The last two meetings between these rivals ended in Georgia Tech pulling the upset both times. The Hokies will look to seek revenge at home and pick up a much needed ACC win to stay on top of the Coastal division.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
The Yellow Jackets are 3-4 overall and 1-3 in the ACC. They once again are having a poor season due to the fact they do not have the amount of talent that other teams have. They will be looking for their third straight win over the Hokies.
The Georgia Tech offense is of course the triple option. It is no surprise that the Tech offense is the top team in the country when it comes to running the ball. They average 352.4 rushing yards per game. On the other hand, they rank 127th in their passing offense and are averaging 101 yards per game. They need to score early in this game to ensure they can continue running the ball. If they go behind early, it will be tough for them to claw their way back, especially if they are forced to throw the ball.

The Georgia Tech defense has just not been good enough to keep them in games this year. They allow 28.3 points per game, which ranks 75th. The defense will likely need to find several stops in this game to allow their offense to chew up some of the clock.
Virginia Tech Hokies
The Hokies enter this game 4-2 overall and 3-0 in the ACC. Besides the blowout loss to Notre Dame and the embarrassing loss to Old Dominion, the Hokies have been a solid team. For the time being, the Hokies are likely the favorite in the ACC Coastal and can keep the pressure on with a win in this contest.
The Hokies offense has had their struggles this year, but against ACC foes they have been averaging 25.7 points per game. They are a better passing team an average 272 yards through the air per game. This ranks 30th in the NCAA and will be the key to putting pressure on the Georgia Tech defense.

They rank 126th in the country an allow an average of 295.7 passing yards per game. Their run defense is much better as they have allowed an average of 123 yards per game. If the Hokies can shut down the run, they win this game easily.
