Defense, special teams regress in Tampa

After Tech’s week one shutout win over Alcorn State, Paul Johnson proclaimed his disappointment with the offense that had just scored 34 points.

“I just didn’t like the way we played, considering who we were playing,” he said. “We didn’t throw the ball well, we didn’t block well … there was too much pressure when we tried to throw.”

Imagine then, what Johnson must be feeling about his defense and special teams a week later. The two units combined to yield a ghastly 49 points to a South Florida team with brand new starters across the board, including journeyman quarterback and former top recruit Blake Barnett.
