On Monday, the website HeroSports.com listed Georgia Tech at No. 40 on its Top 100 College Football Programs for 2017 list. Earlier today, the ACC media predicted the Jackets to finish third in the ACC Coastal.
One of the big reasons writer Andrew Doughty gives for the Yellow Jackets being put on the upper half of this year’s ranking is Tech’s depth and talent in the backfield.
Georgia Tech has already announced that Matthew Jordan is expected to start against Tennessee in the season opener at quarterback, and the team will look to Dedrick Mills and Clinton Lynch to carry the load in the run game.
