Quick Note:
Sorry for the delay between games!!! My roster files were deleted, so I've been replugging in all of these rosters. This was long, tedious work (especially while doing law school), so it took a while. But now, the games should be back at a more consistent pace!
Recap:
The Crimson Tide asserted their dominance in this game, especially during the second quarter when they blew the score wide open. The Yellow Jackets held the ball early, keeping Alabama from touching the ball on offense until less than 4 minutes remained in the second quarter. Unfortunately, they trailed 7-3 when they kicked off to Alabama thanks to a devastating 91 yard INT TD by CB Menzie to end G. Tech's first drive. The Tech secondary could not stop the Alabama wide receivers, who shredded Tech deep (27.7 yards per catch, 4 TD) and a 28-3 halftime score turned into 35-3 after the Tide scored in 5 plays to start the second half. Good start for the division favorites.
