Georgia Tech has been 5-0, but it's been a hard-living 5-0.

It needed to battle to get by Colorado on the road, it was a great fight to slip by Clemson, and it took way too much work to get by Wake Forest in a 30-29 thriller.

This looked and played like a team that needed a break, and it got one. Now it needs to look like a team in the College Football Playoff hunt.

It isn't exactly a lost season for Virginia Tech, but after losing to Wake Forest last week, it can't afford many other misfires if it hopes to go bowling.

The Hokies beat NC State with a season-high 229 yards on the ground, and predictably, ran well on Wofford. Do that, and keep Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King from making plays on the move. But ...

Why Georgia Tech Will Win

King got two weeks off to rest up after being hurt for most of the first part of the campaign.

Even banged up, he fought through the problems to keep getting the job done, and now he has to start spreading the ball around more and be more selective when taking off.

Virginia Tech has tightened up a bit over the last few games, but the big plays were there down the field in big early losses, so ...

Can Georgia Tech play an easy power conference game?

Going back to last season, the last seven games Georgia Tech played against power conference teams have all been decided by one score. The last time it played in a power game that wasn't tight was against ...

Virginia Tech.

The Hokies won 31-6 last year, but King wasn't able to go. At home, and with time to take a deep breath, the Yellow Jackets keep marching on.
