Georgia Tech Football: GT vs. VT Advanced Stats Preview

Georgia Tech is going to play Virginia Tech in Blacksburg on Saturday. The game is a repeat of the previous game between Virginia and Miami.

Georgia Tech's offensive problems continued on Saturday in Tallahassee. Jeff Sims was unable to go, Zach Gibson was ineffective and Zach Pyron was only able to move the ball consistently once things were in garbage time mode. Virginia Tech has a good, not great defense, although the Hokies are elite at stuffing runs. The important question for the team is who will be the starting quarterback. If Sims is healthy and can create with his legs, it probably gives GT the best chance to win this game.

Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech are going to play each other. The Hokies have a better defense than the Jackets. Their offensive line is bad. Neither team has a clear game breaker at running back. Kaleb Smith is the highest graded receiver for the Hokie offense. GT's front line should have the advantage. The game should be close. VT doesn't hit many big plays. If GT can make sure that continues, it looks like a rock fight on both sides.

Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech are playing in the Tecmo Bowl. The Hokies are favored by 3.5 points. Georgia Tech has played the 32nd toughest schedule of the season. VirginiaTech has the home field advantage. The Binion Index has GeorgiaTech winning by 4.2 points, but I'm going to pick Georgiatech.
