The Hokies and the Yellow Jackets are going to kickoff at Noon today and while this game is flying under the radar, it is a big matchup for both teams. For Georgia Tech, they are looking to clinch bowl eligibility for the second straight season, while Virginia Tech is hoping to keep their ACC title game hopes alive and win their third straight game.
Virginia Tech was a team that came into the year with a lot of hype, but they have not lived up to them so far. However, they only have one ACC loss and are still alive for a spot in the conference title game. They gave Miami all they could handle and then went across the country and handled Stanford 31-7. Last Thursday, they defeated Boston College 42-21. This is a team that has plenty of talent and Lane Stadium is of course a tough place to play.
Zach Pyron played ok last week against Notre Dame's defense and while Virginia Tech has talent on that side of the ball, they are not as as good as the Fighting Irish. Still, Pyron is going to have to play better than he did last week, especially if Georgia Tech can't run the ball. He finished last week with 269 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Pyron does not represent the kind of running threat that King does, but he can make things happen with his legs.
The Hokies also have a tremendous cornerback duo. Dorian Strong and Mansoor Delane are going to be challenging the receiver duo of Malik Rutherford and Eric Singleton Jr. Singleton received 13 targets in last weeks loss to Notre Dame. Virginia Tech is 46th in the country in third down offense, 106th in passing offense, 69th in red zone offense, 67th in sacks allowed, 39th in scoring offense, and 92nd in tackles for loss allowed. This offense has talent, but they don't always play up to their potential. At the start of the year, Virginia Tech was starting slow in games, but they have gotten off to better starts against Stanford and Boston College.
The Hokies have a talented group of receivers and Georgia Tech's weakness is in the secondary, where they have given up big passing games to opposing quarterbacks. Ali Jennings, Da'Quan Felton, Stephen Gosnell, Jaylin Lane, and Benji Gosnell can all make plays and can be tough matchups.
