For those of us hoping for a new and improved approach for the Bowl game, you can pretty well forget about that.
I just read that Bilbo has a hairline fracture in his foot. Those kind of injuries do not heal quickly, so in essence Bilbo has been removed from the equation for the Bowl game.
This means Suggs and Jonathon Smith are the only 2 options available. Seeing how CCG has put his money on Suggs, you can expect he will be the starter and play most of the reps. Our depleted running corps, forces us to throw the ball and I can assure you our opponent will focus on pressure with 4 and cover with 7.
The defense will be tested just from a time of possession standpoint and if they fold their tent like they did in Athens, we will be in for another ugly, embarassing episode.
I would like to think the pride and great tradition of Georgia Tech in Bowl games would rally us to a high level of motivation and effort, but realistically, if we show no more fire than we did against our arch rival, it will be a long, humiliating day.
I am an optimist at heart and will continue to hope we will find a way to rise up and do something to honor the great tradiiton of Georgia Tech football. After the last 2 displays by this team, I am left to expect the worse.
Go Jackets!
