A week ago, Tech walked into Blacksburg without five offensive starters—a group that included the team’s starting quarterback, leading rusher, and best offensive lineman. Amid all that, they walked out with a decisive victory over the No. 14 team in the country.
Tomorrow, when the Jackets take the field on Senior Day, they’ll do so at nearly full strength. Only one Week 1 starter will not be on the field on Saturday, and he’ll be returning for the season finale against Georgia. It’s a remarkably happy turnaround for a team that was ravaged by injuries a year ago, and it can only help as the team makes a push to finish the regular season with eight wins.
