It's always been said that
when coach Paul Johnson gets
a great quarterback to run his
triple option system the results
are magnificent. Guess what,
Justin Thomas is that guy. And
the 2013 results saw these Yellow
Jackets post an impressive 10-2
regular season and a birth in
the ACC Championship Game. Two
huge problems exist though.
Five of the top six running
backs were seniors. Days, Laskey,
Zenon, Hill and Perkins are
no longer available. The second
problem is on the defensive
side where good offenses have
easily exploited this glaring
weakness making it impossible
to outscore the opponent at
times. The ACC Coastal division
has a reputation for being a
complete roller coaster. Seemingly
for now, Georgia Tech is in
a position to provide some consistency
at the top where six loss teams
competing for the division title
aren't the norm. Especially
with Thomas behind center. |
