Staying healthy helps
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Calvin Johnson and Reggie Ball and their teammates deserve credit. Chan Gailey and Patrick Nix and Jon Tenuta and the rest of the coaches deserve credit.
But when you’re looking for the people to thank for Tech’s 6-2 record and first-place position in the ACC Coastal Division, don’t forget Jay Shoop, Clay Farr, Dr. Angelo Galante and Dr. John Xerogeanes.
The Yellow Jackets, knock on something, have stayed amazingly healthy this season. Darrell Robertson missed the first game. Djay Jones missed the third. By my count, those are the only two games starters have missed due to injury.
The number is likely to rise this week because of another injury to Jones, but the Jackets still will be far ahead of their ACC rivals in their ability to stay on the field.
