Kick coverage a concern
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Whenever Tech plays someone we should manhandle, I primarily worry about injuries and letdowns.
Sounds like Djay Jones is out for next week and I’m not sure about Andrew Smith. I’m hoping he will be back fielding punts this week. What I saw of Andrew was a confident and fearless punt returner who was reminiscent of Kelly Rhino.
I don’t try to read too much into a game with a clearly overmatched opponent. The defense ruled again. Did anyone notice that Tech did not allow a first down in the entire second half?
My biggest concern is the obvious: kick coverage. We have got to get this shored up, and fast. We will lose games if this isn’t fixed. We gave Samford three points in the first half by letting them have good field position.
Best sign at the game: “I want my $$ back. I thought we were playing Stanford.”
Most intriguing score of the weekend: Notre Dame 41, Penn State 17. Now how good does the Tech D look?
