Lack of depth hurts STs
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Starting cornerback Kenny Scott would like to return kickoffs. Safety Chris Reis enjoys getting in the mix on the kickoff coverage team. Other starters wouldn’t mind seeing special teams action, too.
But it probably won’t happen at Georgia Tech. Concerns about overall depth prevent coaches from using their best players on special teams, as well. As a result, many of those on the coverage, kickoff and punt teams are freshmen who wouldn’t get on the field otherwise.
With special teams playing such a vital role — and Tech struggling in at least one unit nearly every game this year — do you think the Yellow Jackets should consider putting more of its premier players on special teams, or is it too much of a risk?
