Brad Kaaya vs. Georgia Tech

Teams have been wanting to see Brad Kaaya show greater consistency and explosiveness within the passing game this season. They know he’s smart and can run an efficient offense from inside the pocket. What they want to know is can he elevate the players around him to attack opposing defenses. That will go a long way towards determining whether or not he’s going to be a top 10 pick or a borderline 1st round pick.

His game against Georgia Tech won’t do much for him, good or bad. It was a rather bland day for him. He finished 13-of-19 for 241 yards and a touchdown. An efficient performance in another easy win for the Hurricanes. The fact is Kaaya really hasn’t been tested yet. Most of his opponents haven’t had the manpower to make it tough for his team, let alone him. That should change come next week when the anticipated rivalry matchup with Florida State come down.
