  "account": "Georgia Tech coach Brent Key is embracing the challenges of an 0-2 start to the season, despite losing to Colorado and Tennessee. Key is more focused on a 1-0 record for the week, emphasizing that the identity of a team at the beginning of the season does not dictate its identity for the entire season. An 8-0 start last season was Georgia Tech's best since 1966, but after losing four of the final five games, the narrative shifted to a middle-ground Atlantic Coast Conference squad. Key, who has led Georgia Tech to three straight winning seasons, is confident in new quarterback Alberto Mendoza, who joins the program after Haynes King, who was a dynamic runner and passer. Key stresses the importance of learning from each game, both wins and losses, and maintaining a week-by-week mindset.",
  "summary": "Georgia Tech coach Brent Key is learning to embrace the challenge after an 0-2 start to the season. One week later, the Yellow Jackets fell 45-24 to No. 15 Tennessee. “The identity that you have at the beginning of the season doesn’t mean it’s the identity you’re going to have for the full season,” Key said Tuesday ahead of hosting in-state Football Bowl Subdivision opponent Mercer.",
