georgia tech vs bYU Pick
BYU enters with an 11-2 record and one of the more balanced programs in the nation, ranking top-25 allowing just 20.6 PPG and around 350 total yards per game. Offensively, the Cougars lean on the run led by LJ Martin's 1,305 yards (ranked sixth) on 236 carries. Despite rumors of the junior declaring for the NFL, he is expected to suit up in Orlando.
Georgia Tech counters as one of those teams that just grinds and gets things done. The Yellow Jackets average 446.8 total yards per game (top-20) and score 30.7 points per contest, anchored by quarterback Haynes King, who has tossed nearly 2,700 yards but is even more lethal on his feet with 922 yards and 15 scores.
The Yellow Jacket’s ground attack is seriously dangerous, ranking top-20 at 201 yards per game. But, be weary of ball security as Georgia Tech has recorded at least one turnover in its last five outings. That feeds into BYU's CB Evan Johnson's territory, with the junior recording four interceptions and defending six passes this season.
BYU ranks 10th nationally in time of possession (32:41) and is one of the better teams in the country on third down defense, holding opponents to a 35.1% conversion rate. Georgia Tech’s defense has been vulnerable against the run, coughing up 174.5 rushing yards per game, which plays into exactly how BYU wants to play the game.
With majority of the Cougars team sticking around for the bowl game, including Bear Bachmeier who is recovering from an ankle sprain, BYU should control the line of scrimmage and tempo as they've done all year, leading them to be 9-0 SU/7-2 ATS when favored this season.
