After unpacking reasons for optimism at the quarterback position yesterday, let’s turn our attention to the other side of the ball as we continue pursuing why 2021 will be different than the past two seasons.
In our offseason review, we highlighted some of the causes of the disappointing year that the Georgia Tech defense had in 2020. The defense wasn’t horrible, but it didn’t live up to its potential. The secondary in particular really struggled compared to some of the individual performances of 2019. Explosive passes killed GT last year. Lack of pressure, coverage busts, and missed tackles created an unfortunate cocktail of failure.
