The countdown to kickoff is officially on as Georgia Tech's season-opening matchup at Colorado on Aug. 29 is less than 100 days away.
Until then JOL will be counting it down with one Jackets' player daily that wore the corresponding number of days remaining until toe meets leather in Boulder.
With it now 98 days until kickoff in Boulder, today's focus is on No. 98 Kevin Battle, who was a big contributor to the Jackets' defense during the 1990 national championship season both literally and figuratively. Battle stood at 6-foot-5 and 295 pounds and started for the Jackets that season at nose guard as a redshirt-sophomore.
