Georgia Tech went 3-0 vs. the SEC East, and Paul Johnson knows Tennessee’s next

Georgia Tech beat Kentucky in the TaxSlayer Bowl on Saturday afternoon, giving the Yellow Jackets a 9-4 record for 2016. After the 33-18 victory over the Wildcats, GT head coach Paul Johnson made a hilarious and true statement about how his team has fared against SEC East opponents.

Georgia Tech will face Tennessee to open the 2017 season in Atlanta. The other two wins over SEC East opponents for Georgia Tech include Georgia, who they beat 28-27 to close out the regular season, and Vanderbilt. The Yellow Jackets beat Vandy earlier in the season, 38-7.

So yeah, Georgia Tech has a chance to go 4-0 against SEC East teams, if it can beat Tennessee next season. The East division has been down for several years now, and this latest stat, along with a 4-5 record in bowl season for the SEC thus far doesn’t help.
