The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets come try to rebound off a tough 38-31 home loss to the North Carolina Tar Heels, while the Clemson Tigers look to keep their momentum going, following their impressive 24-22 win over Notre Dame last weekend. This is a huge game for both teams inside the ACC.
Coming into the season the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets were thought of as a very serious contender in the ACC’s Coastal Division, and they still might win it, but their job has been made a bit more difficult as they have started out 0-2 in the ACC. The losses were at Duke two weeks ago and then last week they held a 28-24 lead heading into the 4th quarters before North Carolina came back to win 38-31. This is not the start this team was expecting as they have 13 starters back from last year, including QB Justin Thomas, who ran for 1000 yards and threw for 1700 more last year.
Georgia Tech’s offense is the Triple Option and it is very hard to stop, but Duke and Notre Dame did contain it in BB weeks, while last week it was their defense and two costly Turnovers that did them in. The Jackets still have road games vs Virginia and Miami, plus home games vs Pittsburgh, Florida state Virginia Tech and Georgia on their remaining schedule after this game, so this team needs t turn it around quickly or they will not even make it to a bowl game.
The Clemson defense was aided by miserable weather, but still they played very well in their 24-22 win over Notre Dame. Really the defense held notre Dam in check for 3 quarters and then had to fend off a furious rally before winning the game by 2 points on a missed 2-pt conversion. The Tigers did benefit from 4 Notre Dame turnovers and that was really the difference in the game as the Irish outgained Clemson by 141 yards in the contest. Thanks to the win Over Notre Dame, The Tigers are now ranked 6th in the country, which is where the Irish were before Clemson beat them.
The Tiger offense has been solid this year, but still it has been their defense that has been really good as they have allowed just 305 ypg and 14.8 ppg on the year so far. In last year’s meeting with Georgia Tech it was the Tigers offense that let them down as they put up just 190 totals yards and 6 points. They will need much more from their offense in this one.

Free College Football Pick: [375] Georgia Tech +7.5
Georgia Tech is a better team than they have shown the last 3 weeks and will be taking on a Clemson team that just may be ripe for a letdown after their nationally televised win over Notre Dame. Clemson was actually outplayed in that game and their offense was good for just 296 yards in the game. They will need to do better than that vs a Tech defense that has been solid this year as they have allowed just 338 yards of total offense. Clemson also will need to do better on offense if they hope to keep pace with this high scoring Georgia Tech squad. Georgia tech is a very good team that needs this game badly and i feel they will play with that desperation, while Clemson may be just a bit flat after last week’s big win.
