The bye week could not have arrived at a better time for Tech, as several starters on both sides of the ball were out or limited against Georgia Southern. So it should have been good news when this week’s injury report came out and only three players were listed, right? Well... not quite. Senior linebacker P.J. Davis will miss his second straight game, and—almost out of the blue—freshman B-back Dedrick Mills will be out this week after sustaining an upper-body injury in practice.
Just when things were mostly looking up health-wise, Tech now finds itself heading into a crucial divisional matchup without a key playmaker on each side of the ball.
