Fresno State at Georgia Tech

This one won't be like Boise State vs. Oklahoma last year. Fresno State has lost so many defensive starters this season between injuries and suspension that they really haven't been able to stop any team's running game at all. Unfortunately, that is what Georgia Tech does the best as they are good at running the ball. Tech is averaging over 200 yards a game on the ground and nearly five yards per carry, while the post-defensive losses to this Fresno State team are yielding over six a carry. The top four ball carriers for Tech each average at least 5.2 ypc, and should be able to run all over Fresno State. Fresno State did go up against five Bowl teams this season with their only win coming against Nevada, who has already lost its Bowl game. Fresno could not stop any of these teams as they gave up 509 yards per game and 42.2 ppg! This defense is just too banged up to stop the powerful running game of Tech. Tech also has one of the best pass rushes in all of football averaging four sacks a game. They have held their opponent's rushing attacks to right around a half yard less than their season output. Tech should have control of this game from start to finish and come away with a double-digit win.
