Opinion Week: Jordan Yates Should Be Starting Games This Year

Jordan Yates should probably not start the first game of next year. Opening your career as a true freshman against Clemson with an iffy offensive line is a recipe for disaster and could stunt his growth by being a bloodbath. However, once the season schedule and season settles in a little bit, Jordan Yates should be the one starting games.

The first reason is pretty simple. Georgia Tech does not have any current quarterbacks who seem like they’d be able to play this system after just one offseason. Tobias Oliver who has returning quarterback experience really struggled to throw the ball and only excelled with a limited flexbone system.
