Mendoza’s Ankle and the Grip Debate | Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Football News
Description
Alberto Mendoza’s debut at Georgia Tech went viral for the wrong reasons — social media erupted over a white powder on his hands, fueling wild rumors of grip-enhancing substances. But beneath the noise, he was playing well, leading the team with solid passing numbers until a brutal sack late in the second quarter left him hobbling with a left ankle injury. He returned for the second half, but mobility concerns lingered as the Yellow Jackets couldn’t hold their lead. A late Colorado touchdown and a missed field goal sealed the narrow loss — and while the grip controversy faded, the ankle injury now looms large as the season’s first major setback.
