Football Notes

Tune in to FSN South Thursday night at 10:30pm for you Jacket preview and in the ATL Saturday at 12:30 pm on WSBYour season tickets are on the way............. Well, Jon Tenuta better have the defense ready for UNC this season, because his old nemesis is preparing for him........... Some big names talk about who has a better chance for an opening weekend upset - Georgia Tech or UGA - guys like Trev Alberts, Brent Musburger, Jim Donnan, Terry Bowden and Tim Brando............... Back to practice on Monday, and getting ready for scrimmage #2 Wednesday. Gary Gutyon and Colin Peek continue to impress and the injuries on the O-Line continue to increase. Minor as they may be, they result in fewer snaps for the 1st team. We can't hardly get through practices, so how can we get through the season. Stay strong fans - hang tight. They'll come together!!! Well, the O-Line is evidently a tight-knit group, which is a good thing for sure.................. Here are a few more team notes.............. Here's a list of all current ACC commits , with Georgia Tech with the fewest. By the way, Scout.com has moved QB Byron Ingram from a 1-star to a 3-star and moved Robert Hall from a 3-star to a 2-star. Basically it's the first real evaluation of Ingram for them, and they were not impressed with Hall's games they saw...................... Here's a nice story on Tashard Choice and more details about his personal situation.............. Wes Durham entertained Tech fans on Monday - here's the report from the lunch bunch............... Buy an Auburn / GT ticket on eBay.......... The AJC is scrapping their premium pay service and opening up all content for everyone.................... Georgia Tech's defense is ranked #8 in the country by CFN............ Calvin Johnson gets many props by some ex-pros for the Biletnikoff award. But as they say - the key is often if there's a guy to get him the ball...................... CFN's top 100 players continues - First, they move Gerris Wilkinson up from #101 to #100. PJ Daniels clocks in at #67 and Calvin Johnson at #68........................


INJURY NOTES
RS frosh Jacob Lonowski, whose was getting reps with the first team due to injuries to Matt Rhodes and Nate McManus, leaves practice towards the end with a minor injury. Ughhh!! As a result, Salih Besirevec started working at the guard position. What does that mean - depth at Right Tackle just took a hit. Oh yeah, who stepped in on the line when Lonowski went down? True frosh Dan Voss....................RaShaun Grant, Sam Williams and George Cooper (left ankle), Xavier McGuire missed Monday's practice nursing small injuries....................


WHERE ARE THEY NOW
Kelly Campbell will miss the next preseason game against the Jets due to injuring a quad last week. Of course with his off-the-field antics and general behavior, I'm not so sure he was going to see the field anyhow..................


AROUND THE ACC
Bad news for Maryland.........
