Georgia Tech is coming off a big win over No. 10 Florida State to start the season, but there’s not much time to celebrate. The Yellow Jackets have six days to prepare for Georgia State, their home opener for the 2024 season. While Georgia Tech was impressive against Florida State on Saturday, they can’t afford to take any opponent for granted. The Panthers will look to come to Bobby Dodd Stadium on Saturday and get a win under their new head coach Dell McGee. It will be interesting to see what Georgia State looks like on Saturday, and Georgia Tech needs to be ready.
But on Saturday, bookies across the country have the Yellow Jackets as clear favorites. According to the latest odds from Fanduel Sportsbook, Georgia Tech is a 21.5-point favorite on Saturday night, with the over/under odds at 56.5.
Georgia Tech had a fantastic offensive performance against Florida State yesterday and executed the game plan perfectly. The Yellow Jackets ran the ball effectively from the first snap and continued to do so for the rest of the game. Haynes King had some difficult runs in the game and was great when they needed him to throw the ball and move the chains. Against one of the most talented defenses in the ACC, Georgia Tech came out on top and that could be a sign of another successful season on offense.
Jamal Haynes rushed for 75 yards on 11 carries, King rushed for 54 on 15 carries and Chad Alexander rushed for 41 yards on 7 carries. Malik Rutherford was Georgia Tech’s top receiver, catching four passes for 66 yards. Georgia Tech averaged 6.5 yards per play, while Florida State averaged 5.0.
Florida State’s running attack, which garnered a lot of attention before this game, was held to 3.2 yards per carry.
This was a huge win for the team. The Yellow Jackets have been on an upswing under Key and while they still have a tough road ahead, this is a great start to the year. Now they have to deal with the success and attention this game will bring and prepare to face Georgia State next weekend.
