QB Justin Thomas

It's always been said that when coach Paul Johnson gets a great quarterback to run his triple option system the results are magnificent. Guess what, Justin Thomas is that guy. And the 2013 results saw these Yellow Jackets post an impressive 10-2 regular season and a birth in the ACC Championship Game. Two huge problems exist though. Five of the top six running backs were seniors. Days, Laskey, Zenon, Hill and Perkins are no longer available. The second problem is on the defensive side where good offenses have easily exploited this glaring weakness making it impossible to outscore the opponent at times. The ACC Coastal division has a reputation for being a complete roller coaster. Seemingly for now, Georgia Tech is in a position to provide some consistency at the top where six loss teams competing for the division title aren't the norm. Especially with Thomas behind center.
