It seems like we’re all being baited into this one – it appears to be too obvious.
That’s the scary part, but Virginia Tech really is and should be a touchdown better than Georgia Tech.
The Yellow Jackets are improving under Geoff Collins. The passing game is coming off its best game of the season in a five-point loss to Virginia, the defense was able to keep Pitt to 20 points and led the way in a win over Miami, and the pressure is off.
With a losing season ensured, the program that’s rebuilding and moving towards 2020 is about to turn it loose as it tries to screw up the Hokies, NC State, and Georgia in a three-game homestand to close things out.
The Hokies, though, are hot.
With four wins in the last five – and the one loss coming to Notre Dame on the road in the final seconds – the season and team have turned around, setting up showdowns against Pitt and Virginia to close.
First, the defense needs to take care of the Yellow Jackets.
The Georgia Tech passing game that worked against the Cavaliers isn’t going to go off again, the Hokie run denies has been a rock over the last six games – allowing fewer than three yards per carry in three of the last four games – and the return of a healthy Hendon Hooker at quarterback is enough to pull this off by at least a touchdown.
