The full read on the Jackets

Written Sat Oct 31, before the Panthers game.

Season so far

Georgia Tech is 1-5, with a 1-3 home record and a 0-2 road record. The Yellow Jackets have one win, a 28-25 result against Duke, and their latest game was a 27-49 loss to Boston College. They have also lost to Colorado, Tennessee, Stanford and Virginia Tech.

The read

Georgia Tech goes to Pittsburgh at 1-5, with a 1-3 home record and an 0-2 road record. The 27-49 loss to Boston College followed the 24-34 defeat at Virginia Tech. The home win over Duke remains the positive result in the supplied season record, but Tech has not followed it with another victory.

The latest loss exposed problems after halftime and against the run. Tech held a halftime lead, then allowed Boston College to finish with 399 rushing yards and 500 total yards. Brent Key has changed the halftime process and said defensive responsibilities would be adjusted. He has not announced a dismissal of defensive coordinator Jason Semore.

Alberto Mendoza remains atop the quarterback chart. Jordan Allen, Dalen Penson and Kevin Roche Jr. have been regular receiving targets. Allen enters tonight with 42 catches for 517 yards. Josh Petty is now listed first at left tackle after returning against Boston College, although his workload is still being monitored as his conditioning improves.

Availability remains a major part of Tech's preparation. Kevin Peay Jr., Ethan Mackenny and Markell Samuel are out, while Courtney Heard is questionable. Kyle Efford and Savion Riley are also out. The published depth chart still includes unavailable players, so this is a projection rather than a confirmed lineup. Pittsburgh is 5-3 and will again be without quarterback Mason Heintschel.
