Georgia Tech preparing for Clemson’s screens

After getting “screened to death” in defeating Mercer two weeks ago, Vanderbilt inexplicably stayed away from the high-percentage pass for most of Georgia Tech’s win over the Commodores last week.

That will change when Tech (3-0, 1-0 ACC) hosts Clemson (3-0) on Thursday at Bobby Dodd Stadium because the screen pass is an important part of the Tigers’ playbook…even if it’s not being used as much this season.

“We’ve got to do a great job with that because they’ve got a great screen game,” Tech defensive coordinator Ted Roof said.
