Georgia Tech defensive coordinator Andrew Thacker didn’t mince words this week when discussing Clemson’s opening game loss to Georgia, telling the media that Clemson was “absolutely overwhelmed” by the Bulldog defense.
The Yellow Jackets (1-1) travel to Clemson (1-1) Saturday for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff (ABC) against the No. 6 Tigers. Thacker, a Georgia native and the Jackets’ third-year coordinator, didn’t hesitate to say what he saw on film between Clemson and Georgia in week one.
“The team up the road (Georgia) absolutely overwhelmed them with personnel and body types and pass rush. Any time you affect the quarterback in that way going into a game, that's what they did,” Thacker said.
