Don’t give up; it’s only spring
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Let me begin on a personal note by thanking the Lunch Bunch crowd at Frankie’s for the warm reception today. It was great to meet so many fine folks.
As I said in that talk, it would be a mistake to draw too many negative conclusions from Saturday’s spring game. Some reasons:
1) It’s just a spring game. 2) Cord Howard and A.J. Smith, who might end up starting on the offensive line, weren’t playing. 3) Georgia Tech’s offense has looked better than that in practice. 4) Other defenses won’t have practiced against Tech’s offense nearly as many times as Tech’s defense has. Part of the success of the system will be opponents’ lack of familiarity with it. 5) Josh Nesbitt was coming off an injury. 6) It was only the 15th practice of an entirely new offense. 7) Your defensive front four might be pretty darned tough for anyone to block. 8) Jonathan Dwyer will hold onto the ball eventually. He has the talent and the want-to and just needs more practice. 9) It’s just a spring game. 10) It’s just a spring game.
