Busting Brackets
The Yellow Jackets have been hanging by a thread since those first two great seasons under Johnson, but anybody can be good with a throw-you-off system when they start. Eventually, people figure you out, and Johnson’s squads have gone 6-7, 8-5, 7-7, and 7-6 the past four years.
This year the bottom falls out with the loss of 12 starters and quarterback Vad Lee gone. There is some returning talent here to make it appear as if this team would be the same, but it won’t happen. There are no wins in the ACC for the Yellow Jackets this year. They’ve stayed stagnant while everybody else has made strides.
That makes for a 3-9 season while going 0-8 in the conference.
