I think that will happen if our defense can keep the opponent to under 21 points per game.Perhaps wishful thinking but I would love for Tech to put up so many points early on some teams this year that both of our backup QBs get plenty of game time. I want this both for the experience gained but also for their morale.
Gotta look at 2016 as well. Byerly will be gone, so having MJ ready to backup JeT in 2016 is just as important.

Our zone pass coverage was bad, too. Our LB's couldn't cover. Couple that with no pressure and you give up a lot of 1st downs.3rd down pass plays kept our D on the field too many times last year. A better pass rush is key to the improvement there.
If we could just force one more punt a game--maybe two--I think you'd see more of the backups getting in the game. Looking back at the first seven games of last year, we could really have used an extra stop in all of those games. While Georgia Southern was a pretty good team, they should have been playing against our backups in the second half. More so for Tulane. And, of course UNC and Duke...We ranked 114 out of 128 teams in 3rd conversions allowed (45.5%). That says it all right there. We've got to get off the field when given the opportunity.
Gotta think Damon Mitchell is kicking himself in the rear. Instead of battling MJ for backup duties and possible starter down the line, he's at Arkansas where the coaches are still trying to find a position for him.
Love that last point!Without a doubt...check his bio.
"REDSHIRT FRESHMAN (2014)Moved to wide receiver in the offseason and ppeared in four contests… Recorded six receptions for 58 yards… vs. Nicholls (Sept. 6): Tallied a career-high 36 yards rushing on three attempts, including a game-long 13-yard run… vs. UAB (Oct. 25): Recorded a career-long 15-yard rush."
they didn't even care enough to spell appeared right.
Also of note...He has been at Arkansas for two years now...and during that time Georgia Tech has as many SEC wins as Arkansas does.
Don't forget about this guy lol
