Georgia Tech Preview

Sometimes when trying to figure out how good an opponent is going to be, it can help to look at what they don't have. Obviously the Yellow Jackets are without all-world wide receiver Calvin Johnson this season as will be turning heads in the NFL doing stuff like this.

On the other side of the coin, as QB Reggie Ball leaves, he takes his less than impressive statistics with him, leaving room for his succesor, Taylor Bennet. The current GT signal caller had a strong showing in last years bowl game against West Virginia, completing 19 passes for 326 yards and a 3 touchdowns.

On the ground, Tashard Choice looks to improve on last years numbers, where he lead the ACC in rushing. Behind a capable fullback in Mike Cox and an experienced offensive line, Notre Dame's new 3-4 front will be challenged early.

Bawl hawk safety Jamal Lewis leads a defense that returns 8 starters, but I can't help thinking that he looks out of place in their secondary.

Lastly, ESPN has Georgia Tech's punter Durant Brooks as the favorite to win the Ray Guy award. Obviously someone hasn't told them about Geoff Price yet.
