College football on ESPN serves up a gem Thursday night when the Virginia Tech Hokies travel to Atlanta for a good ole’ ACC battle with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Bobby Dodd Stadium with kick-off time set for 8:00 p.m. ET.
“If you like defense dominated games, this one should be right up your alley” said Point-Spreads.com College Football Picks specialist Reno Goldberg. “Maybe that is why oddsmakers at Bodog (bodog.com) have set the total so low at 41. The Jackets are also laying 3-points in what opened at -2 ½. The final score of this game will be something like 20-17. I would be surprised if the total went OVER."
Georgia Tech is ranked No. 7 nationally (287 ypg) in total defense while the Hokies have the No. 15 ranked defense only giving up 304 ypg.
Georgia Tech's and ACC rushing leader Tashard Choice will not play due to injury. Virginia Tech’s top linebacker is also out with a broken wrist suffered against Boston College last week.
Yellow Jackets coach Chan Gailey said sophomore Jamaal Evans will start, and freshman Jonathan Dwyer will also play. Fullback Mike Cox, who had career highs of four carries and 38 yards in the last game against Army, may run, too.
There is some question as to who will start at quarterback for the Hokies. Will it be Tyrod Taylor , who has started since taking over the duties in the LSU game, or Sean Glennon. Taylor did not play in the teams loss to Boston College because of a sprained ankle he got in the game with Duke on Oct. 13. According to Hokies coach Frank Beamer, it will be a game-time decision as to who gets the nod.
