Georgia Tech v Kansas

Georgia Tech completed only two passes in its season opener, but the 15th-ranked Yellow Jackets still cruised to a blowout victory behind their relentless running game. They may not need much offense to outscore Kansas. The Jayhawks posted their lowest point total in almost five years while losing Turner Gill's coaching debut, and their task won't get any easier Saturday as they host the reigning ACC champions. Georgia Tech (1-0) had the nation's second-ranked rushing offense en route to an Orange Bowl appearance last year, and the departure of leading rusher Jonathan Dwyer may not slow down coach Paul Johnson's triple-option attack. Senior quarterback Joshua Nesbitt went 1 for 6 for eight yards and an interception Saturday against South Carolina State, but he also ran for 130 yards and three touchdowns on 16 carries in the Yellow Jackets' 41-10 win. The coach wasn't thrilled with his defense, which Johnson said had "a ton of missed assignments" in allowing 178 rushing yards to its Championship Subdivision opponent. It was Georgia Tech's first game with a new 3-4 scheme under defensive coordinator Al Groh. "We would have liked to have played better," Groh said. "We were disappointed with the long runs." Facing Kansas (0-1) may represent a prime opportunity to bounce back. A first-quarter field goal by Jacob Branstetter was all the offense the Jayhawks could muster during Saturday's 6-3 loss to FCS foe North Dakota. It was the first time Kansas failed to score at least seven points since a 19-3 loss to Oklahoma on Oct. 15, 2005. "It's one game and that's how you have to take it and move on from there," said Gill, the former Buffalo coach who was hired Dec. 13. "From an offensive standpoint, we just have to get those things collected and execute better." Kansas also had to replace quarterback Todd Reesing, who totaled 10,990 passing yards and 87 touchdowns in three years as starter. Sophomore Kale Pick started Saturday, but he was replaced by freshman Jordan Webb after going 13 of 22 with an interception. It's unclear which player will start against Georgia Tech.
