Jackets still focused
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
One of the most overused concepts in football is the idea of “looking ahead.” Sometimes, though, there’s some truth to it. Teams come out flat because their minds were never really on the game being played because the next game was so big.
Well, that’s one thing Tech won’t be doing this week. “Looking ahead” to North Carolina? To Duke? Not very believable. And the Georgia game and whatever comes after it are still a long, long way away.
If there are any issues this week, they might be from being mentally exhausted after a four-game stretch that included games at Virginia Tech, at home against Maryland, at Clemson and at home against Miami. Going 3-1 on that stretch will be the key to Tech’s season, assuming it doesn’t screw up in the next three weeks.
