Option Strategy Report: Pittsburgh

I’ll be the first to admit that Georgia Tech’s poor offensive showing this past Saturday against Pittsburgh caught me off guard. Just last week, I praised our offensive firepower and called for confidence in quarterback TaQuon Marshall. Needless to say, my feelings have changed after Tech’s 24-19 loss to Pittsburgh. After averaging 573 yards total yards over the first two games, the Jackets mustered just 287 yards of offense through the first 56 minutes against Pitt. While they did manage to put together a 99-yard drive against a Prevent defense in the game’s waning minutes, the reality is that the offensive firepower we saw in Weeks 1 & 2 were completely missing on Saturday.
