Bottom Line

Georgia Tech’s triple option attack leads the nation in rushing yards per game as they have four ball carriers with over 500 yards on the season.  The Bulldogs’ stingy defense has allowed two of their eleven opponents to exceed the 20-point plateau.  Georgia’s excellent backfield duo will wear down the Yellow Jackets’ defense and Jake Fromm will make the key throws down the stretch to seal the win.

Georgia wins 35-21
