Congrats to TaQuon and Parker!

QUARTERBACK – TaQuon Marshall, Georgia Tech, Sr., Hamilton, Ga.
Marshall led Georgia Tech to scores on each of its first seven possessions of the game before being removed with more than four minutes to go in the third quarter of a 66-31 win at Louisville • Rushed for a season-high 175 yards and two touchdowns • Led a Yellow Jacket attack that amassed 542 yards on the ground, the third-highest single-game rushing total in school history and Georgia Tech’s most ever in a conference game • Has now engineered 14-straight scoring drives – the final series against Clemson on Sept. 22, six straight series to open the game vs. Bowling Green on Sept. 29 (all touchdowns) and seven straight series (six touchdowns, one field goal) to open the game at Louisville.

OFFENSIVE LINEMAN – Parker Braun, Georgia Tech, Jr., LG, Hallsville, Texas
Braun was the top performer on an offensive line that paved the way for Georgia Tech to rush for 542 yards – the third-highest total in school history and its most ever in a conference game – in a 66-31 win at Louisville • Took 15 defenders to the ground despite playing only three quarters • Helped Georgia Tech average 8.3 yards per rush and record only one negative yardage play in the game.

But, QBs can't be successful in this offense. They can't get accolades or love balling out.. Or can they? :sneaky:

Seriously though big props to both these guys, they deserved the recognition! Let's keep it rolling with a good week of practice

Well deserved. Marshall played flawlessly. What year is Oliver though? He looks like a stud too. We had no answer for him in Tampa

FWIW, here are TaQuon's stats YTD and how they scale across through 13 games (see what I did there)....YTD / 13 Game Extrapolation / (2017 Season of 11 Games)
TaQuon Marshall
Passing Yards: 554 / 1200 / (927)
Passing TDs: 2 / 4 / (10)
Rushing Yards: 557 / 1206 / (1146)
Rushing TDs: 9 / 20 / (17)

Last year TaQuon had 1156 rushing yards and KirVonte Benson had 1053. The next highest was Nate Cottrell with 271! We had 3381 total rushing yards. Right now we are on pace for 4,800 yards of rushing (!). We have a reasonable chance of having 3 guys break 1,000 yards rushing (TaQuon, Mason, Tobias).
