How great will Choice be?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
We spent a lot of the spring focusing on what’s new with Georgia Tech football, at quarterback, at receiver, at linebacker, at defensive back. But one of the most intriguing things about the 2007 Yellow Jackets might be what Tashard Choice can achieve behind a more experienced offensive line.
Four of the starters from last season are back. So is fullback Mike Cox. And Choice is the No. 8 returning rusher in the nation, at 105.2 yards per game.
Choice had good games last season against two of the nation’s best running defenses: 107 yards on 26 carries against Miami (No. 4 in the nation against the run) and 105 on 18 carries against Virginia Tech (No. 11 against the run) and 169 on 27 carries against West Virginia (No. 13 against the run).
New to the schedule this season: Boston College, which was 26th against the run, and Army, which was 115th out of 119 teams. Off the schedule: N.C. State (85th) and Troy (53rd).
