Roof with updates on Georgia Tech position battles

Georgia Tech defensive coordinator Ted Roof provided updates on a few position battles on Tuesday for his group, which allowed averages of 25.8 points and 368 yards per game last season.

Coach Paul Johnson said he would like to see the defense reduce its yards allowed per play (5.8; Tech’s was 5.9) and to create more defenses. He said better execution by the offense will help the defense.

Roof said the defense is moving fast in camp in learning the schemes, but that’s by design. They are aggressively installing the defense and then will go back and refine.
