ATLANTA — Ted Roof is looking to solve Georgia Tech’s abysmal rankings in takeaways and third-down stops. Roof, in his fourth season as defensive coordinator, knows those will be keys when the Yellow Jackets play Duke on Saturday. Roof had a record of creating big plays with his aggressive defenses at Minnesota, Auburn and Penn State before his return to Georgia Tech, his alma mater, in 2013.
