Georgia Tech-Clemson Preview

The key to the Jackets getting a win is stopping CJ Spiller. Tech's defense is coming of an embarrassing loss to Georgia, and they have to go up against Heisman Candidate CJ Spiller. Georgia Tech isn't known for two things: Defense and Special Teams. CJ Spiller is a dangerous return man and an even more dangerous back. Georgia Tech's defensive line needs to stand their ground against Clemson's tough rushing game. Another thing that worries me is Tech's health. I have not heard anything about wide receiver Stephen Hill, but from the way he landed against Georgia, it does not look good for him. Starting defensive tackle Ben Anderson will be out Saturday with a knee injury. Finally, Josh Nesbitt seemed fine after his high ankle injury against Georgia, but he needs to stay that way. Starting wide receiver "Bay Bay" Thomas needs to shake of that dropped pass and bring his A game. With Clemson's high powered offense, Tech needs to score every possession and limit the turnovers. Coach Paul Johnson needs to come up with some trick plays to throw Clemson off like he did in their first meeting this year with the fake field goal. Time of possession has been Georgia Tech's friend all year with the exception of the Georgia and Miami game, which they both lost, so they need to work that triple option of Paul Johnson's to perfection. Overall, I think Clemson has more talent than Georgia Tech, but if Tech limits turnovers and controls the speed of the game, they should be able to get a win. My prediction is Georgia Tech- 34 Clemson- 31.

Gooooo Jackets!!!!!
