2010 College Football Predictions Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets: The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets finished the 2009 season going 11-3 overall and 8-1 in the ACC earning them the ACC Championship Title and a trip to the Orange Bowl which they lost to Iowa 24-14. The 2010 College Football Predictions Experts at SBGGLOBAL.com have the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets listed at +900 odds to win the ACC.
Key returning starters include Quarterback Josh Nesbitt, Running Back Anthony Allen, Center Sean Bedford, Linebacker Steven Sylvester and Cornerback Jerrard Tarrant. The 2010 College Football Predictions Experts at SBGGLOBAL.com have listed Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Josh Nesbitt +4750 odds to win the Heisman Trophy.
PROS: Josh Nesbitt threw for over 1,700 yards and ran for another 1,000 in his junior year and should be much improved with another year in Paul Johnson's system. The running back stable is back with the exception of Dwyer and they have the ability to improve on last year's numbers where they finished as the second ranked rushing team in the country. Seven offensive starters return to give the ACC's number one scoring and overall offense a head start as they look to win their second ACC title in as many years. The 2010 College Football Predictions Experts at SBGGLOBAL.com have the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets +105 odds to win OVER 8 games during this season.
CONS: Losing Demaryius Thomas is a big hit. Thomas was the only Georgia Tech wide receiver with double digit catches. His 46 catches were more than the rest of the team combined and of the 1,774 total receiving yards 1,154 belonged to Thomas. For the Yellow Jackets to have the same kind of success they had last year, the receiving corps will have to step up and a new leader needs to emerge. Georgia Tech also were the victim to defensive lapses last season. Now that Derrick Morgan has moved on to the NFL, new defensive coordinator Al Groh (previous head coach from Virginia) will have the task of improving a defense that gave up 27 points to 8 different opponents. The Yellow Jackets do return 8 defensive starters so the base line is laid for Groh to succeed. The 2010 College Football Predictions Experts at SBGGLOBAL.com have the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets listed at +5500 odds to win the 2011 BCS National Championship Title Game.
