This is a tough matchup for the Georgia Tech run-oriented offense in facing a strong Florida State defense on a 4-1 run UNDER the total. Florida State has allowed one rushing touchdown this season, which came in the second quarter of the opener against Texas State. The Seminoles also haven't allowed a run of more than 30 yards and only two over 20. Last season they allowed 17 runs of 20-plus yards. This will be the third running quarterback that Florida State has faced this year and the Seminoles are 6-2 UNDER the total in ACC play, plus 13-5 UNDER on natural grass. The unbeaten Seminoles are #19 nationally in run defense, allowing 113.5 yards per game. That is a marked improvement from last season when they allowed nearly double that at 226.8. For the third straight week the Seminoles will be facing a back that is among the ACC leaders, but Louisville's Lamar Jackson was held to 32 yards last week, and on Oct. 10, Miami RB Joseph Yearby gained just 33 yards. Look for the terrific Florida State run defense to shine, meaning this total is far too high. Play Florida State/Georgia Tech UNDER.
