ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia Tech's defense is earning compliments instead of criticism. The next challenge is to show its recent strong play is no fluke. Georgia Tech still ranks near the bottom of most Atlantic Coast Conference defensive statistics despite strong signs that a turnaround is...

ATLANTA (TNS) — With nine regular-season games down and three to play, Georgia Tech is where many figured the Yellow Jackets wouldn’t be — still alive in their pursuit of the ACC Coastal Division title. As such, Tech is not entertaining bowl-projection talk. My preference would be to win the...

RALEIGH — In the past two ACC games, N.C. State’s defense has made fewer mistakes and more big plays. The result this past Saturday was a 24-17 win at Syracuse, the first ACC victory for coach Dave Doeren. Georgia Tech (7-2, 4-2) offers a different challenge, similar but not exactly the same...

Justin Thomas' growth as a passer and DeAndre Smelter's success as a receiver have been headline-worthy storylines throughout Georgia Tech's 7-2 start this season. But the core truth about the Yellow Jackets still holds true: They remain pretty darn good running the football. So good, in fact...

ATLANTA -- There's something to be said about clean, efficient and decisive victories in ACC play, especially on unseasonably cold and blustery weather days in the South. Here are four things we gleaned from Georgia Tech's 35-10 home rout of Virginia on Saturday, to the blue-and-gold delight of...

Our defense has been playing schemes called by our defensive coordinator, Ted Roof, and he has been making those calls based on the personnel he currently has on his roster; personnel that was signed, for the most part, to play in a 3-4 defense rather than a 4-3-4 defense or a 4-2-5 defense. To...

What an idiot. Have you ever thought that calls from the defensive sideline impacts where our players line up, and, therefore, puts them in a position to play 10 yards off the line of scrimmage or in zone coverage, or to play on an outside rush for containment, rather than rush inside and try to...

And let's not forget Tony Zenon is probably the best receiver out of all of our A-Backs; maybe even our second best receiver behind Smelter.

Also, Jabari Hunt-Days was expected to be a starter this coming season but ended up losing his scholarship but staying on the team as a "walk-on" until next year. In my opinion, he would have had a HUGE impact THIS season, based on everything I've heard he's done as he's helped our offense...

I'm thinking THIS will be the first game we'll need to alter our snap count because I have a feeling Tenuta's going to have his guys trying to jump us and get to Justin before he has a chance to start his progressions. If we start getting some offsides to keep them them honest, it should slow...

Duke has been, BY FAR, the dirtiest team we've played this season, and the refs were in position to make the calls and ignored them, including the plays where they INTENTIONALLY hurt Justin's ankles TWICE by grabbing and twisting after the tackle. Their team gets away with more "posturing" after...

Wait - that sounds like a Jon Tenuta type of defense to me.

Paul Johnson needs to remind them about the Georgia Southern game and tell them there's another 30 minutes to play.

With the state of college football today, it seems like offenses have taken over and defenses have gone by the wayside for the most part, not just at GA Tech. So the fact that WE curretly have the TOP offense says a lot, if you ask me. Regarding the state of the defense, I think we all have to...

ATLANTA (TNS) — This season’s Georgia Tech offense looks a lot like the previous seasons under coach Paul Johnson. The formations are mostly the same, the plays are mostly the same and the number of wins remains similar. But within this year’s results are some differences. The big plays — runs...

I was thinking the same thing until it occured to me that it's possible some oppossing fans (read that Dawg fans) buy Tech season tickets so they can have good seats every two years in Atlanta and then scalp their other tickets to whomever is willing to buy them for all the other games, which...

The Coach K. wannabe whiny coach of the gidiron (Coach Cutcliff) may have decided that us wearing white against them has been lucky for us and bad luck for them and he's looking for anything to try to break their losing spell, thinking it will throw us off our game if we can't wear white...

I was in the Edge Center, a few hours before the game, and saw that he (Derrick) and Joe Hamilton had a chance to meet with our recruits and their families (which is a usual "tradition), too. I guess you can imagine those two are pretty good "representatives" of our program.

Georgia Southern, i Georgia Southern is actually Georgia Southern University, ergo, the original "GSU" football team since Georgia State just started playing football.

Actually, if you take away the Georgia Southern game, our defense has actually acquitted themselves pretty well, especially making terrific halftime adjustments in the other 4 victories (just not against GSU). Don't forget, we came into the system with a relatively "young" (read that...
