The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets dropped their opener against the Northern Illinois Huskies 22-21. The Huskies finished the 2020 season a miserable 0-6 but transfer quarterback Rocky Lombardi gave NIU new life in Week One.
Geoff Collins’ team looked sluggish and underwhelming, much like in 2019 and 2020. The Jackets have started the Collins Era 1-2 in opening games, and are now 1-4 against sub-Power 5 teams.
I do believe that even if Tech only wins two or three games, Coach Collins will be back for 2022. It’s just a matter of whether or not his coaching staff will remain in tact in order to save his own hide is the question.
