Technical Tidbits 9/8: Mills and Benson suspended for Mercer game, Johnson shakes up depth chart

When Georgia Tech takes on Mercer this weekend, the team will be going for the win without contributions from a pair of newly-suspended B-Backs: starter Dedrick Mills and backup KirVonte Benson. The punishment was announced yesterday afternoon by Paul Johnson following a couple of undisclosed violations of team rules committed by the pair. The news of the suspension, as disappointing as it is on principle, likely won't have a large impact on the outcome of the game one way or another simply because of the talent discrepancy between Tech and Mercer, but we've seen a number of upsets and near-upsets so far this season.
