Georgia Tech quarterback Tobias Oliver talks with the media after practice Thursday. The team is mourning the death of defensive lineman Brandon Adams. “I feel like some guys are dealing with it better than others,” Oliver said. “The guys that are dealing with it are picking other guys up. As a team, we’re pretty uplifting. We’re doing it all for Brandon.”

On a chilly spring morning, the sun shining brightly under a brilliant azure sky, the Georgia Tech players balled up a fist and thumped their chests a couple of times. Then they put up five fingers on one hand, four on the other, signifying a 90. After pounding their chests two more times, they all bellowed in unison, “Big B!”

Brandon Adams, No. 90, was on everyone’s mind.

Only days removed from the death of their friend and brother, the Yellow Jackets struggled to regain a sense of normalcy Thursday with the grind of spring practice.
