#27 – Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 7-5 SU; 4-7-1 ATS

Fargo’s Take - Georgia Tech has the potential to posses one of the best offenses in the ACC. There is one key word in that sentence and that is potential. Despite having some of the best playmakers on offense last season, the Yellow Jackets actually got worse on offense, averaging a mere 18.5 ppg, 103rd in the country. The success, or lack thereof, stems around the play of four-year starting quarterback Reggie Ball. After a stellar freshman campaign, Ball has been below average the last two years and he has one last chance to right the ship. The Yellow Jackets have been to a bowl game for nine straight seasons but the last few have been anything but marquee. They have won exactly seven games in each of the four years under head coach Chan Gailey and that likely isn’t going improve in 2006

Returning Starters on Offense – 8 Ball has completed less than 50 percent of his passes for two consecutive seasons and he has thrown more interceptions (30) than touchdowns (27) over that span. At this point, he needs to get better or he will be sitting on the sidelines. He has one of the best receivers in the country in junior Calvin Johnson but his next best target returns with just 14 catches. Until someone else steps up, Johnson will be double teamed on every play. The running game will be turned over to tailback Tashard Choice who has the ability for a breakout season. He will be running behind four returning starters on the offensive line but it is a line that is relatively small. They are quick, allowing only 10 sacks last season but being more physical will be the key. The Yellow Jackets scored 17 or fewer points in seven of their final nine games.

Returning Starters on Defense – 5 The defense kept Georgia Tech around in the majority of its games last season and it might be asked to do so again. Coming off a humiliating display against Utah in the Emerald Bowl, the defense will either carry that negative momentum into 2006 or rebound to try to prove otherwise. The best bet is on the latter as the Yellow Jackets return the bulk of its front seven from the unit that finished 22nd in total defense and 23rd in scoring defense. The rushing defense was the strength a season ago and that will be the case again this year. The secondary is likely going to struggle with just one starter coming back and another possible starter, Joe Gaston, lost for the season. Pat Clark, Georgia Tech’s second leading retuning receiver, has switched to the defensive backfield trying to give it some depth.

Schedule - The schedule is manageable but it doesn’t start out that way as Notre Dame comes calling on opening Saturday. Following that are three additional home contests but those three are all likely wins against Samford, Troy and Virginia. The first road contest of the season takes place at Virginia Tech followed by another home game, this one against Maryland. Four of the final six games are on the road, starting with Clemson and ending with Georgia, both sure losses. Sandwiched in-between those games are three winnable contests against NC State, North Carolina and Duke. The other game in that mix is a home game against revenge minded Miami (Florida). There looks to be seven wins on the slate, which is right on track from previous seasons.

You can bet on… It will be interesting to see how the season pans out for Ball. He has so much potential but the mistakes that he makes are inexcusable at times. The Yellow Jackets will go as far as he can take them and another season of sub-.500 completions likely means we will see highly touted freshman Jonathan Garner. This is a very inconsistent team and that shows with its 4-11 ATS run following a straight up victory. We should see that scenario pop up in games against Troy, Virginia and then Virginia Tech in the beginning of the year. Without an offensive punch, it’s difficult to cover when favored and that coincides with the Yellow Jackets current record of 11-19-1 against the number when laying points.
