Georgia Tech’s freshman class may have been at its best late in the first quarter.
On his first career carry, first-year freshman B-back Marcus Marshall took a handoff from quarterback Justin Thomas and shot through the line, made a high-speed shift to turn around an Alcorn State defensive back and raced into the south end zone for a 49-yard touchdown.
Sharing the field with him were left tackle Will Bryan, who helped quell the Braves defensive front, and A-back TaQuon Marshall, whose motion away from the ball helped spread the Alcorn State defense. Both are also first-year freshmen.
