College Football Predictions Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets ACC Preview 2008: Last season the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets finished with a 7-6 (4-4) record, including a 28-40 loss to Fresno State in the Humanitarian Bowl. At BetUS.com the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets’ betting odds to win the BCS National Championship game are +10000.

After leaving Navy, (first year) head coach, Paul Johnson (107-39 overall) will try his luck in the ACC with sort of a diminished, unproven team. Nevertheless, there are some bright spots for Georgia Tech fans, especially on the defensive side of the ball. 

This upcoming season, Georgia Tech will have some holes to fill in the offense: QB Taylor Bennett, RB Tashard Choice, FB Mike Cox, and WR James Johnson.

However, the key to Georgia Tech last season was their first ranked (sacks) defense. At BetUS.com the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets’ betting odds to win the ACC in 2008 are +1200.

Even though most of the players that made the Yellow Jackets’ “D” great are gone, two key pieces remain intact for next season: DTs Vance Walker and Darryl Richard; together they combines for 13 sacks (Walker: 8.5 and Richard: 4.5).

A big question mark for Georgia Tech this season will be at the QB position. The two guys fighting for the starting QB job are Josh Nesbitt and Calvin Booker. It appears as though for the first few games, Josh Nesbitt, will be the starting QB after beating Booker for the job during the spring.
