Who will be the starting quarterback? Will the defense live up to defensive coordinator Al Groh’s standards? Do the Yellow Jackets have what it takes to get back in ACC Championship contention?

Heading into the 2011 football season, there is no shortage of questions surrounding coach Paul Johnson’s talented but young Georgia Tech squad. After successful campaigns in his inaugural season and in 2009, Johnson fell back to a 6-7 record during an injury-plagued 2010 season.

When it comes to the goings-on of the gridiron, we here at the Alumni Magazine don’t have answers to all your questions. The quarterback could be junior Tevin Washington, unless it’s redshirt freshman Synjyn Days. The defense looked stout in the T-Day spring game, and Johnson’s offense always promises to be high-octane.

While we might not be able to shed that much light on the state of the team, we can offer plenty of guidance when it comes to enjoying the upcoming football season. For those looking to experience the season as fans, we have answers. Whatever questions you have about the game-watching experience, we have your answers. Just don’t ask us to predict Tech’s final record. As the saying goes, that’s why they play the game.
