Tonight's marquee match up is is Georgia Tech @ Miami. Last season, the Yellow Jackets surprised the Hurricanes 41-23 in Miami. And it wasn't even that close....Tech was up 41-10 going into the 4th quarter. Tech threw just 7 times in the game last year while rushing 56 times for 472 yards.But that was last year, and it was at home. Miami will be alot more hostile that Atlanta, and the Hurricanes are on their way back to the top. QB Jacory Harris is developing as a star right in front of us now that he isn't batting with Robert Marve for the starting job.
Historically, teams that see this offense the second time around do much better than they did the first time. They have had a year of film to study now and have seen it in person once.
On the other hand, Tech probably has better talent across the board right now. A few lean recruiting years at Miami decimated the depth of the program. The last three seasons were good, both most of those players are still young and I thin the Canes are one year away from being truly back. Tech's QB Josh Nesbitt was born for the offense they run and they have a thunder and lightening backfield combination in Jonathan Dwyer and Anthony Allen.
In the end, I like the Miami home crowd to give Jacory Harris the push he needs to lead Miami to a late 31-27 victory.
