Georgia Tech vs Wake Forest Prediction: Can the Yellow Jackets Keep Rolling?

The win at Colorado to start the season was great, taking out Clemson was fantastic, and now at 4-0, everything is humming.

With no Miami, Florida State, or Louisville to face, and the toughest ACC game the rest of the way either at Duke or at NC State, everything is set up perfectly.

But first, it has to win the first ACC road game of the season.

Why Georgia Tech Will Win

It's an all-time awful Heisman race with absolutely no one in the hunt. In an MVP sort of way, though, King deserves early recognition.

The one area that's a problem - ball control - isn't an issue. Wake Forest doesn't care a lick about the time of possession battle, but ...

Why Wake Forest Will Win

The wounds are mostly self-inflicted.

The Demon Deacons couldn't seem to turn the yards into points in the weird 10-9 win over Kennesaw State, the three turnovers made the blowout over Western Carolina look better than it was, and the two picks thrown against NC State hurt.

Georgia Tech is doing plenty of things right, but it's not forcing a ton of takeaways. Wake Forest has to keep the offense moving, hit the midrange throws, score whenever there's a chance in the red zone, and ...

Can Wake Forest Stop Georgia Tech's Ground Game?

Not really.

The Yellow Jackets made the Temple game easy by ripping off big game after big game, and it was able to survive Colorado by controlling the game on the ground in the blast of a road date.

Georgia Tech won't take any chances. It'll run 35 times, try to keep King from getting popped, and go into the week off to get its beaten-up quarterback as close to healthy as possible.
