Vanderbilt points out weaknesses in Georgia Tech D

The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Georgia Tech keeps proving that offense isn't a problem with coach Paul Johnson's spread option.

The Yellow Jackets need to show they can be a little defensive as well.

They rolled up a season-high 597 yards offense in a 56-31 victory over Vanderbilt on Saturday night that moved them up to No. 10 in the AP poll Sunday. But they also allowed a team that hadn't scored more than 10 points in any game against a Southeastern Conference opponent to light up the scoreboard and finish with 397 yards offense.

Johnson says he's disappointed in how his Yellow Jackets started, missing tackles in the first half that allowed Vanderbilt to hit a bunch of big plays.

Up next for Georgia Tech (8-1) is a visit from Wake Forest.
