Why Bet on Georgia Tech?
This is the season finale for Georgia Tech, which is 3-8 under first-year coach Geoff Collins. The Jackets come off a 28-26 win over NC State last Thursday to snap a three-game losing streak. Sophomore Jordan Mason matched a career high with 141 rushing yards, redshirt freshman James Graham accounted for 241 yards of offense and four touchdowns and true freshman Ahmarean Brown caught two touchdown passes.In the process, Brown tied the school’s freshman record for touchdown catches in a season (7 — matching the record set by Calvin Johnson in 2004) while Graham pulled within one of the school record for touchdown passes by a freshman (11 – one short of the record of 12 set by Shawn Jones in 1989).
Graham’s three touchdown passes give him 11 for the season, which moved him within one of the Georgia Tech freshman record of 12 touchdown passes, set by Shawn Jones in 1989. Graham accounted for four total touchdowns (three passing, one rushing), the most by a Yellow Jacket since Marshall accounted for four vs. Virginia Tech on Nov. 11, 2017.
Big Numbers
Georgia Tech’s 28 points matched a season high as were its 395 yards. Georgia Tech moved to 19-4 against its rotating opponents from the ACC Atlantic Division since the league began divisional play in 2005.
With season-ending injuries to WR Jalen Camp, OL Kenny Cooper and OL/DL Jahaziel Lee, Georgia Tech is down to eight seniors on its active roster. Texas A&M is the only NCAA Division I FBS teams with fewer seniors (6). Those eight seniors will be honored on Saturday.
