What's Buzzin'

Colin Peek and Travis Chambers will be taking a redshirt this season to fully recover from injuries. That doesn't help in the linebacker spot for sure. Is it just me, or does it seem like Travis has been in the program for a long time already? For some reason, I thought he had already taken a redshirt, but he is technically a junior this season...................... While the Jackets should win Saturday in convincing fashion against Samford, they are an interesting team. They love to the throw the ball. Three and sometimes four receiver sets are the norm. Should be very interesting for the young secondary. They held up well against the talented QB/2 WR tandem of Notre Dame. Question is - how good is Samford at getting rid of the ball quickly? Can they execute before the fast Tech D gets to the QB................... Depth - very important, and clearly lacking as Tech wore down in the 2nd half of the Notre Dame game. As it turns out the 1st string O-Line and the LB core played the entire game. That's a problem. Of course the offense was on the field so little in the 2nd half, but it still takes its toll..................... Calvin Johnson was named co-ACC Offensive Back of the week, along with BC QB Matt Ryan............. The broadcast of the GT / Notre Dame game out-drew last year's opening game by 61% for ABC. ABC Primetime Saturday night was a hit..................


On the recruiting front, word is that Josh Nesbitt is going to announce the school of his choice prior to his high school game this Friday - stay tuned..........
