Backups get their shot

By Larry Hartstein | Wednesday, October 8, 2008, 07:32 AM

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A friend, a Chicagoan turned Atlantan turned New Yorker who follows the Jackets, reminded me that Tuesday was the 92nd anniversary of Georgia Tech’s 222-0 win over Cumberland.

Check out this amusing account of the massacre.

Not saying Saturday’s game against Gardner-Webb will be a blowout of epic proportions, but Tech should roll, giving us plenty of time to see some seldom-used players.

Two guys I’d like to see get an opportunity are strong-armed senior QB Calvin Booker and freshman A-back Marcus Wright.

Wright is a Parade All-American from Texas, a very quick running back who is expected to take off his redshirt. If that happens, he’ll become the seventh true freshman Tech has used this season.

So, which backups do you most want to see, and why?
