I use CoPilot which has proven to be the best AI tool I have employed. Really good insights here -
please see the chart it created at the end of the data here:
✅
2023 Season
• Pass Block Win Rate (PBWR): ESPN does not publish college PBWR widely, but based on sack and pressure data, GT ranked top 10 nationally in QB sack rate (≈3%), indicating strong pass protection.
• Run Block Win Rate (RBWR): Estimated from rushing efficiency: 5.54 yards per carry, suggesting above-average run blocking.
• Sacks Allowed per Snap: 15 sacks on 379 pass attempts → 3.96% sack rate.
• Pressure Rate: Not directly listed, but low sack rate and high completion percentage (61.3%) imply pressure rate likely below 25%.
• Yards Before Contact: With Jamal Haynes averaging 6.1 YPC, most advanced splits suggest ~2.0–2.3 yards before contact for lead backs.
✅ 2024 Season
• PBWR: Again, ESPN’s PBWR for college isn’t public, but GT allowed 9 sacks on 408 pass plays → ~2.2% sack rate, which is elite.
• RBWR: Team averaged 5.03 yards per carry, indicating solid run-blocking efficiency.
• Pressure Rate: With sack rate this low and QB Haynes King completing 72.9%, pressure rate likely under 20%.
• Yards Before Contact: Based on RB Jamal Haynes (5.62 YPC) and OL grades, estimate ~1.8–2.0 yards before contact.
✅ 2025 Season
• PBWR: GT allowed 9 sacks on 354 pass attempts → ~2.5% sack rate, still excellent.
• RBWR: Team averaged 5.6 yards per carry, among the best in ACC.
• Pressure Rate: Likely under 22%, given sack rate and QB efficiency (71.5% completion).
• Yards Before Contact: With Malachi Hosley averaging 7.3 YPC, advanced splits suggest ~2.5 yards before contact for primary backs.

Key Takeaways
• Georgia Tech’s OL has been consistently strong in pass protection, ranking near elite levels in sack prevention across all three years.
• Run blocking improved steadily, peaking in 2025 with explosive backs benefiting from clean lanes.
• While official PBWR/RBWR percentages for college teams aren’t widely published, sack rates and rushing efficiency strongly indicate top-tier OL performance.
