Georgia Tech dropped its second consecutive game after falling to Virginia Tech 21-6. It was a mixed performance that saw some encouraging signs for the team as
a whole and only some concerning things the team will have to address if they want to make a bowl game. Here are some key takeaways.Simply put the offense has struggled over the last few weeks. The Yellow Jackets have scored just 19 points in the last two games. The running game hasn’t been to the level we expected and have been accustomed to seeing. Only 90 yards on the ground came from the running backs on a unit that struggled to muster big plays against the Hokies.
QB Aaron Philo- Now he was a little bit inaccurate in the game but Philo was put in a tough spot as a true freshman on the road in Blacksburg. He threw a beauty to Eric Singleton Jr with two defenders in the area hitting him in stride. The interception wasn’t really his fault because it hit Avery Boyd in the hands but he couldn’t quite corral it and Virginia Tech made a play on the ball.
This is what Aaron Philo gives you. Yes the true freshman wasn’t accurate on some throws today but he’s showed he’s more than capable of making big throws down the field. IMO should be QB2 moving forwardRB Anthony Carrie- For a large part the running game struggled for the Yellow Jackets, but Carrie provided a nice burst when he was in the game.
WR Isaiah Canion- finished with two catches and 29 yards and made some plays when he got the ball in his hands. Canion and Philo were building quite a rapport with each other on Saturday as he constantly looked his way. Canion proved he can be a dependable target and that he has a bright future going forward for the Yellow Jackets.Now, I did call out the offense in my first takeaway but that doesn’t all fall on Key.
In my opinion, Georgia Tech is not far off from being a great team. It's the little things they have to clean up and they can be in the running for an ACC title before you know it.Najeh Wilkins covers football and basketball for Georgia Tech Athletics at FanNation.
