On the heels of back to back losses, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are on the road this week, as they face off against the Pittsburgh Panthers in a treacherous spot. Paul Johnson and company are very much alive in what is awideopen race for the ACC Coastal Division title, but at the same time, the Georgia Tech defense has been comically ineffective at times over the past two weeks, and as a result, it could be difficult for some Jackets fans to envision a lights-out performance in a hostile environment.
In this match-up, Georgia Tech is currently listed as approximatelya 3-point underdogin this game (depending on where you look, it could be as many as four points), which would clearly indicate that the general perception of this team falls approximately even with Pittsburgh, as the three-point swing could be attributed to home field advantage. Inour full preview from earlier in the week, Carlos Collazo took a deeper dive at this match-up, but Paul Johnson wasquick to praise the Pittsburgh defenseduring press conference comments earlier in the week, and the Panthers have one of the best offensive weapons in America in the form of running back James Conner.
Stay tuned to this thread throughout the afternoon, and feel free to blast off in the comments before, during, and after the game. Here are the particulars for the match-up:
