ACC Overview

With the media focus for the ACC centered on the nightmarish situation with Florida State, we at Sunday Morning Quarterbacks want to keep our eyes centered on the on-field action. FSU’s most recent opponent, Georgia Tech, has enjoyed a mini resurgence after losing to Miami in September. The Yellow Jackets have won three straight including the past two on the road. In the wins at Mississippi State and Florida State, Tech has scored a combined 91 pts. QB Josh Nesbitt escalated his play, completing 11-14 passes for 266y and a TD against the Bulldogs and then throwing for 131y and a TD while rushing for 140y and 3 TDs against the Seminoles. Nesbitt has to somehow maintain a high level of play despite the huge jump in D talent he will encounter this Saturday against Virginia Tech. What does bode well for Georgia Tech is that the Hokies have done their impressive work this season in Blacksburg. They have only played two games so far away from home, losing easily to Alabama on a neutral field to open the season and then playing poorly at Duke on October 3rd. The Hokies only won one of four conference road games last season and need to prove that they can handle a hostile environment for what should be their toughest road game remaining.
