Tech set to take on Notre Dame

When Georgia Tech wants to do something with the football, odds are No. 1 is involved. Run it? Gibbs has rushed for a team-high 687 yards and four touchdowns on 129 carries. So, there’s that.

Throw it? The 5-foot-11, 200-pound sophomore from Dalton, Georgia has caught 35 passes for 474 yards and two scores. Return it after the other team scores? Yep, Gibbs is that guy there as well. He’s run back 20 kicks for 519 yards and one score, that a 98-yarder in Saturday’s 41-30 loss to Boston College, where he finished with 224 allpurpose yards.

Gibbs is tied for the team lead with seven touchdowns and leads the Ramblin’ Wreck with 1,680 all-purpose yards. An honorable mention All-Atlantic Coast Conference pick last season as a true freshman, Gibbs had 14 carries for 61 yards and caught five passes for 49 yards in the Halloween home loss to Notre Dame. Do anything? Do everything? That’s Gibbs. On Monday, Brian Kelly opined that Gibbs should be player of the year in the Atlantic Coast Conference. He’s that good.
