“Let’s not quibble. (Let’s leave that for Paul Johnson, and even he’d strain to carp over this one.) Georgia Tech looked great Thursday night, and it wasn’t just great-by-comparison. The Yellow Jackets were energized and forceful and swift and strong and … well, pretty much everything you’d ever want a football team to be.
Tech beat Alcorn State, the reigning SWAC champ and the preseason choice to win its division again, in a way the best FBS team shouldn’t beat the worst FCS entry.”
