The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets come into today’s game aiming to finish out their 2016 season on a high note against the SEC’s Kentucky Wildcats. The Yellow Jackets (8-4) come in having won 5 of 6 games since starting 3-3, including wins over rivals Virginia Tech and georgia. The Wildcats (7-5) come in on a hot streak of their own, winners of 5 of 7 to close the season including most recently a win at the end of November over in-state rivals Louisville and their Heisman-winning quarterback Lamar Jackson. Both teams are proficient at running the ball, while passing and defense has routinely been an issue for both teams throughout the year.
The teams meet at 11:00am on ESPN in the TaxSlayer Bowl from EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, FL, and Georgia Tech is a 3.5-point favorite. This is your GameThread. Join us here to discuss the game as it’s going on, and follow our writers on Twitter (shown below)!
