The Jackets had very little to improve upon after their thrashings of both Alcorn State and Tulane but last Saturday’s game against Notre Dame exposed some weaknesses that could haunt Tech this year. All three phases succumbed to predictable weaknesses: namely lack of quarterback pressure and holes in the secondary on defense, poor blocking and an anemic passing game on offense, and missed field goals on special teams.
Bear with me, but we need to dive into some plays that help encapsulate what went wrong for the Jackets on Saturday.
Georgia Tech’s defense was stout early, forcing a punt from DeShone Kizer and the Irish offense in the first drive.
