YOU are the biggest dud. What in this world gives you any credentials to write about athletics and especially football. Have you ever played college ball? Have you ever coached? YOU are a joke!

After reading an article from Kelly Quinlan at JacketsOnline, I think GA Tech at least has a reasonable excuse for losing so many games:
Georgia Tech's football team has been decimated by injuries and a few key suspensions this season and in the spring leading up to the 2015 season. Those injuries have accounted for 116 games lost from players in the Jackets two-deep including season ending injuries three offensive starters before game four and one defensive tackle last week. That number is more than double the games missed in 14 games last season and the number for this season will easily triple the 46 total games missed from the two-deep last season.
OFFENSE:
BB- Marcus Allen- 2
QB- Tim Byerly- 7+
AB- Nathan Cottrell- 9+
OG- Shamire Devine*-1
OT- Chris Griffin*- 9+
OT- Errin Joe*- 1
BB- C.J. Leggett*- 9+
BB- Marcus Marshall*- 1
AB- TaQuon Marshall -2.5
AB- Qua Searcy*- 6+
BB- Patrick Skov*- 1
AB- Broderick Snoddy* -4
WR- Mike Summers*- 2
WR- Brad Stewart .5
BB- Quaide Weimerskirch- 9+
* projected starter
+ out for the year
64 games lost to injuries thus far with six season ending injuries in the two-deep
DEFENSE:
CB- Lance Austin- 1
CB- Step Durham- 2
NT- Pat Gamble*- 2
DT- Adam Gotsis* 1+
FS- A.J. Gray- 1
SS- Corey Griffin- 1
LB- Beau Hankins- 7
DT- Jabari Hunt- 1 (will miss one more)
DT- Francis Kallon- 1
DB- John Marvin- 4
LB- Domonique Noble- 1
DE- Rod Rook-Chungong*- 1
FS- Demond Smith* -1
DE- Tyler Stargel -1
CB- D.J. White* -1
* projected starter
+ out for the year
52 games lost to injuries and suspensions thus far.
In comparison, in 2014 Tech lost way fewer players only 46 in 14 games compared to 116 in 9 games this year
One also has to take into account that GA Tech only has about four 4-Star recruits and zero 5-star recruits on its entire roster as compared to UGA's loaded roster and I think it's safe to say that the mere fact that the Yellow Jackets have only been out of one game they've lost (Clemson) in spite of this massive number of injuries and screwed up officiating (the ACC admitted the refs missed SIX calls in the UVA game, including a defensive pass interference against UVA in the end zone after GA Tech recovered an onside kick at the end of the game as they were driving for a go-ahead/winning TD).
