Georgia Tech lost:
- Jonathan Dwyer- The best GT running back since at least Dorsey Levins. His replacement looks to be Anthony Allen...the only obviously projectable NFL player I can find on their roster.
- Derrick Morgan - The best GT defensive lineman since Marco Coleman. He accounted for 12 of Tech's 25 sacks last season.
- Demaryious Thomas - The most physical and most ideally suited receiver for this offense imaginable. He accounted for over 65% of the team's total receiving yards, and 59% of the catches. When it was third and long, he was Tech's get out of jail free card. Well...except for Thanksgiving Weekend with the game on the line.
- Morgan Burnett - Tech's #2 leading tackler leaves with 14 career interceptions. He's arguably their best defensive back since Ken Swilling. Although, that's not saying much. Tech's defensive backfield the past 10 years hasn't set the world on fire.
Don't get me wrong...Josh Nesbitt is an exceptional college QB for what Tech wants to run. But how much more can they squeeze out of Nesibtt? Last year, he ran for over 1,000 yards and 18 TDs. Does anyone seriously think he's going to emerge as a legitimate passing threat at this point in his career?
New defensive coordinator or not...I struggle to see how they have the talent to stop people.

You could say the same thing about Georgia's sorry ass defense.
Don't you mean the best DB since Kelly Rhino?
Hey, no worries, right?
Techies tell us all the time that this team will hum when PJ gets "his" recruits in here. So, no biggie losing all these Gailey leftovers.
You mean that sorry as defense that shut Tech's "unstoppable offense" down?
We lose Reshad and Rennie, and three great DT's.
Insert Rambo (arguably the best Safety on the team) and another guy(who will by default be better than B. Evans) and we are fine in the secondary.
Dowtin returns and was second or third on the team in tackles at LB...
And insert Abry Jones, D. Tyson, Garrison Smith, Geathers at DT.
We've got the potential. We just need a coach.
Allowing 24 points and not forcing a punt is considered "shut down"?
Damn, Willie M. lowered expectations over there worse than I thought.
How did Tech's defense do that day?
We run this state
