Matchup: Georgia Tech vs. Mississippi
Location: Nashville, TN ~ LP Field
Line: Mississippi -3. Total 56
Keys to Victory for Ga Tech
-Georgia Tech has the 5th ranked running game in the nation. They averaged over 310 yards per game while averaging 5.6 yards per carry and 45 yards on the ground. QB Vad Lee runs the option very well and has David Sims, Robert Godhigh, and Zach Laskey to rely on as excellent backs in their system.
-Ga Tech has a turnover margin of -3 in the nation. Most of their turnovers have been through the air though as they have 13 INTs to just 11 Passing TDs. As far as fumbles go, they only have 6 on the season.
-The Yellow Jackets have a formidable secondary. Chris Milton, Louis Young, Tyler Marcodes, and Quayshawn Nealy all have 2 interceptions each.
-Pass rusher Jeremiah Attaochu had 15.5 tackles for loss and 12 sacks.
Keys to Victory for Ole Miss
-The rush defense is obviously going to have to show up this weekend against the best running game they've seen all season. They've allowed 155 yards per game which was good for 58th in the nation. In 4 of their 5 losses, they allowed over 240 yards rushing which of course doesn't bode well for them.
-Bo Wallace has been very inconsistent this season. In their victories, Wallace only turned the ball over twice. He has nine turnovers in their 5 losses. The junior would like to use this game as a springboard to what could be a breakthrough senior season next year.
-Robert Nkemdiche is already one of the best DLs in the nation. The future NFLer has had an injury filled season, but should be a huge asset against Ga Tech.
Prediction: Ole Miss is going to have to put points on the board early in order for them to force Georgia Tech to move the ball through the air. Something they aren't very efficient at. I believe they have the weapons to do so, but I wouldn't actually put any money on this game.
