ATLANTA (AP) -- Justin Thomas's will to win has helped Georgia Tech get off to an impressive start in what has been a memorable first month as the Yellow Jackets' starting quarterback.

Quote from the article:
"Thomas said he is motivated by 'the will to win, not wanting to fail.' 'I know nobody wants to fail but it's the want-to, I guess,' he said. 'You've got to want to win and do anything possible to help the team to win.'"

This is a precious commodity in a competitive arena that also has a good deal or parity among teams, such as in the ACC Coastal. If Tech gets enough players with the same "want-to" with the practice and work effort to have highly developed "muscle memory" and with just enough natural talent then they can win some big games together. Next one is Saturday.

His will to win is very similar to what we saw with Nesbitt. Didn't know if I would ever see another player like him, especially in a guy that is forty lbs lighter.

Don't know if it's a "will to win" or a "refuse to lose" thing, but I like it.
