Georgia Tech's passing game meets a run-defense test

Georgia Tech averages 241.2 passing yards per game, and Alberto Mendoza has thrown for 1,943 yards and 11 touchdowns. But the Yellow Jackets allow 32.2 points and 222.8 rushing yards per game. Moving the ball through the air may not be enough if they cannot slow Clemson's ground game.

The Yellow Jackets have lost four straight since beating Duke 28-25. Their latest defeat, 44-17 against Louisville, followed losses to Pittsburgh, Boston College and Virginia Tech. Georgia Tech scored 27 against Boston College and 24 against Virginia Tech, yet conceded 49 and 34, respectively. Those games show that a competitive scoring output has not consistently kept the Jackets close. The 11-point showing at Pittsburgh presents another concern: when the scoring drops off, their recent results offer little evidence that they can compensate by keeping an opponent in check.

Clemson's defensive edge, with a scoring question

Clemson allows 20.7 points and 122.3 rushing yards per game, a firmer defensive profile than Georgia Tech's. The Tigers average 153.1 rushing yards per game, led by Gideon Davidson's 528 yards and five touchdowns. That combination offers a way to control the matchup, though Clemson averages only 22.7 points per game.

Clemson arrives with consecutive road wins, beating Florida State 36-24 before edging Syracuse 18-13. The scoring difference between those victories matters: the Tigers found far more points against Florida State but needed to protect a narrow margin at Syracuse. Their preceding home results were similarly uneven, with a 16-20 loss to Virginia Tech between a 37-0 win over Charleston Southern and a 13-41 loss to Miami. The recent wins give Clemson momentum, but that home sequence makes it difficult to treat a comfortable result as automatic.

BTB Betting Pick

Winner pick: Clemson Tigers.

Clemson's stronger defensive averages and Georgia Tech's four-game losing streak favor the Tigers. The pick comes with some caution, given Clemson's uneven recent home results and its narrow win at Syracuse.
