The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have their first real test of the year on Saturday, as the 14th ranked Ramblin’ Wreck faces off in South Bend, Indiana against the #8 Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
The Georgia Tech offense has been a finely tuned machine through the first two game of the 2015, totaling 134 through their first two games against both Alcorn State and Tulane. Don’t expect that type of output against Notre Dame on Saturday.

The Fighting Irish have a talented and deep defense, and while starting quarterback Malik Zaire and running back Tarean Folston are out for the season, Notre Dame has depth at tailback and QB DeShone Kizer is no pushover either.
Expect a close game throughout, as both the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and Notre Possess two of the best offenses in the country. It will come down to the defensive stops that each team can make in the game, preventing long drives and touchdowns.
The Jacket defense must mitigate Kizer’s ability to pass downfield, while the offense must churn out long drives to keep the Irish defense on the field and tire them out. With that in mind, here are 5 Georgia Tech players to watch during tomorrow’s game:
