#349/350 ASA FREE PLAY ON Over 56 Points – Georgia Tech vs Virginia, Saturday at 2 PM ET - The Georgia Tech defense has been abysmal this season allowing 467 YPG on 6.6 YPP ranking them 130th and 128th in those 2 key stats. The Jackets have allowed at least 38 points in 4 of their last 6 games. They can’t pressure the QB, ranking 101st in sacks per game, which plays nicely into UVA’s strength offensively which is throwing the ball (243 YPG passing). The Cavs aren’t a great running team but should have success keep their offense balanced in this game vs GT’s rush defense which ranks 132nd (dead last) at stopping the run. Virginia has scored at least 24 points in each of their last 4 games, all vs defenses ranked much better than this Georgia Tech stop unit. Since getting starting QB Muskett back in the line up 4 games ago, the Cavs have averaged 27 PPG on almost 400 YPG. They will have success offensively in this game vs the worst defense they’ve faced this season. Defensively, UVA won’t slow down this potent Ga Tech offense. The Jackets rank in the top 20 nationally in total offense and YPP. They are a very good running team averaging over 190 YPG on the ground on 5.5 YPC (12th nationally) and they are facing a UVA defense that ranks 96th in rushing YPG allowed and YPC allowed. This Virginia defense also allowed 31 PPG which is 107th in the country. Tech averages 32 PPG so we expect them to top 30 in this game. GT plays fast (30th in tempo) and UVA is middle of the pack so we should have plenty of offensive snaps in this game. Tech games are averaging 64 total points this season and Virginia games are averaging 55 points per game. Last year was a low scoring game but both offenses ranked outside the top 100 and that’s not the case this season. The 4 meetings previous to last year totaled 88, 61, 57, and 76 total points. Weather looks perfect in Charlottesville on Saturday afternoon with temps in the upper 60’s and winds less than 5 MPH. High scoring here.
