I had high hopes that Georgia Tech’s offense would take the leap in 2021. Jeff Sims had a full year of experience and development under his belt. The offensive line made more sense on paper. Jahmyr Gibbs was an obvious threat to score at any time. Kyric McGowan looked like he could separate differently than the rest of the receiving corps. Patenaude had his quarterback and should have had a good idea how to best deploy him.
I wasn’t expecting Oklahoma, but average seemed well within our grasp. During this same offseason series last year, we provided 4 ways for the GT offense to cement some gains in 2021: “eliminate offensive line weak links, find a go to receiver, improve quarterback play, and call more first down passes.
