Georgia Tech (1-2) vs. Temple (2-1) Game Preview
Why Temple Will Win
The Georgia Tech offense really isn’t working.
It’s trying to push away from the old days of the triple-option, but there’s no passing game – Georgia Tech has the worst air attack in the ACC – and the ground attack isn’t nearly good enough to pick up the slack.
The run defense stats aren’t quite fair – the Yellow Jackets got hammered by Clemson, and a Citadel option offense – but again, the bigger issue is the Tech offense that’s having way too hard a time scoring.

What’s Going To Happen
The offense just isn’t working.

At home, this is a different Temple team that will get the production out of the passing game that Georgia Tech won’t. However, this is still a decent Yellow Jacket team with the ACC talent to at least hang around.
