Week 5 Preview: MTSU versus Georgia Tech


Saturday, September 29
12:00 PM Middle Tennessee at Georgia Tech: 

This is a matchup between MTSU of the Sun Belt and Georgia Tech of the ACC. The MTSU Blue Raiders enter this game at 2-1 although their schedule is one of the worst in the nation after 3 games. MTSU has put up 420 yards per game of total offense and has outscored opponents by 9 points per game. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are entering this game at 2-2 behind one of the best rushing attacks in the nation. The Yellow Jackets rush for 352 yards per game and put up 42 points per game. Georgia Tech is pretty good on defense but allow just over 21 points per game inflated by a horrible performance versus Miami. This is the third overall meeting between the two schools with Georgia Tech winning the previous two meetings by an average of 28 points. With only a week to study for a difficult triple option offense and a hard hitting defense, the MTSU Blue Raiders are outmatched by Georgia Tech. The Blue Raiders may hang in there for a half but do not have the athletes to compete with Georgia Tech for all four quarters. Georgia Tech 45-21.
