He is one of 10 true freshmen that have played for the Yellow Jackets this season.

Oliver, a redshirt senior, played at Lithia Springs before signing with Georgia Tech.
“I can’t really pinpoint why that is”, Georgia sixth-year guard Kolton Houston said. “We fought our way back and had an opportunity to win at the end”.
“Anytime you lose the turnover battle like we have the last 2-3 games you are going to lose”, Johnson said.
In 2000, Georgia people would have killed for a 13-7 win like we saw on Saturday. The second attempt failed on a 4th-and 1 at the Tech 12 as senior FB Quayvon Hicks was stopped for no gain.
“A microcosm of our season”, Johnson moaned. The team picked up its third straight loss after falling to Miami, 21-28, last Saturday. This week he suggested injuries and bad luck were too much to overcome.
“It’s kind of been like a dyke”, he said.
The Yellow Jackets outrebounded Arkansas 50-26, which helped Georgia Tech outscore the Razorbacks 26-5 in second-chance points. The strategy proved effective, with Smith contributing 19 points and Jorgenson adding 4 assists to Tech’s team total of 15. The offense made big plays in key situations, and the defense was more than prepared for the triple-option of Georgia Tech.
Clearly, the emotions are fully restored in the rivalry known for “Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate”. “When we hurt, they hurt”.
“Georgia Football Highlights (2015)” is categorized as “sports”. He practiced on Wednesday and is expected to play.
Kaaya joins Paxton Lynch (Memphis) and Dak Prescott (Mississippi State) as the only quarterbacks in FBS – and the lone sophomore – to throw for at least 2,500 yards and 14 TDs and for fewer than five interceptions. Georgia came in to today’s game 4-for-9 (44%) on 4th downs while opponents were 8-for-17 (47%) against the Bulldogs.
“Chuck has always been a great offensive rebounder because he just goes”, Gregory said. I don’t know. We just try to line up and play ball and try to win the darn game no matter where we’re at. Tech could not move the ball on offense, and it still did not shut down the Georgia offense. Richt said the offenses “are very different” but still provided his defense a chance to practice “the fundamentals of assignment football”. Virginia Tech Hokies rank at 62 for 159.3 road rushing yards where as Virginia Cavaliers rank at 80 for allowing 163.0 rushing yards at home.
STAFF REVIEW: Asked if he plans any staff changes, Johnson said he’ll review his assistants following the season.
“Coach Richt will probably live out his contract and whatever happens after that is up to the program and coach Richt”, Jenkins said. “Yeah. I’m ultimately accountable and everybody is accountable for their position”.
