Can GT Make This Projection Come True?

See the SI (Jackson Caudell) "way too early" projection below. He has the Yellow Jackets finishing at 10-2, losing only to Clemson and Georgia. Looking through his comments for each matchup, I could see this happening if we can keep everyone healthy, particularly King and Philo. Also, I think it depends on well how the defensive and offensive lines develop during the Spring and Fall practice. We also need a couple of receivers to step up and help Rutherford.

How does the Swarm feel about this projection?

Way-Too-Early Game-By-Game Predictions For the 2025 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

At long last, the ACC has released its schedule for the upcoming 2025 season and there has been plenty of analysis of each team's schedule since being released.

It's very possible that we end up 10-2. A lot would need to go right for us - including staying healthy and finding a consistent pass rush.

The losses of Biggers and Height looms large as we head into the '25 season. Finding a consistent pass rush has been a problem for us for quite some time.

Interior D-line play will tell the tale this season. If the young, inexperienced guys that have been waiting the wings show out, then 10-2 is certainly possible. Worst case is that our competition runs up the middle with little resistance from the interior D-line all day long. I trust our defensive coaches to have them ready and scheme appropriately.

DL/edge room took a hard hit. Would need both a step up from the youngins and maybe more spring portal additions.

If we can get that, I would say we have a good chance at out-muscling a few ACC teams

No game is an obvious loss for us anymore like the 100-0 days. But our margin for error/injury isn’t big

Nothing moves without ol.
Our ol game experience is way lower this coming year.
Gt stats for ol over estimates Ol expierence returning - pretty sure they count punt and fg team reps.

The redshirt sr OT( -Robinson) has portaled to being penciled in as starting right tackle for Arkansas. Another depth player (Brown) has portaled to Arizona. Also we used to show Best as a backup. He left. too.

2 years ago Mclhenney was All American freshman at left tackle, but he wained. This year he played part time in games - perhaps injury or just not strong enough. He did look active during uga game - blocked till he dropped and got up quickly to block more. The back up center never played. A TRUE FRESHMAN PLAYED MAJOR MINUTES AS A PULLING LEFT GUARD. We have a young ot from unc portal in.

I
Key has brought in more coaching help for ol. Must coach them up.

GT finished 2024 at 34th with a 7-5 record. Improving to 10-2 would mean jumping to around 15-16th (or better) in the country. I think that's a big jump AND may not include the fact that other teams will also be improving.

I'd be delighted with an 8-9 win season. It demonstrates stability and keeps up in the Top 30.
