Saturday Blitz ACC Power Rankings Week 4
2. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, 4-0 (1-0), Defeated Virginia Tech Hokies 27-24 Last Saturday
That’s right, the team that was supposed to fall off the college football map is No. 2 in the ACC right now. I’ll be the first to eat crow on this one, as I was among those predicting that the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets were done under Paul Johnson and that this would be his last year.
Not only are the Yellow Jackets not done, but they look like one of the best Georgia Tech teams in the Paul Johnson era. This team has a balanced attack, somewhat, that was able to beat Virginia Tech last weekend by two crucial passing plays.
All of a sudden, Georgia Tech has gone from trying to stay afloat in college football to hoping to win the ACC Coastal Division. And they have a very good chance at doing that with the way this season is going. The Yellow Jackets are sticking to their style of play with a strong rushing attack, but Justin Thomas also has an impressive 7 touchdowns to only 1 interception passing as well. This offense is scary now that you have to respect the passing game, so watch out for what this team can do.
