Georgia Tech's passing offense isn't very good? But I thought that Reggie Ball used up all of his eligibility.(zing!)

Hey, look at that bulldog! Someone didn't put the antifreeze away properly.

Signature Wins: Georgia Tech-Clemson. Fresno State-Kansas State?

Common Opponents: None.

Prediction: Both teams feature good rushing attacks, and Fresno State has a better pass offense. However, Georgia Tech has the better overall defense, and Fresno State has had trouble stopping run. That should mean a big day for Tashard Choice, who will find lots of running room against the Bulldogs. He should lead the way for the Yellow Jackets in victory, 27-21.
