Good news broke yesterday when it was announced that backup quarterback Tim Byerly, who sustained a previously undiagnosed leg injury during practice, will not miss significant time this season. Byerly, the main backup for Justin Thomas and a valuable goal-line asset for Tech, will be back no earlier than the Notre Dame game in two weeks but should not miss substantial time beyond that. In the meantime, A-Back Matthew Jordan has converted back to quarterback and will hold down the fort while Byerly fully heals. He could see some playing time at quarterback this week against Tulane if things get out of hand early -- it would be his first collegiate action as a signal caller.
