There are at least three glaring weaknesses that I don't think can be addressed in the off-season. 1) The DC seems incapable, due to a change in personnel or scheme, of making any significant adjustments to resist what other teams do on offense as the game goes along. Early, or late, they figure out our D and we seem to have no response. This has been the case for years. 2) Without a semblance of a consistent passing game, we are so predictable at this time of the year, even Virginia and Duke can stop us, especially if we are behind. Still can't understand why we can't develop a quick short passing game to the ABs 3) To somehow expect us to be substantially improved next year, with a year of experience, or some new good ( but not great) players, is not realistic. Our depth is thin, our talent level is average, and has been for years. If just about EVERY BREAK goes our way and we suffer minimal injuries, we can get 9+ wins. Otherwise, it's from 5-6 to 7-5. Recruiting at Tech is VERY difficult, IMO for 2 reasons : 5* players don't want, or need to work at school as much as we ask them to, and the TO is not really attractive to athletes looking at the next level. Can things improve? Sure! Can we be equal to the factories in most athletics( even if we wanted to)? Not as long as UGA remains the " big Dawg" in the state! We will probably end this season 5-6. Considering our talent available, I don't think that's a Fluke.
