2010 College Football Picks Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets: In his second season in charge of Georgia Tech, Head Coach Paul Johnson continued to confuse opposing defensive coordinators with his triple option offense. The 2010 College Football Picks Experts at internet sportsbook SBGGLOBAL.com have the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets listed at +5500 odds to win the 2011 BCS National Championship Title Game.
Johnson won his second consecutive ACC Coach of the Year award and lead the Yellow Jackets to their first BCS bowl game in school history, eventually losing to Iowa in the FedEx Orange Bowl. Johnson is now 20-7 in his first two years and continues to win the same way he did at Navy. Going in to this season, Johnson must now replace two first round NFL Draft picks, Demaryius Thomas and Derrick Morgan, as well as one of the bigger pieces of his triple option attack, running back Jonathan Dwyer. Having quarterback Josh Nesbit and two powerful and fast running backs in Anthony Allen and Roddy Jones on the roster again should make the losses easier to handle. The 2010 College Football Picks Experts at internet sportsbook SBGGLOBAL.com have the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets listed at +900 odds to win the ACC.
Georgia Tech rushed the ball 792 times last season (third highest total in the country) but only passed the ball on 168 plays (fourth lowest total in the country). Only the service academies Army, Navy and Air Force threw the ball less. The 2010 College Football Picks Experts at internet sportsbook SBGGLOBAL.com have the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets +105 odds to win OVER 8 games during this season.
If Georgia Tech can run the ball with the same consistency as last season they should be able to challenge for another ACC title. However, Josh Nesbitt will have to get more production from his receivers if this is to happen. When opponents can key on the run without fear, the Yellow Jackets tend to struggle. Iowa held Georgia Tech to 155 total yards in the Orange Bowl and Nesbitt completed only two passes in the loss. Georgia Tech also does not have the luxury of last season's schedule. They go ion the road to face Kansas, Clemson, Virginia Tech and Georgia but they do get to face Miami at home. Another BCS trip should by no means be penciled in, but with the success that Paul Johnson has had with his offense in the ACC, it should not be written off either.
