Georgia Tech
Quarterback Haynes King: ‘The job’s not done yet.’
Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King says the Yellow Jackets are happy to be 6-0 for the first time since 2011, but ‘the job’s not done yet’. (Daniel Varnado/AJC)
It may happen eventually. On a coming Saturday, Georgia Tech could well stumble. The Yellow Jackets might even lose Saturday at Duke and tarnish their unblemished record.
But it didn’t happen on this glorious Saturday afternoon, when the Jackets emerged from their open date and knocked around Virginia Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium in what probably was their best game to date.
