There are two position groupings on a football team that far-and-away benefit from more time and reps of playing together — the offensive line, and the secondary.
In that sense, even before we consider the time it takes to acquire the right body types and develop them in the strength and conditioning program, it’s understandable that Georgia Tech’s offensive line is still far from a finished product in Year 3 under Geoff Collins.
What’s less understandable is when a group like Georgia Tech’s secondary, which has seen incredible continuity throughout the Collins era and is arguably its single most talented position group on the roster, seemingly has gotten worse year-over-year.
