Key Storylines
- Georgia Tech’s Offensive Dominance: The Yellow Jackets have been averaging over 570 total yards and 43 points per game. They have a balanced attack with contributions from both their passing and rushing attacks. They have a versatile quarterback, who can change games both with his arm and with his legs and Haynes King will try to make an impact again in this contest.
- Wake Forest’s Red Zone Struggles: The Demon Deacons rank 132nd in the FBS in red zone offense, converting only 62.5% of their trips. That could be a significant disadvantage against Georgia Tech’s defense if and when Wake Forest does get into scoring range.
- Wake Forest’s Time of Possession Issues: Wake Forest is averaging just 26:59 in time of possession. The Demon Deacons’ offense has struggled to sustain drives, leading to increased pressure on their defense.
Quarterback Play
- Georgia Tech: Haynes King has been efficient, contributing to the team’s high-scoring offense with both his arm and legs. He has completed 69% of his passes and has two passing touchdowns. King also has five rushing touchdowns and will cause headaches for the Demon Deacons’ defense here.
- Wake Forest: Robby Ashford has been inconsistent at quarterback for the Demon Deacons. He enters this game with a 63.5% completion rate and a 1:3 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He hasn’t been productive enough moving the ball through the air without turning it over and that needs to change if Wake Forest is going to turn its season around.
Betting Trends & H2H

Final Thoughts
Georgia Tech’s multi-faceted offense and Wake Forest’s struggles in avoiding turnovers should help the Yellow Jackets win handily on Saturday afternoon. I recommend laying the points with the Yellow Jackets in this game, as Haynes King should have another big game through the air and on the ground to help his team get to 5-0.
