Georgia Tech Reveals Its Depth Chart Ahead of Week Two Matchup With Gardner-Webb

While there are no changes to this week's depth chart, remember that things may play out much differently on the field than the official depth chart is released. Brent Key said that Rodney Shelley is still a week away from playing, but that defensive end A.J. Hoffler was back on the practice field.

Cutting down on turnovers is a priority

Georgia Tech turned the ball over three times on their first three possessions of the game and while they won the game, Key talked today about how protecting the ball is going to be a huge emphasis moving forward:

"Yeah, it doesn't matter what week it is, what practice it is. Ball security, we work ball security every single play of every day. I don't know if you could work more of it than we do, okay? And when you look at the serious events that happened, we had a bad snap that snapped over the head with the new center in there. Then, well, the first one I think was the ball exchange. And if you look at Haynes and Jamal, I mean, how many times have they done that over the course of the last three seasons? Thousands and thousands and thousands of times, right? And even watching the film, talking to those guys, it's one of those things. It was a little bit of an angle here, a little bit there.

You get into the first game. Things are obviously sped up a little bit. If you'd asked me to write down 100 things, I thought, you know, issues that can happen, and you're trying to think, you know, before first game, you know, things that could come up, that wouldn't have been in my top 500, it really wouldn't, but so the detail and the focus that takes place in practice, right? But we've also got to continue to work those things full speed, right? You can't have half speed.

You can't have, you know, You can't do half speed reps when you're practicing whether it's QB center exchange, whether it's QB running back exchange, whether it's 7 -on -7s, whatever it is. Someone said that is the first time a teams won after doing that since 2010, 16 seasons. So it's not something you want to make a habit of by any means. I, the percentages will win it as low as they possibly go when that takes place. We were very fortunate that our team kept the right frame of mind. After the third turnover, our defense goes out there and gets a three and out, great play by Cayman (Spaulding) on the far sideline. To get him to fourth and fourth and short and they ended up kicking and we were able to get in a little bit of a rhythm then."

Georgia Tech will face Gardner-Webb this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on ACC Network Extra.
