I am reading about a lot of people taking Clemson and some are bringing up the point that Tech looked sloppy last week.
But let's look into that.
How many players had at least 1 rushing attempt for Tech? 13.
Who had the most rushing attempts? Nesbitt (QB) 14. Second most? Dwyer 7.
Is it hard to get into a rhythm with that many players getting touches? Yes.
This kind of reminds me of last season's opener when Georgia Tech won 41-14 against this same Jacksonville State team. 9 players had a rushing attempt, and it was a sloppy effort by Tech. They had five fumbles (two lost).
But how did they respond? By beating a solid Boston College team on the road. Nesbitt and Dwyer combined for 33 rushes and 158 yards in that game. They only had 3 others with rushing attempts (Jones with 3, 2 others with 1). I expect to see a whole lot of Nesbitt, Dwyer, and Jones.
Obviously, I will be backing Georgia Tech (-5.5).

Finally, a SMART capper. With ya BRO, lets get the . GL all
p.s. To all those who say G Tech looked BAD last week, thats good because CFB Teams ALWAYS improve more from week 1 to 2 more than any other time during the season. LOVE IT, they argue AGAINST themselves!!!

CJ Spiller was not in the game last year - correct
But who was virtually non-existent in the game last year? Roddy Jones.
He only had 2 carries and 1 reception. Coach Johnson continued to use him more and more into the offense (anyone remember Jones' 200+ yards against a decent UGA team?) as the season progressed.
Oh, and who had more rushing yards last season, Spiller or Jones? Jones -- even with 30 less carriies!
I have seen Jones play, and let me tell you, he could end up being even better than Dwyer.
Georgia Tech. Bet them.

Let's not forget one other important factor:
