Wide receiver Micheal Summers (84) caught the first touchdown pass of the 2015 season for Georgia Tech.

ATLANTA -- Paul Johnson's system is entrenched.

It's not that Alcorn State was ever expected to challenge last season's Orange Bowl champions, but the apparent ease of Georgia Tech's 69-6 season-opening win was noteworthy. The FCS visitors were dispatched in record fashion on Thursday night. This was a lopsided showcase for a team replacing roughly three-quarters of its offensive production.

"After the third series I was pretty sure who was going to win," Johnson said, referencing his team's 34-point first quarter.
