Schule's ACC EXECUTIONER
(NCAAF) Georgia Tech vs. Clemson, 10/10/2015 11:30 AM, Score: 24 - 43
Point Spread: -7.00 | -116.00 Clemson (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 5* play on the Clemson Tigers.

They 24-22 win over Notre Dame was far more impressive that it looks at first glance. The Tigers shut down the Irish through the first three quarters, and they held running back C.J. Prosise to 50 yards on 15 carries. They eventually stopped the Irish on a two-point conversion try that ended a furious 4th quarter rally.

Clemson will host the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets this week, and coming off a big win over the Irish, some might think this is a let down spot. I don't think we'll see any such thing from Clemson though, as they've had this game circled on the calendar since the pre-season. The Yellow Jackets beat them badly last year, setting up an opportunity for a bit of revenge this time around.

With Deshaun Watson battling injury, it was Cole Stoudt that started at quarterback in last year's loss, and he completed just 3-of-11 attempts, throwing three picks. Watson is healthy this time around, and he's had a solid season so far, throwing for 738 yards and nine TDs. He also poses a dual threat in the running game, and he ran in a touchdown in last week's game against the Irish.

Clemson finished last season with the top ranked defense in the country, and they aren't far off so far this year. I don't like the Yellow Jackets chances of running their Triple-Option on the road here in Clemson. They didn't have a single rushing TD in last year's game, and half of their points came on INT returns. Clemson has won and covered three straight at home versus Georgia Tech.

Take CLEM.
