Beyond the Flats: Taylor Bennett

In this weekly feature, we’ll take a look at what Tech’s finest are up to since leaving the Institute. This week, we focus on Taylor Bennett.

On January 1, 2007, after backing up perennial starter Reggie Ball for much of his career, Taylor Bennett was thrust into the spotlight. The setting: the 2007 Gator Bowl against the #13 West Virginia Mountaineers in Jacksonville. The Mountaineers, led by Pat White, were in the midst of a bright moment for their program, but the Jackets were also shining bright that year, going 8-5 and 7-1 in ACC play in route to a 6-9 lost to Wake Forest in the ACC Championship Game.
