Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 2009 College Football Predictions, Picks & Odds: It did not take long to figure out what would happen if Coach Paul Johnson ran his option offense at a school with better athletes than Navy. Georgia Tech shocked the ACC by winning nine games on the season. That is very, very impressive for a team learning a completely new offense and, in theory, it should only get better. Odds makers at Sportsbook.com have the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 75-1 odds to win the BSC 2010 National Championship.
The Yellow Jackets ended the season ranked fourth in the nation in rushing offense. Jonathan Dwyer and Roddy Jones form a superb duo in the backfield and it is nearly impossible to stop both of them. Even junior Lucas Cox is a threat to break a long run. But just about anybody who touches the ball is a threat to run for a long time in Georgia Tech’s offense. The team averaged over 5.5 yards per carry and what makes that even more impressive is the fact that everybody knows that they are going to run. Quarterback Josh Nesbitt had some trouble running the option at times, but he is not a bad rusher. But if he makes poor decisions, Jaybo Shaw will see plenty of playing time. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets college football odds are a conservative pick to go OVER 8 wins at Sportsbook.com!
The Yellow Jackets return eight players to their defense. The strength of the Ramblin’ Wreck’s defense was the front line and now that advantage is almost completely gone. Derrick Morgan tallied seven sacks last year, but will he be as effective without the opposition worrying about Johnson on the other side? He probably will not unless somebody else can step up and at least be a threat to get into the backfield. Sportsbook.com’s college football predictions have Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at +500 to win the ACC conference.
Blair will likely handle punting, placements and kickoffs for a second year in a row, but coaches will want to see him challenged. Tarrant figures to take over the return duties. Jones will team with him on kickoffs.
