Why NC State Will Win

The run defense is playing well … at least lately.

It helps when your last three games are Florida State, Liberty, and Syracuse, but NC State is doing what it was supposed to and beating the mediocre teams on the slate. It hasn’t been easy, but this year, a win is a win is a win.

The defensive front hasn’t allowed more than 190 rushing yards in over a month, and it only had problems against North Carolina and Virginia Tech. Stop the Georgia Tech ground game, and you stop Georgia Tech.

The Yellow Jackets were able to roll by Duke last week with five takeaways. NC State turns the ball over a bit, but not enough to be too big a problem, but …

Why Georgia Tech Will Win

NC State does turn the ball over.

There were issues over a two game stretch with seven combined against Duke and North Carolina, and it gave up at least once in every game so far. Georgia Tech needs the mistakes, and it needs to capitalize on all of them.

The NC State run defense might be doing a great job over the last few weeks, but it got ripped to shreds against the teams that can actually run. Georgia Tech might not be North Carolina or a fully-functioning Virginia Tech with its ground game, but it tore off 377 yards against Duke last week and should average close to five yards per carry.

What’s Going To Happen

Georgia Tech will make this interesting, but NC State will do a much, much better job on third downs on both sides of the ball, and it’ll finally be able to control the clock and the tempo on someone.

The Yellow Jackets aren’t going to get enough from the defensive line to pull this off, and they’re not going to get the five takeaways Duke gave up last week.

Why NC State Will Win

The Georgia Tech offense simply isn’t doing enough consistently well to move the chains.

Even this late in the season, there’s nothing the O can count on and there’s still little to no passing game. Worst yet, when the team is gets its opportunities to score and gets into the red zone, it’s whiffing.

Dead last in the nation in red zone offense. the Yellow Jackets have come away empty in eight of their last 16 chances. The kicking game is struggling, there are too many turnovers, and the offense bogs down without any go-to big play element to turn to.

For all of NC State’s problems, the defensive line isn’t that awful. The run defense is giving up just 128 yards per game, and Georgia Tech hasn’t been able to get above 100 yards in two of its last three games, and hasn’t hit 50% of its passes in five of its last seven outings.

However …

Why Georgia Tech Will Win

NC State doesn’t take the ball away.

For all the pressure the defensive front is able to generate, it’s not leading to mistakes with just five takeaways on the season with none in the last six games.

Georgia Tech needs all the help it can get.

As mediocre as the Yellow Jacket offense has been, and as much of a problem as it has scoring, NC State is having just as many issues. It’s moving the ball, and it’s coming up with yards, but it can’t put the biscuit in the basket with 16 points or fewer in four of the last six games, and 24 points or fewer in each of the last six.

NC State is the exact right team for Georgia Tech to deal with at home. It’s not going to bust out with a big offensive performance to change the dynamic right away, and it’s not going to run well enough to control the clock.

The Pack have just one rushing touchdown in the last six games, and they’re not going to plow though this defensive front for a 200-yard outing.

What’s Going To Happen

It’s going to be about which side can get the right, fortunate breaks and capitalize on them. Neither team will do anything special offensively, and neither one will be able to take over to ever feel comfortable.

It won’t be pretty, but Georgia Tech will take it by being a +2 in turnover margin, and it’ll need the mistakes.
