Stat shown during Minnesota's first drive - 58 of the 112 roster members are freshmen.

That's wild.

And I believe this is D.A. Baxter's final game, too.

Game could get out of hand in a few minutes. Minnesota is up 10-0 with the ball for a third time after Georgia Tech has gone three-and-out two straight drives and only has 3 yards. Punter shanked the second punt, so Minnesota has the ball at the GT 35.

Just flipped by and saw the Ga Tech punter get off a booming 18 yarder. Their punter is about two biscuits away from being a defensive lineman.

I thought Tech would want to put up a better fight for Johnson's last game. I guess not.

Well on Jimbos way out the door the team quit. This is why I'm on the fence on Saban announcing his retirement. On one hand it would not be nice to the players to keep then in the dark. On the other hand, look at how players quit.

Yeah. On GT's l;ast offensive play (4th and 1), the fumble for a loss. Futility. Hard to earn a first down if you fumble the ball away.

I feel horrible for GT, but this game was pretty indicative of so many for Coach Paul Johnson. It's definitely time for some new blood at Tech.

Saw the interview with the new coach on the sidelines. He looked giddy - I believe because he saw the ineptness that is GT's "offensive" strategy and believes it won't be hard to improve.
