Georgia Tech Takes Field Following 8OT Thriller

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets went 7-5 this season and nearly pulled off a huge upset in their final game in the regular season. They took the Georgia Bulldogs to eight overtimes, nearly defying the college football odds before failing to convert a two-point attempt in the eighth overtime to prolong the game further. Here, the Yellow Jackets will look to rebound from that disappointing loss as they take to the field this bowl season.

For Georgia Tech, the key to this game is going to be running the football, both with their quarterback and their weapons on the ground. Haynes King took a beating with some massive hits against Georgia, but the Yellow Jackets quarterback has had plenty of time between that game and this one. If he can keep the defense of the Commodores off-balance in this matchup, Georgia Tech could do enough offensively to get a win in this matchup.

Can Vanderbilt Snap Losing Streak In Bowl Game?

The Vanderbilt Commodores went 6-6 this season, dropping three games in a row to finish their regular season. Playing in the SEC, Vandy struggled facing some of the toughest teams in all of college football. Here, the Commodores have a chance to end their season above the .500 mark, needing a win in this game to get to 7-6 on the year.

Vandy will have quarterback Diego Pavia on the field for this matchup for what could be the last time. Pavia is in the midst of a lawsuit to try and remain eligible for the 2025 season. But no matter what happens with that matter, Pavia's ability to make plays both through the air and on the ground will be huge for the Commodores to have in this game.
