Virginia Tech's Brent Pry Talks Georgia Tech Ahead of Matchup on Saturday

Virginia Tech head coach Brent Pry discussed the Yellow Jackets

Georgia Tech is just a few days away from taking on Virginia Tech in Lane Stadium and the Yellow Jackets are hoping to get their fourth win of the season. 

Virginia Tech has not had the season that they had hoped to have under first-year head coach Brent Pry. The Hokies are currently 2-6 and in the midst of a five-game losing streak and they see an opportunity to snap that losing streak this week against the Yellow Jackets.

Pry was asked this week about his impressions of Georgia Tech and how they have changed since Brent Key took over as the interim coach and here is what he had to say:

"They are not making as many mistakes. They were shooting themselves in the foot, had several kicks blocked, and they have kind of settled down and they have simplified things. I think they have good athleticism on both sides of the ball. I think the quarterback if he is healthy, he is tough to defend. He is fast, throws the ball well enough and he is tough. I think they have a good group. They are a little young on the offensive line, a little inexperienced, but on the perimeter, I think they are a good football team."

"They are playing a good brand of defense, I know what Geoff (Collins) is about defensively and the guys underneath him, I know that defensive staff pretty good and I think they are good coaches and it is reflected in how they are playing right now. I expect the group to come in and compete. It is important to Brent, to the head coach, it is his alma mater, this place means a lot to him and I think he is going to get the best out of that group from what we are seeing."

Georgia Tech is going to be challenged by Virginia Tech's defense, which has been a bright spot at times. With quarterback, Jeff Sims, expected back this week, the Yellow Jackets are hoping he can give them a boost on offense and help the running game. 

Georgia Tech vs Virginia Tech is slated for a 12:30 kickoff on Saturday.
