Ball, Scott Ruled Ineligible for Bowl
Georgia Tech QB Reggie Ball and CB Kenny Scott have been ruled academically ineligible for the upcoming Gator Bowl game with West Virginia on January 1.
Ball passed for 1,820 yards this season while starting every game. He threw for 20 touchdowns and was intercepted 14 times, but was criticized for inconsistency, especially after Tech’s offense sputtered in a regular season-ending loss to Georgia and a loss to Wake Forest in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.
Ball compiled 8,579 yards of total offense, including 8,128 passing yards with 57 touchdowns during his career.
Scott has been a three-year starter who has 50 tackles, two interceptions and 10 pass breakups this season.
Taylor Bennett will start ahead of Ball and Jahi Word-Daniels would take Scott’s place at cornerback. Bennett completed 16 of 29 passes during the season, with two touchdowns and one interception.
