Respected CFB writer Tony Barnhart shares his impressions on GT:
2. Michael Johnson’s not blowing smoke: Young Johnson said that the only team that could beat Georgia Tech is Georgia Tech. It sounds like bulletin board material but let’s look at that. Georgia Tech beat a very sound Duke team 27-0 on Saturday . Trust me when I tell you that the game was not that close. Georgia Tech dominated the game in the first half and had only three points to show for it. But the Georgia Tech offense is just relentless. It just wears out opponents both physically and mentally. And Coach Paul Johnson showed yet again on Saturday that he will do whatever it takes to win. You want to put eight guys up there to stop the option? He’ll use a true freshman quarterback (Jaybo Shaw) to throw nine passes to Bay-Bay Thomas. But Georgia Tech has a chance to win every game it plays because Johnson has never had a defense this good to back up his offense.
Also, Boston Globe writer Mark Bladschun says Georgia Tech has a shot at winning the ACC
"Then there is Georgia Tech, with first-year coach Paul Johnson, sitting at 4-1 in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year. The Yellow Jackets knocked off Duke, which already has won three games this season, 27-0 Saturday."
