After another excruciating one-point loss last Saturday against Miami, it is understandable for Tech football fans to be frustrated. One point losses on close plays to end games will do that. Despite Tech’s mediocre 3-2 record, there is still reason to be optimistic about Tech football, even in spite of the brutal schedule ahead.
On Saturday, Tech joined a handful of BCS teams to have multiple one-point losses in a season. Since 2000, only 37 teams have lost multiple games by one point. While the 3-2 record hurts when it comes to conference standings and bowl game qualifications, Tech is a much better team than that record indicates, and future games should reflect that reality.
