So far, so good—and this one felt really good. After a less-than-perfect win over Mercer in the home opener, Tech took care of business against nonconference foe Vanderbilt, riding strong play in all phases of the game to a 38-7 victory. The offense played dynamic, mistake-free ball and the defense mostly shut down a very capable rushing attack, and as a result, Tech is 3-0 heading into the heart of the ACC schedule.
It wasn’t perfect, and there’s still plenty of work to do, particularly on defense. But Tech showed major improvement in some of the major areas of concern from a week ago, and at this stage of the season, that’s a terrific sign.
