This is a 10* BLOWOUT on Georgia Tech.
While I won't go so far as to call for an outright upset, I do believe that this is too many points to be giving up and expect Georgia Tech to at the very least, keep this one close enough to sneak in through the back door down the stretch. This is a matchup of strength vs. strength, as the Yellow Jackets high-octane triple-option offense takes on the hard-nosed defense of the Runnin Rebels. Mississippi State was dominant on the defensive side of the ball, but was not tested by anything like what Georgia Tech brings to the offensive table. The Yellow Jackets will be running today, and the team uses mismatches and clever offensive sets to get consistent production on almost every drive, ultimatley posting a ridiculous 333.6 yards of offense per game average on the ground this year. In all, fourteen players have recorded a carry for the team and twelve of those have at least 100 yards. However, if the defense cheats, then QB Justin Thomas can burn it through the air, the sophomore tallied 17 TD's with just five INTs in 175 attempts. As good as the Bulldogs defense is, I have a hard time seeing their offense keeping pace. I like Georgia Tech to turn up the pressure early and while Mississippi State may in the end pull out the victory, I definitely expect this one to come down to the wire, indeed making the savvy move on the YELLOW JACKETS.
