3.3* Early Bird Special - USC vs. Georgia Tech

[Pick Bot]

Georgia Tech +7.5 3.3* play
Tech is 4th in rushing play % while USC is 24th in passing play % so both teams have opposite schemes. USC had major issues tackling this year and I see that being a major issue in this game especially considering USC can't be very excited to be here. Georgia Tech on the other hand has to be absolutely thrilled to be in the Sun Bowl playing against a big program like USC. USC meanwhile was a pre season #1.

You can't sleep on Tech's defense either this is a group that blanked FSU's in the 2H of the ACC championship led by Jeremiah Ataochu who has 10 sacks. Tech will also get RB Orwin Smith back who is averaging over 9 yards per carry. USC will have some issues stopping this offense with Monte Kiffin stepping down. Kiffin still involved for this game has had major issues putting effective game plans for option offenses and adjusting to the new generation offense which is the offense. On the other-side Mac Whittick makes his second start and struggled vs. Notre Dame.
