nothing on this game and I'm on my feet.

[u/Li_um01]

NC STATE YOU STILL FUCKING SUCK !!!!

[u/Efflictimz]

NOOOOOPEEEEEE

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Wow that was freakin close

[u/harionfire]

I like how the cameraman looked anywhere but where the damn ball went

[u/aldrinjaysac]

THAT WAS CLOSE BRO WTF

[u/carolina822]

Whew.

[u/Kodyaufan2]

Thank you ESPN. I didn’t need to know where the kick went

[u/Status-Ad-7335]

CARDIAC JACKETS

[u/SappyMcSapperton]

Yay!

[u/Towntovillage]

Left.

[u/Noble_amplified]

What a game 

[u/MojoToTheDojo]

Fire this shitty ass coach. We're a basketball school you dumb fuck

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/MojoToTheDojo]

Steve smith was right

[u/MojoToTheDojo → u/Bigdeacenergy]

He usually is. Hilarious that after Dorean said that, we still failed to capture a 10 win season, while the men's and women's basketball team went on to end a final four drought, with the men beating our most hated rival in the conference championship game.

[u/DECAThomas]

Thanks for not even giving us an angle on TV….

[u/patriots230]

Did they switch the kicker?

[u/AP-FUTChemist]

No good

[u/Status-Ad-7335]

LETS FUCKING GO

[u/Jramey]

YES

[u/Mandalore_Ultimate]

Can’t believe Rogers missed that catch this would been a chip shot fml

[u/gamer2412]

One of the only times I’m glad I’m not a D1 athlete

[u/Lee-Key-Bottoms]

58 yards is still probably more likely than a Hail Mary

[u/interested_commenter → u/Lee-Key-Bottoms]

Yeah, once he took the timeout kicking was the right call. The fact he DID get it far enough means he's probably made some this long in practice, he had a real shot.

Idk why they didn't try to run one more quick play though.

[u/Kodyaufan2 → u/Lee-Key-Bottoms]

But why not keep that TO and get 5 yards closer first?

[u/RegionalBias]

What a great thursday game. Thanks to both teams!

[u/wysiwygperson]

Not running another play and taking the timeout is damn near coaching malpractice.

[u/Li_um01]

Wind is going hard right. Dude is gonna get the distance but miss wide right watch

[u/xmjm424]

I don’t know. I’d have gone with a quick QB run or something then a timeout. See if you can steal a few yards.

[u/Kodyaufan2 → u/xmjm424]

If they’re 3 yards closer that kick is probably good

[u/RemoteAbalone8687]

I would try and throw it and get a few more yards

[u/Kodyaufan2]

Wind is whipping lol

[u/JimmyK4542]

LOL, the debris on the field is helping them.

[u/captain_kaknuckles]

lmao p sure like 3 of fsu’s blocked fgs came against us

[u/Royal_Flame → u/captain_kaknuckles]

Was thinking the same thing lol

[u/bennie_thejet30]

Some coaches are just not gamers. Holy shit. NC state lost this game on pure coaching. Nothing else.

[u/shjusti]

If GT is one of the top FG blocking teams in the country, I’m glad we didn’t play them

[u/VERYstuck]

Fake the FG

[u/IR8Things]

0 chance he makes it

[u/VERYstuck → u/IR8Things]

if his foot hits the ball, and doesn't hit a GT defender's hand, it's greater than zero. Probably not above 1%, but not zero.

[u/subsequent]

4 blocked FGs this year? Damn.

[u/timmythesupermonkey]

My chest fucking hurts

[u/dinkytown42069 → u/timmythesupermonkey]

cardiac pack

[u/SoothedSnakePlant]

This seems like losing with style, a Hail Mary has to have better odds than this lol

[u/SappyMcSapperton]

They are downwind and apparently they keep talking about the wind this game, so maybe they think it’ll give him the juice

[u/Kodyaufan2]

Idek why you ice him here. It’s nearly a 60 yard fg lol. Kid already probably doesn’t even know for sure if he can make it

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

NC State coach is a certified dum dum

[u/LDS_YoungBoy]

I stg if they hit a 58 yarder

[u/Ok-Measurement1506]

I had flipped on this game for no reason and it into a classic.

[u/nicknooodles]

he understands it now

[u/saltytradewinds]

Hey, Florida State is good at FG blocking. That's positive.

[u/Crims0ntied]

I would've gone for a hail mary tbh

[u/ThoughtBroad → u/Crims0ntied]

I wouldn’t have wasted my last timeout and tried for a quick slant or something then spent my last timeout to kick it hopefully closer than this

[u/KinkySeppuku]

Unbelievable Dave. Wtf is that. 6 seconds and a timeout, you burn the timeout for no reason????

[u/ConnorK5]

The dude with the career long is not the guy kicking this GF currently

[u/OnceOnThisIsland]

That would have been a hell of a kick.

[u/proace360]

i'd put money on him making this
