Tech works on ‘Run ‘n’ Shoot’ before bowl game

Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson plans to use some of the extra practice time before the New Year’s Eve Chick-fil-A Bowl to work on the passing game, specifically Run ‘n’ Shoot elements.

“There’s a lot of areas of the offense we’re not very adept at running,” he said Monday. “We’ve got to improve in the passing game some … I’m talking about every facet, from routes to coverages to protection to hot receivers, the whole nine yards.

“We’re still not where we want to be on the option part,” he added, “but I think we’re a little ahead there of where we are with the other thing.”
