Justin who? Looks like the Jackets might be just fine under center.
TaQuon Marshall shone in his first game starting as quarterback, setting the Tech record for rushing touchdowns, making an incredible 44 carries, and rushing for 249 yards – one of the finest offensive performances by a Tech QB arguably ever. The rest of the offense, despite being hampered by the loss of BB Dedrick Mills and an injury to AB Clinton Lynch, was superb, providing 635 total yards of offense, impressive even against a porous Vols stop unit.
Paul Johnson’s vision of the triple-option death march was on full display, as Tech ate up the clock (41:18 time of possession) and steadily outgained Tennessee 635-369.
