One positive and something I really like is how much more aggressive we’ve been in the pass game today.
Something we’ve been needing that we haven’t seen in years.
Brent Key in the offseason: “But I'll be damned if I sit out there again and watch on third and one, all right, or first and goal on the five, not be able to convert the first down or get the ball in the end zone, boys.”
Cayman Spaulding is our new starting linebacker.
The product he’s put out there so far is miles better than what we’ve been seeing.
Should never come off the field from now on.
Georgia Tech will start Will Reed at center, Jordan Floyd at LT, AJ Hoffler at DE, Cayman Spaulding at LB, and Trae Stevenson at CB. Replacing injured Jackets, Riggs, Mackenny; Walker, Efford, and Mbakwe all dinged after the Tenn game.
UPDATE: A couple changes have been made to the 2027 schedule.
The changes include:
- 9 ACC games instead of 8
- Syracuse, UNC, and Notre Dame dropped off the schedule
- Pitt at home, VT at home, and a road game at Boston College moved onto the schedule
Back to back P4 again 😬
Saturday is trending toward another sell-out or near sell-out crowd for Georgia Tech as they host Mercer at noon.
From GT Sports Info:
"Currently nearing 50k tickets out for Saturday. Will be the biggest crowd for an FCS opponent since at least 2017 vs Jacksonville State (50,161).
Wouldn’t be getting gashed if we had somewhat competent LB play.
And it wouldn't just fix the run stopping, it'd make this one of the best defenses in the ACC.
Georgia Tech DT Tawfiq Thomas says during his media today that teams are going to continue to try to gash them in the run game until they put something on film to make them change their mind. He said they are working to change that with everyone doing "their job."
