If ever there was a date for a week off, this is it.
Georgia Tech will finally have some down time as it looks to reset its season before it enters the next harrowing stretch of games in October. A season that started with such great promise has turned iffy after back-to-back ACC losses has the Yellow Jackets at 3-2 overall and 1-2 in league play.
Thus, taking some extra time to reassess what has gone wrong through five games and what the Jackets can do to build on what has gone right is more than necessary.
“Oh yeah, really good,” Tech quarterback Haynes King said of the timing of the bye week. “With what we’ve been through, that little gauntlet from the beginning — get some people back healthy, feeling right, bodies resting up, that’s gonna be a big win. With all the details that we’ve been going through as well, it’s gonna be big this week.”
Tech, arguably, is a few plays away from being undefeated through five games. It’s also a few plays away from being 2-3. The Jackets’ inability to be consistent from game to game continues to be a struggle. Their inconsistency from series to series and play to play cost them Saturday in a 31-19 loss at Louisville.
